Creating a Patch
Creating a Patch
Mode (Portamento Mode)
Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be
applied.
Value
NORMAL:
Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO:
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato
(i.e., when you press the next key before releasing the previous key).
Type (Portamento Type)
Specifies the type of portamento effect.
Value
RATE:
The time it takes will depend on the distance between the
two pitches.
TIME:
The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far apart
in pitch the notes are.
Time (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.
Value:
0–127
Time Velo Sens (Portamento Time Velocity
Sensitivity)
This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the portamento Time. If you
want portamento Time to be speeded up for strongly played notes,
set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed
down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Value:
-63– +63
Mono/Poly
Specifies whether the patch will play monophonically or
polyphonically. The monophonic setting is effective when playing a
solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.
Value
:
Only the last-played note will sound.
:
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato (Legato Switch)
Legato is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to
monophonic. This setting specifies whether the Legato function will
be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value:
OFF, ON
With the Legato Switch parameter “ON,” pressing a key while
continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change
pitch to the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all
the while. 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.
D Beam/Bender
fig.03-08_50
Octave Shift
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in units of an
octave (+/-3 octaves).
Value:
-3– +3
D Beam (D Beam Type)
◆
Specifies the effect that will be controlled by the D Beam controller.
Value
OFF:
The D Beam controller will not be used.
Time Trip:
The D Beam controller will control the Time Trip effect.
Time:
The D Beam controller will control the Time Control effect.
Pitch:
The D Beam controller will control the Pitch Control effect.
Assignable:
The D Beam controller will control the effect specified
for each patch.
For details on how to specify the effect that will be controlled
when “Assignable” is selected, refer to
“Matrix Ctrl”
(p. 38).
The level meters at both sides of “D Beam” in the screen show
the state of response as you move your hand closer to the D
Beam controller.
Bend Range Up (Pitch Bend Range Up)
Specifies the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch
Bend lever is all the way right. For example, if this parameter is set to
“12,” the pitch will rise one octave when the pitch bend lever is
moved to the right-most position.
Value:
0–48
Portamento
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from
the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying
portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter is monophonic,
you can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or
similar instrument.
