An Overview of the CS6x/CS6R

In this section, an overview of the many features of the CS6x/CS6R is given.
The CS6x/CS6R hardware is made up of a number of sections, as shown in the following diagram.

Controller Section

Sequencer Tone Generator
Section Section
Effects Section
Controller Section
This section consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller, Sound
Control Knobs, and so on. The keyboard itself doesn't generate sounds, but instead sends note,
velocity and other information to the synthesizer's tone generator section when you plays notes. The
controllers also send changes. Information from the keyboard and controllers can be transmitted to
other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.
The CS6R has no keyboard, Pitch Bend or Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller or Sound Control Knobs.

Sequencer Section

This section can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card. The contents of
Tracks 1 to 16 correspond to MIDI channels and Parts in a Performance as shown in the following
illustration. The sequencer can play back songs with a different Voice assigned to each Part.
