The D-Beam can be made to emulate to sound of a Theramin (a unique instrument that is played by waving your hands near two metal antennas) by using the Adlib control type. Use the following procedure:

0. Press PATCH in the DISPLAY section.
1. Press PART SELECT and use the PART SELECT buttons to select Part 1.
2. Use the VALUE dial to select Patch "P:A054 Sine Tone."
3. Hold the D-BEAM CONTROLLER SELECT button and use the VALUE dial to select "26:Note+Bend [A4]."
4. Press the D-BEAM CONTROLLER ON/OFF button so it is lit. This will activate the D-Beam.
5. Move your hand at various distances over the D-Beam Controller to utilize the Note+Bend effect.
Next, we will improve the sound of our Theramin by increasing the range of the pitch change:

7. Hold EDIT and press KEY PAD 14.
8. Use the PAGE < / > buttons to select "BEND: Bend Down."
9. Use the VALUE dial to set the bend down range to "-48."
10. If desired, press WRITE and save the edited Patch to an empty USER Patch location.
Now, the D-Beam will smoothly change the pitch of Part 1 over a range of five octaves.

Tip: Feel free to try patches other than P:A054 Sine Tone as directed in step 3 on the previous page. For best results, select a sound with long sustain characteristics such as the lead synth patches found in presets P:A000-P:A064.

Tip: Assigning the D-Beam contoller to functions other than the three factory types is a temporary setting that is not stored after you turn off the power.
