6 Press the [D] (COMPARE) button to compare the sound of the edited
Voice with the unedited Voice.

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 99. The Voice Set parameters
are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are
described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parame-
ters (page 105), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.

MODULATION
The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well
as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates
each of the following parameters.
The available parameters differ
depending on the Voice.
Changes to velocity curve
according to Touch sensitivity
TOUCH SENSE DEPTH
Changes to velocity curve
according to VelDepth (with Off-
set set to 64)
TOUCH SENSE OFFSET
Changes to velocity curve
according to VelOffset (with
Depth set to 64)

VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE
Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the
volume responds to your playing strength.
DEPTH
Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the
voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
OFFSET
Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted
for the actual velocity effect.
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves.
When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1-2 parts, the
R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the
LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available.
MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or
polyphonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE
CONTROL “MONO” button on the panel (page 53).
PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to “MONO”
above.
n Portamento Time:
The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is
a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note
played on the keyboard to the next.
FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cut-
off Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 101.
AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude
(volume).
LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or
the vibrato effect.
LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter
modulation, or the wah effect.
LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude,
or the tremolo effect.
