Functions of Rhythm Set parame-

Naming a Rhythm Set (Common)

Rhythm Set Name display
Rhythm Set Name
You can use up to 12 alphanumeric characters to name the
Rhythm Set.
Modifying waveform and pitch of a
Rhythm Tone (Key WG)
The Key WG group consists of Wave and Pitch
Envelope display pages. To flip between these two,
press [F2] (Key WG).
Wave display
Select the basic Rhythm Tone waveform and modify it or
adjust pitch.
Wave Group
Selects the waveform group.
INT A–B: Waveform stored in the unit's internal memory.
EXP A–D: Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board
installed in EXP-A–D slots.
To display the waveform list, press [SOUND LIST].
Selecting a Patch group from a Wave Expansion Board
that is not installed is of course not possible.
Wave Number
Selects the basic waveform for a Rhythm Tone. The name of
the wave will be displayed in parentheses ( ).
To display the waveform list, press [SOUND LIST].
Wave Gain
Adjusts the gain over a -6– +12 dB range, in steps of 6 dB. An
increase of 6 dB doubles the gain.
Tone Switch
Turn it on when you want a specific Rhythm Tone. Keep it
OFF otherwise.
Coarse Tune
Sets the key pitch for the Rhythm Tone played.

[RHYTHM] [F1] (Common)/[F2] (Key WG)
Fine Tune
Adjusts pitch in 1-cent (1/100th of a semitone) steps (-50–
+50 cents).
Random Pitch Depth
For random pitch changes with every key press, use this
parameter to set the desired amount (in cents) of pitch
change. If you don't want random pitch changes set it to O.
Pitch Envelope display
This is where to set the pitch envelope (how pitch changes
over time). The pitch envelope is displayed graphically.

Time1-4 (Pitch envelope time 1–4)
Sets pitch envelope's time (Time 1–4). Higher settings extend
the duration over which pitch changes from one point to
another (for example, time for the pitch to change from
Level 1 to Level 2 for Time 2).
Level1-4 (Pitch envelope level 1–4)
Sets pitch envelope level (Level 1–4) to determine pitch of
each point relative to the reference pitch (pitch set for Coarse
Tune or Fine Tune). Positive (+) values will raise pitch over
the reference pitch, and negative (-) values lower pitch
below the reference pitch.
Envelope Depth (Pitch envelope depth)
Adjusts pitch envelope amount. Higher settings produce
more change. Negative (-) values invert the envelope.
Velocity Sens (Pitch envelope velocity sensitivity)
This parameter should be used when you want keyboard
playing dynamics (velocity) to impact on pitch envelope
amount. With positive (+) values, the amount of pitch enve-
lope increases as the key is pressed with increasing force.
Negative (-) values reduce pitch envelope amount as the key
is pressed with increasing force.
Velocity Time (Pitch envelope velocity time sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing
dynamics (velocity) to impact on the pitch envelope time.
With positive (+) settings, a higher keyboard velocity will
reduce (speed up) Time value. With negative (-) settings,
higher keyboard velocity will increase (slow down) Time
value.
