Owner’s Manual

There are two kinds of Voices: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. The following section shows how to edit the different types of Voices and

explains the parameters available. Note that the parameters available for editing differ depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum

Voice).

Normal Voice Edit

When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and

Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements).

These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.

[F1] GENERAL

[SF1] NAME

From this display you can assign the category (sub and main) of the selected Voice, and create a name for the

Voice. The Voice name can contain up to 10 characters. For speciﬁc instructions on naming, see Basic

Operation on page 38.

[SF2] PLY MODE (Play mode)

From this display you can make various settings for the tone generator of this synthesizer, and assign different

Micro Tuning settings.

Mono/Poly Determines whether the Voice is played back monophonically (single notes only) or polyphonically (multiple

simultaneous notes).

Settings: mono, poly

KeyAsgnMode

(Key Assign Mode)

When this is set to “single,” double playback of the same note is prevented. This is useful when two or more

instances of the same note are received nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message.

To allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to “multi.”

Settings: single, multi

M. TuningNo.

(Micro Tuning Number)

Determines the tuning system for the Voice. Normally, this should be set to 00 (Equal temperament); however

additional tuning systems are available for a variety of tuning applications and effects.

Settings: See the Micro Tuning List on page 169.

M. TuningRoot

(Micro Tuning Root)

Determines the root note of the Micro Tuning set above.

Settings: C – B

[SF3] MEQ OFS

(Master EQ Offset)

From this display you can adjust the master (global) EQ settings for the entire Voice. The settings made here

are applied as offsets to the EQ settings (with the exception of “MID”) in the Utility mode, with the following

operation: [VOICE] → [UTILITY] → [F3] VOICE → [SF1] MEQ. Moreover, you can also tweak these settings

directly from the four Knobs on the front panel when the [EQ] button is turned on.

Settings: -64 – 0 – +63

[SF4] PORTA (Portamento)

From this display you can set the Portamento parameters for all parts of the selected performance. Portamento

is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from the ﬁrst note played on the keyboard to the next.

Switch Determines whether Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance using the current Voice or not.

Settings: off, on

Time Determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.

Settings: 0 – 127

Mode Determines how the Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.

Settings: ﬁngered, fulltime

ﬁngered ........... Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one).

fulltime ............. Portamento is always applied.

TimeMode Determines how the Time parameter above affects the Portamento effect.

Settings: rate1, time1, rate2, time2

rate1 ................ Pitch changes at the speciﬁed rate.

time1................ Pitch changes in the speciﬁed time.

rate2 ................ Pitch changes at the speciﬁed rate within an octave.

time2................ Pitch changes at the speciﬁed rate within an octave.

LegatoSlope Determines the speed of the attack of legato notes, when Switch above is set to on and Mono/Poly is set to

mono. (Legato notes “overlap” each other, the next being played before the previous is released.) The higher

the value, the slower the attack rate.

Settings: 0 – 7
