Transposing the Keyboard in
Octave Units (Octave Shift)
The Octave Shift function transposes the pitch of the keyboard in 1
octave units (-3– +3 octaves).
For playing a bass part more easily using your right hand, transpose
the keyboard down by 1 or 2 octaves.
1. Press [+OCT] or [-OCT] and its indicator will light.
Pressing [+OCT] once will raise the keyboard 1 octave.
Pressing [-OCT] once will lower the keyboard 1 octave.
The specified Octave Shift setting will be shown in the “Oct”
indication of PATCH PLAY screen.
fig.02-05
Alternatively, you can move the cursor to “Oct” in the PATCH
PLAY screen and turn the VALUE dial or use [INC/+] [DEC/-]
to make the setting. You can also do this by dragging on the
touch screen.
There is a single Octave Shift setting (Setup parameter) for the
entire V-Synth. The changed setting will be remembered even if
you switch patches.
2. To turn off the Octave Shift function, press the other button
[+OCT] or [-OCT] of that pressed in step 1. The indicator will
go off.
Playing Single Notes (Mono)
When using a patch for a naturally monophonic instrument such as
sax or flute, it is effective to play in mono.
1. Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).
2. At the bottom of the screen, touch <Common>.
3. In the left side of the screen, touch the <General> tab.
The Patch Edit Com General screen appears.

4. In the “Mono/Poly” field, touch < >.
Now you can play in mono mode.
Creating Smooth Pitch Changes
(Portamento)
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the
first-played key to the next-played key. By applying portamento
when Mono mode is selected (see the preceding item), you can
simulate performance effects such as slurring on a violin.
1. Access the PATCH Edit Com General screen (p. 21).
fig.02-07_50
2. In the “Portamento” field, touch the on/off switch to turn it
“ON.”
You’re ready to play portamento.
3. When you want to change the portamento setting, edit the
following parameters in the screen of step 2.
Mode (Portamento Mode), Type (Portamento Type), Time
(Portamento Time), Time Velo Sens (Portamento Time Velocity
Sens)
See (p. 37) for each parameter’s functions.
