Making Detailed Settings for Tones
Choose the Part and the Tone for which you want to make settings.
This sets the depth of the reverb and chorus effects.
When this value is set to “0,” no reverb or chorus effect is
applied when the REVERB [DEPTH] or CHORUS [DEPTH]
knob is turned.
The manner in which the effect is applied will differ depending
on the settings for MFX Source (p. 86) and MFX1 Dest (p. 87).
When MFX1 Dest is set to ALL PART
The Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for the part selected for
MFX Source applies to all parts. However, when the MFX
Source is set to FIXED, the Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for
UPPER 1 applies to all parts.
When MFX1 Dest is set to SAME MFX
The Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for the part selected for
MFX Source applies to parts assigned the same MFX Type as
the part selected for MFX Source.
This sets the multi-effect applied to the tone.
The MFX selected here may not be applied with certain MFX
Source and MFX Dest settings. For details, refer to
“MFX
Source”
(p. 86),
“MFX Dest”
(p. 87).
Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO).
The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone
such as sax or flute.
Additionally, when this is set to “MONO LEGATO,” you can have
monophonic performances played legato. 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.
This sets the pitch of the tone.
1 cent = 1/100 semitone
With some Tones, there may be ranges in which the pitch does
not change as intended.
Portamento is a function that causes the pitch to change smoothly
from one note to the next note played.
With the Mono/Poly parameter set to MONO, portamento is
especially effective when simulating playing techniques such as a
violin glissandos.
The Portamento Time setting determines the time for the change in
pitch when the portamento effect is applied to the sound. Higher
settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more
time.
