Owner’s Manual
There are three kinds of Voices: Normal Voices, Drum Voices and Plug-in Voices (if a Plug-in board has been installed). The following
section shows how to edit the different types of voices and explains the parameters available. Note that available parameters to be edited
differ depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum Voice, Plug-in Voice).
Normal Voice Edit
When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and
Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements).
These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.
[F5] EG (Envelope Generator)
This display contains the basic EG settings, both volume and filter, for the voice, as well as the filter’s cutoff frequency and resonance settings. The settings
made here are applied as offsets to the AEG and FEG settings in the Voice Edit mode.
The full names of the available parameters are shown in the chart below, as they appear in the display.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 (except --- above)
[F6] ARP (Arpeggio)
This display contains the basic settings for Arpeggio playback, including Type and Tempo. About the [SF1] - [SF5] buttons, see the explanation of the [F1]
PLAY display.
Bank,
Ctgr (Category),
Type
These three parameters determine the Arpeggio Type. The three-letter prefix number before the Type name
indicates the number within the selected Category.
Settings: Refer to the separate Data List.
Tempo Determines the Arpeggio Tempo. When MIDI Sync ([UTILITY] [F5] MIDI [SF3] SYNC MIDI Sync) is set
to “MIDI,” “MIDI” is displayed here and cannot be set.
Settings: 1 ~ 300
VelLimit (Velocity Limit) Determines the lowest and highest velocity which can trigger the Arpeggio playback. The Arpeggio plays
when you play notes at velocities within in this range.
Settings: 1 ~ 127
n Keys played outside the set limit sound normally without any Arpeggio.
Switch Determines whether Arpeggio is on or off. You can also turn Arpeggio on/off from the front panel with the
[ARPEGGIO] button.
Settings: off, on
Hold Determines whether the Arpeggio playback is “held” or not. When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles
automatically, even if you release your fingers from the keys, and it continues to cycle until the next key is
pressed.
Settings: sync-off (see below), off, on
sync-off............When set to “sync-off,” the Arpeggio playback continues to run silently, even when you release the keys. Pressing
any key turns the Arpeggio playback on again. In other words, you can use the key to “un-mute” or “mute” (not
start or stop) the Arpeggio playback by, respectively, holding it down or releasing it.
