Numeric keypad, [ENTER]
button
You can specify the value for the selected parameter by
using the numeric keypad, then actually set that value
by pressing the [ENTER] button. For example, to set a
value of “100,” press (in order) the numeric keypad
buttons [1], [0], and [0]. (The parameter indicator
flashes.) Finally, press the [ENTER] button to set the
value.
Moving the Cursor Position
For certain parameters, such as Voice Name and
others, the [E]/[F] buttons are used to move the
cursor position in the display. (The selected character
flashes.) Move the cursor to the desired position, then
set the value.
Types of Parameters (Absolute and
Relative)
There are many ways to set parameters. Some
parameters require you to directly enter numerical
settings or alphabetic characters. With others, you
can choose from a number of available settings.
Furthermore, some types of parameters are
“absolute” whereas others are “relative.”
For example, the absolute parameter in the following
illustration can be set to either “mono” or “poly.”
For other absolute parameters such as Volume, the
setting can be any value between zero and 127. The
Volume setting has a linear, one-to-one relationship
with the actual volume, as shown in the graph on the
left.
However, relative parameters do not follow the same
relationship. The graph on the bottom shows the
role of the Velocity Offset parameter. The value you
have set here, known as an “offset,” is added to, or
subtracted from, the actual value. With Velocity
Offset, the specified offset value is added to, or
subtracted from, the actual velocity of the notes you
play on the keyboard. Sometimes, these types of
relative parameters are set as a percentage.
