Auto Power-Off
This instrument features an Auto Power-Off
function that will help to save energy should you
forget to turn it off yourself. This function automatically turns off the instrument after 30 minutes of inactivity. The Auto Power-Off setting is
retained when the instrument is turned off.
If this instrument is connected to other equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer, but you do not intend to use it for some
time, we recommend that you turn off all
devices as described in their owner’s manuals.
Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the
other equipment. If you do not want the instrument to turn off automatically when connected
to other equipment, disable the Auto Power-Off
function.
NOTICE
• In certain modes of operation, the Auto
Power-Off function will not turn off the
instrument when 30 minutes has elapsed.
We recommend, therefore, that you always
turn off the instrument manually when you
are finished using it.
• reface DX only:
When the instrument is turned off by the
Auto Power-Off function, any Voice settings
not yet stored will be lost.

qBuilt-in speakers
For outputting the instrument’s sounds. If
you do not want sound to be output from
these speakers, turn the instrument on while
holding down the D2 key on the keyboard.
See page 41 for details.
No sound will be output from the built-in
speakers when headphones are connected.
w[PITCH BEND] lever
For smoothly varying the pitch of the instrument. The pitch rises when you move the lever
up; it drops when you move the lever down.
By switching the direction in which note
pitches are changed by the [PITCH BEND]
lever, you can produce guitar-like note bending
effects when playing the reface CS as a keytar.
Inverting the pitch bend range makes the pitch
rise when you move the lever down and drop
when you move the lever up. For details, refer
to “Keyboard Settings” (page 41).
e[VOLUME] slider
For adjusting the instrument’s overall volume. When you move the slider up, the sound
output from the built-in speakers, the OUTPUT [R]/[L/MONO] jacks, and the
[PHONES] jack will become louder.
r[OCTAVE] slider
For transposing the keyboard in units of 1
octave. For example, when set to “+,” the
note C4 will be produced when you play C3
on the keyboard (see the illustration above).
The available settings are “++” (2 octaves
up), “+” (1 octave up), “0” (no change in
pitch), “-” (1 octave down), and “--” (2
octaves down).
tLOOPER section
For operating the Phrase Looper, which can
record and play back multiple, overlaid loop
phrases. Phrases containing a maximum of
2,000 notes or ten minutes at 120 BPM can
