Receive Note Off
Use this parameter to enable/disable the reception of the
Note Off (Key Off) message.
Yes The sound will stop as soon as you release the
key.
No The sound will continue playing up to the end
of the sample. The Note Off message is
ignored.
Warning: If the “Single Trigger” parameter is set
to No, and the sound is looped, the sound will
play endlessly. In an “emergency” situation, use
the Panic command (see “START/STOP” on
page 15).
Exclusive Group
Exclusive Groups are sets of mutually exclusive keys, stopping
each other. For example, if the Open Hi-Hat and Closed Hi-
Hat are assigned the same Exclusive Group, playing an Open
Hi-Hat will stop the Closed Hi-Hat playing.
None No Exclusive Group assigned. The selected key
will not be stopped by any other key.
1…127 Exclusive Groups assigned to the selected key.
When you play this key, all other keys assigned
to the same Exclusive Group will be stopped,
and this key will be stopped by other keys
assigned to the same Exclusive Group.
Pan
This parameter sets the position in the stereo panorama of
the selected key.
Send FX1
This parameter sets the FX1 send level for of the selected key.
Send FX2
This parameter sets the FX2 send level for of the selected key.
PAGE 3 - PITCH
Here you can make pitch settings for each oscillator. These
settings specify how keyboard location will affect the pitch of
each oscillator, and select the controllers that will affect the
oscillator pitch and specify the depth of control. You can also
specify the amount of pitch change produced by the Pitch EG
and by LFO1 and LFO2, switch portamento on/off and spec-
ify how it will apply.
Selected
Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alter-
natively, you can select oscillators using the F1-F4 buttons.
Slope
Normally you will leave this parameter at +1.0. Positive (+)
values will cause the pitch to rise as you play higher notes,
and negative (–) values will cause the pitch to fall as you play
higher notes.
With a value of 0, there will be no change in pitch, and the C4
pitch will sound regardless of the keyboard location you play.
The diagram shows how the Pitch Slope and pitch are related:
-1.0…+2.0 Pitch slope value.
JS (+X)
This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the
joystick is moved all the way to the right. A setting of 12 pro-
duces 1 octave of change.
For example if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all
the way to the right, the pitch will rise one octave above the
original pitch.
-60…+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.
JS (X)
This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the
joystick is moved all the way to the left. A setting of 12 pro-
duces 1 octave of change.
For example, if you set this to -60 and move the joystick all
the way to the left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the
original pitch. This can be used to simulate the downward
swoops that a guitarist produces using the tremolo arm.
-60…+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.
Pitch modulation
AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)
This parameter selects the source that will modulate the pitch
of the selected oscillator. See “AMS (Alternate Modulation
Source) list” on page 123.
Intensity
This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect
produced by “AMS”. With a setting of 0, no modulation will
be applied. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change up to
one octave.
For example, if you set “AMS” to Joystick +Y and push the
joystick, the pitch will rise if this parameter is set to a positive
(+) value, or fall if this parameter is set to a negative (–)
value. The range is a maximum of one octave.
-12.00…+12.00
Parameter value.
Pitch EG modulation
EG Intensity
This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the mod-
ulation that the pitch EG specified on “Page 6 - Pitch EG” will
apply to the pitch. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will
change a maximum of ±1 octave.
-12.00…+12.00
