Creating a Multitimbre
Mono/Poly (Part Mono/Poly)
Set this parameter to MON when the patch assigned to the part is
to be played monophonically, or to POL when the patch is to be
played polyphonically. When using the setting of the patch assigned
to each part (p. 47), set this to PAT.
Value: MON, POL, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Legato Switch (Part Legato Switch)
You can add legato when performing monophonically. Legato is a
playing style in which the spaces between notes are smoothed,
creating a flowing feel with no borders between the notes. This
creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when
you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques
used by a guitarist.
Turn this parameter ON when you want to use the Legato feature
and OFF when you dont. When using the setting of the patch
assigned to each part (p. 48), set this to PAT.
Value: OFF, ON, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Pitch Bend Range (Part Pitch Bend Range)
Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (2 octaves) that
will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The amount of
change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left
and right sides. When using the setting of the patch assigned to each
part (p. 49), set this to PAT.
Value: 024, PAT
Portamento Switch (Part Portamento Switch)
Specify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this parameter
ON when you want to apply Portamento and OFF when you
dont. When using the setting of the patch assigned to each part (p.
48), set this to PAT.
Value: OFF, ON, PAT
Portamento Time (Part Portamento Time)
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the
pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time. When using the setting of the patch
assigned to each part (p. 49), set this to PAT.
Value: 0127, PAT
For the part to which the rhythm set is assigned, this setting is
ignored.
Cutoff Offset (Part Cutoff Offset)
Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the patch or rhythm set assigned to
a part.
Value: -64 +63
Patches also have a Cutoff Offset setting (p. 47). The final Cutoff
frequency value is the sum of the tone Cutoff Frequency value
and the patch and part Cutoff Frequency Offset values. If the
tones cutoff frequency is already set to 127 (maximum), there
will be no change produced by setting the Cutoff Frequency
Offset to a positive value.
Resonance Offset (Part Resonance Offset)
Adjusts the Resonance for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
Value: -64 +63
Patches also have a Resonance Offset setting (p. 47). The final
Resonance value is the sum of the tone Resonance value and the
patch and part Resonance Offset values. If the tones resonance is
already set to 127 (maximum), there will be no change
produced by setting the resonance offset to a positive value.
Attack Time Offset (Part Attack Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Attack Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64 +63
Patches also contain the Attack Time Offset setting (p. 48). The
final TVA Envelope attack time value is therefore the sum of the
tones TVA Envelope Time 1 setting, the patchs Attack Time
Offset, and the parts Attack Time Offset. If the tones Time 1
parameter is already set to 127 (maximum), there will be no
change produced by setting the Attack Time Offset to a positive
value.
Release Time Offset (Part Release Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Release Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64 +63
Patches also contain a Release Time Offset setting (p. 48). The
final TVA Envelope release time value is therefore the sum of the
tones TVA Envelope Time 4 setting, the patchs Release Time
Offset, and the parts Release Time Offset. If the tones Time 4
parameter is set to 127 (maximum), there will be no change in
the Release Time Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.
Decay Time Offset (Part Decay Time Offset)
Adjusts the TVA Envelope Decay Time for the patch or rhythm set
assigned to a part.
Value: -64 +63
