copied when a Drum Voice is selected. However, these
parameters are copied when a Normal Voice is selected.
Settings: off (not copied), on (copied)
5 Volume*
Determines the volume for each Part. Use this parameter to
adjust the balance between the current Part and other
Parts.
Settings: 0 – 127
6 Pan*
Determines the stereo pan position for the Part.
Settings: L63 (far left) – C (center) – R63 (far right)
n Note that this Part Pan parameter may have little or no audible
effect if the Pan for a specific Element is set to the left position
and the Pan for another Element is set to the right position.
7 Voice Element Pan
Determines whether the individual pan settings for each
Voice (made in the Voice Element Edit mode) are applied
or not. When this is set to “off,” the basic pan position for
the selected Part is set to center.
Settings: on, off
8 Note Shift*
Adjusts the pitch of the Part in semitones.
Settings: -24 – +0 – +24
9 Detune
Adjusts the tuning of the Part in cent increments.
Settings: -12.8 Hz – +0 Hz – +12.7 Hz
) Mono/Poly*
Determines the playback method of the Voice for each
Part—monophonic (single note only) or polyphonic
(multiple notes).
Settings: mono, poly
mono
When set to “mono,” the selected Performance is played back
monophonically (only a single note is played back simultaneously). For
many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), this allows a
more natural and smooth sounding legato performance than when this
parameter is set to “poly.”
poly
When set to “poly,” the selected Performance is played back
polyphonically (multiple notes can be played back simultaneously or a
chord is played back).
! Portamento Part Sw*
Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current
Performance or not.
Settings: off, on
@ Portamento Time*
Determines the pitch transition time. Higher values mean
longer transition times.
Settings: 0 – 127
# Portamento Mode
Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard
performance.
Settings: fingered, fulltime
fingered
Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note
before releasing the previous one).
fulltime
Portamento is applied to all notes.
$ Velocity Limit
Determines the minimum and maximum values of the
velocity range within which each Part will respond. Each
Part will only sound for notes played within its specified
velocity range. If you specify the maximum value first and
the minimum value second, for example “93 to 34,” there
will be a velocity “hole” and the velocity range covered will
be “1 to 34” and “93 to 127.”
Settings: 1 – 127
n You can also set the velocity from the keyboard by holding
down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing any key with the
desired velocity (strength). For details, see page 82.
% Note Limit
Set the lowest and highest notes of the keyboard range for
each Part. Each Part will only sound for notes played within
its specified range. You can also create a lower and an
upper range for the Element, with a note range “hole” in the
middle, by specifying the highest note first. For example,
setting a Note Limit of “C5 – C4” lets you play the Element
from two separate ranges: C -2 to C4 and C5 to G8. Notes
played between C4 and C5 do not play the selected
Element.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the Key directly from the keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired
key. For details, see page 82.
From this display, you can set the Reverb/Chorus depth
and the Output jack assignment for each Part.
1 Reverb Send
Determines the Send level of each Part signal sent to the
Reverb effect. The higher the value, the deeper the Reverb.
Settings: 0 – 127
2 Chorus Send
Determines the Send level of each Part signal sent to the
Chorus effect. The higher the value, the deeper the Chorus.
Settings: 0 – 127
