Creating a Performance
SOLO
(Solo Part Select)
Refer to the Performance Common column
Parameter Value Description
TYPE
(Part Type)
PAT, RHY Select the type of sound the Part plays.
GROUP
(Part Group)
USER, PR-A–D, GM,
EXP-A, EXP-B
Chooses the group (Bank) to which the desired Patch or Rhythm Set belongs.
* It is not possible to choose EXP-A, EXP-B unless a wave expansion board is insert-
ed into the corresponding slot. (p. 105)
NUMBER
(Patch/Rhythm Set Number)
Chooses the Rhythm set number to which the desired Patch or Rhythm Set be-
longs.
LEVEL
(Part Level)
0–127 Sets the volume of the Part. This setting’s main purpose is to adjust the volume
balance between Parts.
PAN
(Part Pan)
L64–63R Specifies the stereo position of the Part’s sound. L64 pans the sound hard left,
0 puts it dead-center and 63R pans it hard right.
VEL SENS
(Part Velocity Sensitivity)
-63–+63 Raises or lowers the VELOCITY V-Cutoff and the TVA V-Sens settings for
each of the Tones in the Part’s sound.
OCT SHIFT
(Part Octave Shift)
-3–+3 Adjusts the pitch of the Part’s sound up or down in units of an octave (+/-3
octaves).
COARSE TUNE
(Part Coarse Tune)
-48–+48 Adjusts the pitch of the Part’s sound up or down in semitone steps over a
range of +/-4 octaves.
FINE TUNE
(Part Fine Tune)
-50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of the Part’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (1/100th of a
semitone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.
Parameter Value Description
PB RANGE
(Part Pitch Bend Range)
0–24, PAT Specifies the amount of pitch change that occurs when you move the Pitch Bend Le-
ver. This overrides the sound’s own pitch-bend settings. The amount of pitch change
downward or upward that occurs when the lever is moved is the same for both its left
and right directions (or down and up on some MIDI controllers). When PATCH is
chosen, the bend range settings for the assigned Patch take effect.
MONO/POLY
(Part Mono/Poly)
MONO, POLY, PAT Sets how the Patch’s notes play. The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo
instrument Patch such as sax or flute.
MONO: Only one note sounds at a time.
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
PAT: The Part uses the Patch’s Mono/Poly setting.
LEGATO
(Part Legato Switch)
OFF, ON, PAT Turn this parameter ON when you want to use the Legato feature and OFF when you
don’t. Legato is a feature that works only when the Key Assign Mode is MONO. When
Legato is ON, pressing one key when another is already pressed causes the currently
playing note’s pitch to change to that of the newly pressed key while continuing to
sound. This can be effective when you wish to simulate performance techniques such
as a guitarist’s hammering on and pulling off strings. When PAT is selected, the
Patch’s own settings take effect.
PORTAMENT SW
(Part Portamento Switch)
OFF, ON, PAT Specifies whether the portamento effect is applied (ON) or not (OFF). When PAT is se-
lected, the settings for the assigned Patch take effect.
[What is Portamento?]
Portamento is an effect that smoothly changes the pitch from the first-played key to
the next-played key. When Key Assign is MONO, applying portamento produces an
effect similar to the slide performance technique of a violinist. Portamento can also be
applied when Key Assign is polyphonic (POLY).
PORTAMENT TIME
(Part Portamento Time)
0–127, PAT Specifies the time over which the pitch changes. Higher settings cause the pitch
change to the next note to take more time. When PAT is chosen, the settings for the
assigned Patch take effect.
VIBRATO RATE
(Part Vibrato Rate)
-64–+63 Adjusts the vibrato speed (the rate at which the pitch is modulated). The pitch will be
modulated more rapidly for higher settings and more slowly with lower settings.
VIBRATO DEPTH
(Part Vibrato Depth)
-64–+63 Adjusts the depth of the vibrato effect (the depth at which the pitch is modulated). The
pitch will be modulated more greatly for higher settings, and less with lower settings.
VIBRATO DELAY
(Part Vibrato Delay)
-64–+63 Adjusts the delay time until the vibrato (pitch modulation) effect begins. Higher set-
tings will produce a longer delay time before vibrato begins, while lower settings pro-
duce a shorter time.
