Editing the Tone Parameters
You can edit tone parameters such as the volume and
reverb for a regular tone, and save your settings in a
FAVORITE memory location (p. 10).
* You can’t edit the tone parameters of a special tone.
1. Select the regular tone whose tone parameters
you want to edit (p. 9).
2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the TONE
button of the tone you selected in step 1 (i.e., the
TONE button that’s lit).
The parameter name (PS ) will blink in the display, and
then its value (oFF or oN) will appear.
3. Continue holding down the [SHIFT] button, and
press the same TONE button to switch parameters.
The parameters will switch from top to bottom of the
“Parameter” column in the following table.
* Don’t release your nger from the [SHIFT] button while
making this setting.
Parameter Value Explanation
PS
OFF, ON
Portamento Switch
Portamento is an eect that creates a
smooth change in pitch from one note
to the next.
PtN
0–127
Portamento Time
This species the time over which
the pitch will change when using
portamento. Higher values will lengthen
the time over which the pitch will reach
the next note.
uoL
0–127
Volume
This species the volume of the tone.
rEu
0–127
Reverb
This eect adds the reverberation that
is characteristic of a performance in a
large hall. Higher values produce deeper
reverberation.
rEL
-64–63
Release Time (*1)
This adjusts the time from note-o
(i.e., when you release the key) until
the sound disappears. Higher values
produce a longer release time.
At
-64–63
Attack Time (*1)
This adjusts the sharpness (speed) at
which the sound begins. Higher values
produce a more gentle attack.
CUt
-64–63
Cuto (*1)
Increasing the cuto value will make
the sound harder (brighter); decreasing
it will make the sound more mellow
(darker). Use this parameter to make
adjustments if the sound is too mued
or too bright.
rES
-64–63
Resonance (*1)
Increasing the resonance value will
produce a distinctive tonal character
that is typical of a synthesizer. If you
want to emphasize the eect of
resonance, it’s a good idea to slightly
lower the cuto.
*1 The values you specify here are an adjustment relative to the value
assigned by each tone. If this value is set to 0, the parameter will be as
specied by the tone’s own settings.
4. When the parameter value appears, continue
holding down the [SHIFT] button and use the
[INC/+] / [DEC/–] buttons to edit the value.
MEMO
You can make the value change more quickly by
holding down the [INC/+] / [DEC/–] button. If you want
the value to change even faster, hold down the button
and press the other button as well.
Even while editing the value, you can play the keyboard
to hear the result.
5. Release the [SHIFT] button.
* If you select a dierent sound or turn o the Lucina
AX-09’s power in this state, the changes you made will
be lost. If you want to keep your changes, you must store
them in a FAVORITE memory location as follows.
6. Press the [WRITE] button.
The [WRITE] button will blink.
7. Press the FAVORITE [A] button or [B] button to
select a bank.
8. Press one of the TONE [1]–[6] buttons to select the
memory location in which you’ll store the settings.
When the [WRITE] button goes out, the settings have been
stored.
