Voice Mode
[F5]: NAME
Lets you give a name to the wave with up to eight
characters. You can also put a category name to which
the current wave belongs by moving the cursor to the
left of the wave name and using the [INC]/[DEC] or
the Data Dial to select a two-letter category name.
The method for naming a wave and its category is the
same as that for a Voice. For more information, see page
79.
[F6]: SMPL (Sample)
Provides the settings related to playback for the
samples that make up a wave. You can make settings
for each layer.
Layer
Selects the layer number that will be assigned with a
sample. Once a layer number is selected, the
parameter settings of the selected layer will be
displayed. By switching among the layer numbers,
you can make settings for each sample in all layers.
Settings: 1~128 (Differs depending on the total number
of layers used for a wave.)
“Layer” is also found in the same position of the [F7]:
MIX display and the [F8]: ZONE display.
Sample Bank
Selects the desired sample bank that contains the
sample that you want to use. A different bank can be
selected for each layer.
Settings: PRE (Preset), DRAM (including SIMM), FLS
(Flash Memory)
“FLS” and its sample number can also be selected,
though, the selection is ineffective unless you install the
optional EXFLM1s in the instrument.
“Sample Bank” is also found in the same position of the
[F7]: MIX display and the [F8]: ZONE display.
Sample Number
Selects the desired sample number from the sample
bank. When the sample number is selected, its name
and category are displayed to the right of the
number. A different sample number can be selected
for each layer.
Settings: 0001~1024
“Sample Number” is also found in the same position of
the [F7]: MIX display and the [F8]: ZONE display.
Zone Graphical Display
The zone (the keyboard/velocity range within which
a sample is played) of the currently selected layer
can be confirmed visually. For the information how
to set a zone, see page 153.
StartOfs (Start Offset)
Sets the offset value for the Start point of the sample
playback. The value set here will increase or
decrease the Start point for each sample.
Settings: 0~65535
LpLength (Loop Length)
Sets the offset value for the loop length of the sample
loop playback. The value set here will increase or
decrease the loop length for each sample.
Settings: 0~65535
SmplPlay (Sample Play)
Switches how the sample is played back. There are
five choices: “FwdLp,” “FwdLpEx,” “FwdNoLP,”
“RevNoLp” or “default.”
Settings:
FwdLp:
While a key is pressed (held down), the sample playback
begins from the Start point, moves to the Top point and
then repeats continuously from the Top point to the End
point.
FwdLpEx:
This is the same as “FwdLp” as long as the key is held.
However, when you release your finger from the keyboard,
the Ex5/5R/7 cancels the loop playback, goes beyond the
End point, and plays the rest of the sample data, then stops
at the data end.
FwdNoLp:
Each time a key is played, the sample will play back one
time from the Start point to the End point.
RevNoLp:
Each time a key is played, the sample will play back in
reverse one time, from the End point to the Start point.
default:
Follows the original setting made in the Sample Edit mode.
