NoteLimitL/H
(NtLmtL/H)
Note Limit Low/High Determines note ranges and velocity limits for each Part. Same as the Limit display in the Performance
Voice Assign mode (page 79).
n If you specify the highest note first and the lowest note second, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covered
will be “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8” (except for the Plug-in Parts).
If you specify the maximum value first and the minimum value second, for example “93 to 34,” then the velocity range
covered will be “1 to 34” and “93 to 127” (except for the Plug-in Parts).

PortaSwitch (PrtSw)
Portamento Switch Determines the Portamento parameters for each Part. Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in
pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. Determines whether Portamento is on or off.
Settings: off, on
PortaTime (PrtTm)
Portamento Time Determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
PortaMode (PrtMd)
Portamento Mode Determines the Portamento mode.
Settings: fingr (fingered), full (full time)
fingr (fingered)......Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one).
full (full time).........Portamento is always applied.
n The Mode setting is not available for the Plug-in Part.
n These Portamento parameters above are not available for the Part to which the Drum Voice is assigned.
PB Upper/Lower
(PB Up/Low)
Pitch Bend Upper/Lower These two parameters are available for Parts 1 - 4 to which the internal Normal Voices are assigned.
These determine the pitch change range (in semitones) of the Pitch Bend wheel for the Part’s Voice.
For example, a Lower setting of -12 would result in the pitch being lowered up to a maximum of one octave
(12 semitones) when the Pitch Bend wheel is moved downwards. Similarly, setting the Upper parameter to
+12 would result in a maximum pitch rise of one octave when the wheel is moved upwards.
Settings: -48 ~ 0 ~ +24
VelSensDpt (VelDpt)
Velocity Sensitivity Depth Determines the degree to which the resulting
volume of the tone generator responds to
your playing strength. The higher the value,
the more the volume changes in response to
your playing strength (as shown at right).
Settings: 0 ~ 127
VelSensOfs (VelOfs)
Velocity Sensitivity Offset Determines the amount by which played velocities are adjusted for the actual resulting velocity effect. This
lets you raise or lower all velocities by the same amount.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Output
Volume
Volume Determines the volume for each Part, allowing you to set the optimum level balance of all the Parts.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Pan
Pan Determines the stereo pan position for each Part.
Settings: L63 (far left) ~ C (center) ~ R63 (far right)
VoiceELPan (ELPan)
Voice Element Pan Determines whether the individual pan settings for each Voice (made in the AMP display (page 71) from 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
n The “VoiceELPan” is not available for the Plug-in Part.
RevSend (RevSnd)/
ChoSend (ChoSnd)
Reverb Send/Chorus Send Determines the send level for the Reverb/Chorus Effect of the selected Part, giving you detailed control over
the Reverb/Chorus balance among the Parts.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
DryLevel (DryLvl)
Dry Level Determines the level of the unprocessed (dry) sound of the selected Part, letting you control the overall
effect balance among the Parts.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
OutputSel (OutSel)
Output Select Determines the specific output(s) for the individual Part. You can assign each individual Part’s Voice to be
output from a specific hardware output jack on the rear panel.
Settings: See page 15.
