Chapter 6. Creating Rhythm Sets
If NO SUSTAIN is selected for Envelope Mode
parameter (RHYTHM/CONTROL/CONTROL), this
setting will have no effect.
Modifying Waveform of a
Rhythm Tone (WAVE)
This set of parameters allows you to select the waveform that
serves as the basis for the currently selected Rhythm Tone
(percussion instrument), apply effects to the waveform, and
set its pitch.
With Rhythm Tones, sounds are created by combining up to
four Waves (eight for stereo).
TONE NAME (Rhythm Tone Name)
fig.06-11
You can assign a name to the Rhythm Tone of up to 12
characters.
For details on assigning names, refer to “Assigning a
Name” (p. 28).
WMT WAVE

fig.06-13
Group (Wave Group)
Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the
Rhythm Tone.
INT: Waveforms stored in internal memory
XP-A–D: Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board
installed in EXP A–D slots.
You cannot select a waveform group of a Wave
Expansion Board that is not installed.
Number (Wave Number)
This selects the Waves comprising the Rhythm Tone. Along
with the Wave number, the Wave name appears at the right
of the display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified.
When in stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
The Wave numbers can be divided and set in the first
two and last two digits.
Gain (Wave Gain)
Specifies the gain (amplitude) of the waveform. The value
changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles
the waveform’s gain.
Level (Wave Level)
You can set the volume of the waveform.
The volume level of the overall Rhythm Tone is set with
the Level parameter (RHYTHM/TVA/TVA) (p. 103); the
volume levels of the entire Rhythm Set is set with the
Level parameter (RHYTHM/COMMON/RHYTHM
COMMON) (p. 96).
Sw (Wave Switch)
This setting determines whether the Rhythm Tone’s
constituent Waves are played (ON) or not (OFF). In order to
make best use of the available number of simultaneous
voices, unused waveforms should be turned off.
Tempo Sync (Wave Tempo Sync)
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock
(tempo), set this to ON. This is valid only when an optional
Wave Expansion Board, such as “SR-JV80-10:
BASS&DRUMS,” is installed, and you have selected a Tone
which uses a waveform that displays tempo (BPM). For
details, refer to “Playing Phrase Loops in Sync with the
System Tempo” (p. 201).
When the Tempo Sync parameter is set to ON, settings
related to Pitch (p. 100) and FXM (p. 100) are disabled.
Tips on Creating a Rhythm Tone
The Waves for the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, toms, and
other percussion instruments are each assigned to one
Rhythm Tone. When adding 3D effects to the sound, make
the Pan settings for each Rhythm Tone individually.
