Creating a Rhythm Set
Wave No. (L) (Wave Number (L))
Wave No. (R) (Wave Number (R))
This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. Along with the
Wave number, the Wave name appears at the lower part of the
display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in
stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
Value: ----, 1–1083
Wave Gain
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6
dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
Value: -6, 0, +6, +12
FXM Switch
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
FXM Color
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher
settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
Value: 1–4
FXM Depth
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
Value: 0–16
Tempo Sync (Wave Tempo Sync)
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo),
set this to “ON.” This is valid only when an optional Wave
Expansion Board, such as “SR-JV80-10: BASS&DRUMS,” is installed,
and you have selected a tone which uses a waveform that displays
tempo (BPM).
Value: OFF, ON
When the Tempo Sync parameter is set to “ON,” settings related
to Pitch (p. 79) and FXM (p. 78) are disabled.
Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in semitone
steps (+/-4 octaves).
Value: -48– +48
The Coarse Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone
Coarse parameter (RHYTHM/Pitch) (p. 79).
Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in 1-cent
steps (+/-50 cents).
Value: -50– +50
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The Fine Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Fine
Tune parameter (RHYTHM/Pitch) (p. 79).
Wave Pan
This specifies the pan of the waveform. “L64” is far left, “0” is center,
and “63R” is far right.
Value: L64–0–63R
The pan of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Pan
parameter (RHYTHM/TVA) (p. 82).
Rnd Pan Sw (Random Pan Switch)
Use this setting to cause the waveform’s panning to change
randomly each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
The range of the panning change is set by the Rnd Pan Depth
parameter (RHYTHM/TVA) (p. 82).
Alter Pan Sw (Alternate Pan Switch)
This setting causes panning of the waveform to be alternated
between left and right each time a key is pressed. Set Alternate Pan
Switch to “ON” to pan the Wave according to the Alter Pan Depth
parameter (RHYTHM/TVA) (p. 82) settings, or to “REV” when you
want the panning reversed. If you do not want the panning to
change each time a key is pressed, set this to “OFF.”
Range : OFF, ON, REV
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform
to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
