FADE 
∧ and ∨ buttons to define the ff sound
output area for the higher range.
By overlapping the L-FADE and H-FADE
curves of each different tone, you can change
the way the tone sounds relative to how hard
or softly the keyboard is played.
5.Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the other tones, as
desired.
TONE DYNAMICS
You can adjust the settings so that a different
sound (tone) is output for each tone depending
