) Accent Vel Threshold
(Accent Velocity Threshold)
Some preset Arpeggio types include the special sequence
data called “Accent Phrase,” which will be played back
only when the velocities higher than a specified value are
received. This parameter determined the minimum velocity
that will trigger the Accent Phrase.
Settings: off, 1 – 127
! Accent Start Quantize
Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the
Velocity specified in Accent Vel Threshold above is
received. When set to off, the Accent Phrase starts as soon
as the Velocity is received. When set to on, the Accent
Phrase starts on the beat specified for each Arpeggio type
after the Velocity is received.
Settings: off, on
@ Random SFX
Some Arpeggio types feature the Random SFX function
which will trigger the special sound such as fret noise of
the guitar when the note is released. This parameter
determines whether the Random SFX is active or not.
Settings: off, on
# Random SFX Velocity Offset
Determines the offset value by which the Random SFX
notes will be shifted from their original velocities. If the
resultant velocity value is less than zero it will be set to 1,
and if the resultant velocity is greater than 128 it will be set
to 127.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
$ Random SFX Key On Control
When this is set to “on,” the Random SFX special sound is
played with the pre-programmed velocity. When this is set
to “off,” the Random SFX special sound is played with the
velocity generated when the note is pressed.
Settings: off, on
% MIDI Out Switch (MIDI Output Switch)
When this is set to on, Arpeggio playback data is output
from the MIDI terminal.
Settings: off (not output), on (output)
^ MIDI Out Channel (MIDI Output Channel)
Determines the MIDI transmit channel for Arpeggio
playback data. When this is set to “kbd,” Arpeggio
playback data is output via the MIDI transmit channel
(page 137) set in the Performance Play mode.
Settings: 1 – 16, kbd (Keyboard Channel)
EG Settings—[F4] EG
You can control the sound transition from the moment a key
is pressed to the moment at which it is released. You can
also adjust the tone brilliance by setting the Cutoff
Frequency and Resonance.
1 AEG (Amplitude EG)
Determines the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator)
parameters for each Part. The following parameters can be
used to control the change in volume from the moment a
note is pressed on the keyboard to the moment the sound
stops. The setting made here will be applied to the AEG
parameters (page 123) of each Voice as offset.
Attack (Attack Time)
Determines the speed of attack from the time a key is played
until the maximum initial level of the EG is reached.
Decay (Decay Time)
Determines how fast the volume falls from maximum attack
level to the sustain level.
Sustain (Sustain Level)
Determines the sustain level at which the volume will continue
while a note is held, after the initial attack and decay.
Release (Release Time)
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the
key is released.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
n When a Drum Voice is selected, Sustain Level and
Release Time are not available.
2 FEG (Filter EG)
Determines the FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)
parameters for each Part. Using the FEG, you can control
the transition in tonal color (Cutoff Frequency) from the
moment the sound starts to the moment it stops. The
setting made here will be applied to the FEG parameters
(page 119) of each Voice as offset.
Attack (Attack Time)
Determines the speed of filter variation from the time a note is
played until the maximum initial level of the Cutoff Frequency
is reached.
Decay (Decay Time)
Determines how fast the Cutoff Frequency falls from maximum
attack level to the sustain level.
