Editing the Tones (TONE)
Parameter List (MODELING TONE)
Group Parameter Value Description
TONE
SWITCH OFF, ON Turns the tone on/o. Tones turned “OFF” will not sound (i.e., they are muted).
TONE CATEGORY
If GUITAR<->BASS is set to “GUITAR” (p.9)
E.GTR,
AC,
E.BASS,
SYNTH
Selects the category (group) of tones.
If GUITAR<->BASS is set to “BASS” (p.9)
E.BASS,
SYNTH,
E.GTR
Selects the category (group) of tones.
TONE NUMBER 001–
Selects the tone. For an explanation, refer to the following table (TONE CATEGORY:
E.GTR–SYNTH).
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the tone.
STRING LEVEL1–6 0–100
Adjusts the volume of each string.
For the PCM1, PCM2, and MODELING tones, you can specify a value of “0” for each
string that you don’t want to be sounded for that tone; this allows you to create “split”
setups.
PITCH
PITCH SHIFT -24–+24 Adjusts the pitch of the tone (in semitone steps, +/-2 octaves).
PITCH FINE -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of the tone (in one cent steps; equivalent to 1/100 semitone).
12STR
12STR SW OFF/ON
Turn this on if you want to produce the sound of a 12-string guitar. The sound of a
conventional 6-string guitar will be transformed to the sound of a 12-string guitar
with its supplementary strings.
DIRECT LEVEL 0–100 Species the volume of the main strings.
SHIFT1–6 -24–+24
Adjusts the pitch dierence of each
supplementary string relative to
the corresponding main string, in
semitone steps.
* On a conventional 12-string guitar,
supplementary strings 1 and 2 are tuned
to the same pitch (SHIFT = 0) as the corre-
sponding main string, and supplementary
strings 3–6 are tuned one octave higher
(SHIFT = +12) than the corresponding
main string. Slightly raising each string’s
FINE setting will produce a more realistic
12-string guitar tone.
FINE1–6 -50–+50
Adjusts the pitch of each
supplementary string in cents
(1/100 semitone steps).
* 12STR cannot be used with any of the following settings (the parameters will not be shown).
