Tone-Related Settings
PATCH COMMON (Settings Common to the Entire Patch)
Parameter Value Description
TONE SWITCH OFF, ON Here’s how to turn on the Tones that you want to hear in a Patch. You can also use the on/off tech-
nique described in this section to audition an individual Tone by turning off all the other Tones in a
Patch.
TONE SELECT OFF, ON Selects the Tone to be edited.
Parameter Value Description

You can give a Patch a name of up to 12 characters. When using the XV editor,
click on the left side to name the Tone.
CATEGORY
(Patch Category)
PIANO, KEY&ORG,
GTR/BS, OCH/BRS,
SYN/PAD,
ETHNIC, RHY&SFX
Specifies the type, or “category” of the Patch. The Patch Finder uses this setting.
LEVEL
(Patch Level)
0–127 Specifies the volume of the Patch.
* You can specify the level of each Tone in a Patch using the Tone Level parameter
(TVA p. 59).
PAN
(Patch Pan)
L64–63R Sets the stereo position of the Patch. L64 pans the Patch all the way to the left, 0
is center and 63R pans it hard right.
* You can specify the pan setting for each Tone in a Patch using the Tone Pan param-
eter (TVA p. 60).
* While each Tone in a Patch has its own Pan position, the Patch pan setting shifts the
entire Patch—including all of its Tones—leftward or rightward
OUTPUT ASSIGN MFX, A, 1, 2, TONE Specifies the output destination for the Patch.
MFX: Sends the Patch into the Multi-Effects. The output destination is deter-
mined by the Multi-Effects output setting.
A: Output from OUTPUT.
1: Output from L.
2: Output from R.
TONE: Sends each Tone in the Patch to its programmed output destination.
OCTAVE SHIFT -3–+3 Sets the pitch of the Patch in units of an octave.
COARSE TUNE -48–+48 Adjusts the pitch of all of the Patch’s Tones simultaneously in semitone steps
over a range of +/-4 octaves.
FINE TUNE -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of all of the Patch’s Tones simultaneously in 1-cent steps (1/
100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitones up or down.
STRETCH TUNE DEPTH OFF, 1, 2, 3 This setting allows you to apply “stretch tuning” to the Patch. Acoustic pianos
typically use stretch tuning, with their lower range slightly flatter and their
higher range slightly sharper than the actual mathematical tuning ratios dic-
tate. Stretch is therefore useful when programming a Patch intended to sound
like a real piano. With a setting of OFF, the Patch’s tuning is equal tempera-
ment. A setting of 3 produces the greatest difference in the pitch of the low and
high ranges. This diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal tempera-
ment that occurs in the low and high ranges. Stretch has a subtle effect on the
way in which chords resonate.
