Chapter 5. Creating Patches
TONE DELAY
fig.05-45
This produces a time delay between the moment a key is
pressed (or released), and the moment the Tone actually
begins to sound. You can also make settings that shift the
timing at which each Tone is sounded. This differs from the
Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound
qualities of the delayed Tones and changing the pitch for
each Tone, you can also perform arpeggio-like passages just
by pressing one key.
In addition, you can synchronize the tempo that specifies the
Tone Delay time and the tempo set in a connected sequencer
(external tempo).
• If you are not going to use Tone Delay, set the Mode
parameter (discussed below) to NORMAL and Time
parameter to 0.
• When the Type parameter (PATCH/COMMON/
STRUCT) has a setting of Type 2–10, the outputs of
Tones 1 and 2 will be combined with Tone 2, and the
outputs of Tones 3 and 4 will be combined with Tone 4.
For this reason, Tone 1 will follow the settings of Tone 2,
and Tone 3 will follow the settings of Tone 4 (p. 73).
Mode (Tone Delay Mode)
Selects the type of tone delay.
fig.05-46.e
NORMAL: The Tone begins to play after the time specified in
the Time parameter has elapsed.
fig.05-47.e
HOLD: Although the Tone begins to play after the time
specified in the Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is
released before the time specified in the Time parameter has
elapsed, the Tone is not played.
fig.05-48.e
KEY-OFF-NORMAL: Rather than being played while the key
is pressed, the Tone begins to play once the period of time
specified in the Time parameter has elapsed after release of
the key. This is effective in situations such as when
simulating noises from guitars and other instruments.
fig.05-49.e
KEY-OFF-DECAY: Rather than being played while the key is
pressed, the Tone begins to play as soon as the period of time
specified for the Time parameter has elapsed after release of
the key. Here, however, changes in the TVA Envelope begin
while the key is pressed, which in many cases means that
only the sound from the release portion of the envelope is
heard.
fig.05-50.e
If you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type
sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the
key is not released), selecting KEY-OFF-NORMAL or
KEY-OFF-DECAY may result in no sound being heard.
