Chapter 6. Creating a Rhythm Set
the Rhythm Tone's stereo placement.
Alternate (Alternate pan depth) L64–63R
This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and
right each time a key is pressed. Higher values result in a
greater left/right width. You can select the stereo placement
of the first key using this parameter – its opposite will be
used for the second note, and so on back and forth. If you
want to alternate the pan position of two Rhythm Tones, set
them to the exact opposite L and R settings.
TVA VELOCITY
Velocity Sens (TVA level velocity sensitivity) -
63–+63
Use this setting when you want keyboard touch (velocity) to
affect the Rhythm Tone volume. Set this to a positive value to
have the changes in tone volume increase the more forcefully
the keys are played; to make the Rhythm Tone play more
softly as you play harder, set this to a negative value.
Velocity Curve (TVA level velocity curve)
FIXED/1–7
This setting allows you to select from seven velocity curves
that determine how the force with which the keyboard is
played is to affect the Rhythm Tone's volume. The selected
curve is displayed to the right of its parameter value.
When set to "FIXED," the Rhythm Tone's volume will not be
affected by the force with which the keyboard is played.
TVA TIME ENV (TVA time envelope)
This specifies the manner in which keyboard velocity will
affect the times of the TVA envelope.
V-T1 (TVA envelope time 1 velocity sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing
dynamics (velocity) to affect T1 (Time 1) of the TVA
envelope. With higher settings, the T1 value will change
more significantly depending on whether you play softly or
with greater force. With positive (+) settings, greater
keyboard velocity will reduce the T1 setting. With negative (-
) settings, greater keyboard velocity will increase the T1
setting.
V-T4 (TVA envelope time 4 velocity sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want key-off velocity – the
speed at which you release a key – to affect T4 (Time 4) of the
TVA envelope. With higher settings, the T4 value will change
more significantly depending on whether you release the key
slowly or quickly. With positive (+) settings, faster key-off
velocity will reduce the T4 setting. With negative (-) settings,
faster key-off velocity will increase the T4 setting.

TVA ENVELOPE
These parameters set the characteristics of the TVA envelope,
which applies changes over time to the Rhythm Tone's TVA
level setting.

T1–T4 (TVA envelope time 1–4)
These settings determine the times over which the Rhythm
Tone level setting will change from one TVA envelope level
(L1–L4) to the next.
L1–L3 (TVA envelope level 1–3)
Each TVA envelope level value determines an amount of
change to be applied to the original Rhythm Tone level
setting.
Other Settings (CONTROL)
CONTROL
Bend Range (Tone pitch bend range) 0–48
Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when
you move the Pitch Bend Lever. The left value specifies the
pitch change that will occur when the lever is moved fully
left (or down on some MIDI controllers). The right value
specifies the pitch change that will occur when the lever is
moved fully right (or up). The left value has a range of -48–0
(-4–0 octaves), and the right value has a range of 0–+48 (0–4
octaves).
Envelope Mode (Tone envelope mode) NO-
SUSTAIN/SUSTAIN
When a loop-type waveform is selected, it will normally
continue to sound as long as a key is pressed. If you want a
note to decay naturally even when the key remains pressed,
set this to "NO-SUSTAIN."
* If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if
this parameter is set to "SUSTAIN."
Mute Group OFF/1–31
The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or
more Rhythm Tones that are not allowed to sound
simultaneously. For example, in a real-world acoustic drum
