8 Alternate Pan
Determines the amount by which the sound is panned
alternately left and right for each note you press, assuming
the pan position set above as center. Higher values
increase the width of the Pan range.
Settings: L64 – C – R63
9 Random Pan
Determines the amount by which the sound of the selected
Element is panned randomly left and right for each note
you press. The Pan setting (above) is used as the Center
Pan position.
Settings: 0 – 127
) Scaling Pan
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically,
their position or octave range) affect the Pan position (set
above), left and right, of the selected Element. At note C3,
the main Pan setting (above) is used for the basic Pan
position. A positive setting will move the pan position
leftward for lower notes and move it rightward for higher
notes. A negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
From this display you can set the Amplitude EG
parameters. Using the AEG, you can control the transition
in volume from the moment the sound starts to the moment
the sound stops.
Time*
The Time parameters let you set the time between the
adjoining points of the level parameters below. A higher
value results in a longer time until reaching the next level.
Settings: 0 – 127
1 Attack Time
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum
level after the key is pressed.
2 Decay 1 Time
Determines how fast the envelope falls from the Attack
Level to the Decay 1 Level.
3 Decay 2 Time
Determines how fast the envelope falls from the Decay1
Level to the Decay2 Level (sustain level).
4 Release Time
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after
the key is released.
Level
The Level parameters let you set the amount of the
transition at each point based on the level specified in the
Level/Pan display (page 122).
Settings: 0 – 127
5 Initial Level
Determines the initial level at the moment the note is
pressed.
6 Attack Level
Determines the maximum level which the envelope
reaches after a note is pressed.
7 Decay 1 Level
Determines the level which the envelope reaches from the
Attack Level after the Decay1 time elapses.
8 Decay 2 Level
Determines the level which will be maintained while a note
is held.
9 Half Damper Switch
When the Half Damper Switch is set to on, you can
produce a “half-pedal” effect just as on a real acoustic
piano by using the optional FC3 Foot Controller connected
to the FOOT SWITCH SUSTAIN jack on the rear panel.
Settings: on, off
n When you wish to recreate a half-damper effect using the
optional FC3, set the Sustain Pedal parameter to “FC3 (half
on)” in the Play Display (page 259) of the Utility mode. Note
that this setting is not necessary when controlling the half-
damper by sending the Control Change messages from an
external MIDI device to the instrument.
