Quick Guide Editing a Program
The following briefly describes the main Performance
parameters.
Parameters for the Voice assigned to each Part
Page 152
The Voice assigned to each part and its note range can be
set also in the Performance Play mode (page 152). In
addition to the parameters available in the Performance
Play mode, the Performance Edit mode also lets you set
Portamento (pitch glide) and Arpeggio Switch (which
determines whether the Arpeggio plays a specific Part or
not).
Basic parameters for creating the sound
Page 154
Edit the parameters for each Part’s Voice such as Pitch,
Filter, and Amplitude. The parameters offset the same
parameters in the Voice Element Edit mode.
Parameters related to the Audio Input Part
Page 151
The audio signal input from the A/D INPUT jack (or the
optional audio inputs) can be handled as an Audio Input
part. Various parameters such as volume, pan, and effect
can be set to this Part and the sound is output together
with other Parts. The parameters related to the Audio Input
Part can be edited in Common Edit for each Performance.
Parameters related to the OUTPUT jacks for each
Part
Page 154
You can assign each individual Part’s Voice to be output
from a specific hardware output jack on the rear panel. This
function is useful when you want to output a specific Part to
a separate speaker or process it with a favorite external
effect.
Effect related parameters
Pages 118, 150, 152
The Effects use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to alter and
enhance the sound of a Performance. The Common Edit
display lets you edit the Effect-related parameters.
Master EQ related parameters
Pages 120, 150
These parameters let you use the five-band Master EQ to
process the overall sound of the Performance. Master EQ
also features separate EQ shape parameters for the Low
and High bands, as well as the Frequency, Gain and Q
controls for each band.
Controller related parameters
Pages 41, 59, 151
For each Performance, you can assign the Control Change
Number to built-in controllers such as Control sliders
(ASSIGN1 and 2) and optionally connected controllers,
such as Foot Controller and Breath Controller.
n Functions assigned to Controllers depend on the settings of each
Part's Voice edited in the Voice Edit mode.
Arpeggio related parameters
Pages 124, 151
For each Performance, you can set the Arpeggio related
parameters, such as Arpeggio type and playback tempo.
These settings can be edited in the Common Edit display.
Enter a name for the Voice from the NAME display
([COMMON]
[F1] GENERAL [SF1] NAME).
For detailed instructions on naming a voice, refer to page
27.
The edited Performance can be stored in the Performance
Store mode. For details, see page 56.
