Creating a Performance
Octave Shift (Part Octave Shift)
Adjusts the pitch of the parts sound up or down in units of an
octave (+/-3 octaves).
Value: -3 +3
Note that when a rhythm set is assigned to a part, if the Octave
Shift parameter is set, the rhythm tone that is played also
changes.
Vel Sens Offset (Part Velocity Sensitivity
Offset)
This changes the volume and cutoff frequency for each part
according to the velocity with which the keys are pressed. If you
want strongly played notes to raise the volume/cutoff frequency, set
this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played
notes to lower the volume/cutoff frequency, use negative (-)
settings. Set Velocity Sensitivity to 0 when you want sounds
played at a fixed volume and cutoff frequency, regardless of the
force with which the keys are played.
Value: -63 +63
Patches also contain a Velocity Sensitivity Offset setting (p. 48).
The ultimate Velocity Sensitivity Offset value is the sum of the
parts and the patchs Velocity Sensitivity Offsets. Accordingly,
if the patchs Velocity Sensitivity Offset parameter is set to 127
(maximum), there will be no change in the parts Velocity
Sensitivity Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.
Key Fade Lower (Part Keyboard Fade Width
Lower)
This determines what will happen to the parts level when a note
thats lower than the parts specified keyboard range is played.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you
dont want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard
range is played, set this parameter to 0.
Value: 0127
Key Range Lower (
Part
Keyboard Range
Lower)
Specifies the lowest note that the tone will sound for each part.
Value: C-1UPPER
Key Range Upper (
Part
Keyboard Range
Upper)
Specifies the highest note that the tone will sound for each part.
Value: LOWERG9
When the Key Range (p. 58) is set for each individual tone in a
patch, sounds are produced in the range where the Key Range of
each tone and the Key Range for the part overlap.
fig.05-10.e
If you attempt to raise the lower key higher than the upper key,
or to lower the upper key below the lower key, the other value
will be automatically modified to the same setting.
Key Fade Upper (Part Keyboard Fade Width
Upper)
This determines what will happen to the parts level when a note
thats higher than the parts specified keyboard range is played.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you
dont want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard
range is played, set this parameter to 0.
Value: 0127
fig.Key Range.e
Voice Reserve
This setting specifies the number of voices that will be reserved for
each part when more than 64 voices are played simultaneously.
Value: 063, FUL
It is not possible for the settings of all parts to total an amount
greater than 64. The remaining number of available voices will
be displayed at (rest= ). Pay attention to this readout as you
make set the Voice Reserve parameter.
