Creating a Multitimbre
Mono/Poly (Part Mono/Poly)
Set this parameter to “MON” when the patch assigned to the part is
to be played monophonically, or to “POL” when the patch is to be
played polyphonically. When using the setting of the patch assigned
to each part (p. 47), set this to “PAT.”
Value: MON, POL, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Legato Switch (Part Legato Switch)
You can add legato when performing monophonically. Legato is a
playing style in which the spaces between notes are smoothed,
creating a flowing feel with no borders between the notes. This
creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when
you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques
used by a guitarist.
Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to use the Legato feature
and “OFF” when you don’t. When using the setting of the patch
assigned to each part (p. 48), set this to “PAT.”
Value: OFF, ON, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Pitch Bend Range (Part Pitch Bend Range)
Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (2 octaves) that
will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The amount of
change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left
and right sides. When using the setting of the patch assigned to each
part (p. 49), set this to “PAT.”
Value: 0–24, PAT
Portamento Switch (Part Portamento Switch)
Specify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this parameter
“ON” when you want to apply Portamento and “OFF” when you
don’t. When using the setting of the patch assigned to each part (p.
48), set this to “PAT.”
Value: OFF, ON, PAT
Portamento Time (Part Portamento Time)
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the
pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time. When using the setting of the patch
assigned to each part (p. 49), set this to “PAT.”
Value: 0–127, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Cutoff Offset (Part Cutoff Offset)
Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the patch or rhythm set assigned to
a part.
Value: -64– +63
Patches also have a Cutoff Offset setting (p. 47). The final Cutoff
frequency value is the sum of the tone Cutoff Frequency value
and the patch and part Cutoff Frequency Offset values. If the
tone’s cutoff frequency is already set to “127” (maximum), there
will be no change produced by setting the Cutoff Frequency
Offset to a positive value.
Resonance Offset (Part Resonance Offset)
Adjusts the Resonance for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
Value: -64– +63
Patches also have a Resonance Offset setting (p. 47). The final
Resonance value is the sum of the tone Resonance value and the
patch and part Resonance Offset values. If the tone’s resonance is
already set to “127” (maximum), there will be no change
produced by setting the resonance offset to a positive value.
Attack Time Offset (Part Attack Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Attack Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64– +63
Patches also contain the Attack Time Offset setting (p. 48). The
final TVA Envelope attack time value is therefore the sum of the
tone’s TVA Envelope Time 1 setting, the patch’s Attack Time
Offset, and the part’s Attack Time Offset. If the tone’s Time 1
parameter is already set to “127” (maximum), there will be no
change produced by setting the Attack Time Offset to a positive
value.
Release Time Offset (Part Release Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Release Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64– +63
Patches also contain a Release Time Offset setting (p. 48). The
final TVA Envelope release time value is therefore the sum of the
tone’s TVA Envelope Time 4 setting, the patch’s Release Time
Offset, and the part’s Release Time Offset. If the tone’s Time 4
parameter is set to “127” (maximum), there will be no change in
the Release Time Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.
Decay Time Offset (Part Decay Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Decay Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64– +63
