Explanation
Adjusts the overall volume of the tone
Explanation
Switches the MFX on/off.
Adjusts the amount of chorus.
If you don't want to add the chorus effect, set
it to 0.
Adjusts the amount of reverb.
If you don't want to add the reverb effect, set
it to 0.
Explanation
MFX will not be used.
Controller number 1–31
Controller number 33–95
Pitch Bend
Aftertouch
Use the controller that is assigned by the
System Control Source 1–4.
Specifies which of the multi-effect parameters
are controlled using MFX CONTROL. The
multi-effects parameters available for control
will depend on the multi-effects type.
Specifies the depth of MFX CONTROL.
Specify a positive "+" value if you want to
change the value of the assigned destination
in a positive direction (larger, toward the
right, faster, etc.), or specify a negative value
"-" if you want to change the value in a
negative direction (smaller, toward the left,
slower, etc.). Larger values will allow a greater
amount of control.
Explanation
Compressor on/off
Time from when the input exceeds the
threshold until compression begins
Time from when the input falls below the
threshold until compression is turned off
Level at which compression is applied
Compression ratio
This is a function that smooths the onset of
compression from the uncompressed state; it
gradually applies compression starting earlier
than Threshold. Higher values produce a
smoother transition.
Level of the output sound
Specifies the compressor output destination.

Parameter List
Explanation
Adjusts the volume of the key.
Adjusts the stereo location of the key.
Adjusts the amount of delay for each key.
Adjusts the amount of reverb for each key.
On an actual acoustic drum set, an open hi-
hat and a closed hi-hat sound can never
occur simultaneously.
To reproduce the reality of this situation, you
can set up a Mute Group.
The Mute Group function allows you to
designate two or more keys that are not
allowed to sound simultaneously. Up to 31
Mute Groups can be used.
Keys that are not belong to any such group
should be set to "OFF. "
Specifies the output destination for each key.
Shifts the pitch in units of a semitone.
Finely adjusts the pitch in units of one cent.
Adjusts how far the filter is open.
Increasing this value makes the sound
brighter, and decreasing it makes the sound
darker.
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in
the region of the cutoff frequency, adding
character to the sound. Excessively high
settings can produce oscillation, causing the
sound to distort.
Increasing this value strengthens the
character, and decreasing it weakens the
character.
Adjusts the time over which the sound
reaches its maximum volume after you press
the key.
Larger settings of this value make the attack
gentler, and smaller settings make the attack
sharper.
Adjusts the time over which the volume
decreases from its maximum value.
Larger settings of this value make the decay
longer, and smaller settings make the decay
shorter.
The time it takes after the key is released for a
sound to become inaudible.
If Envelope Mode is NO-SUS, this is the time
until the sounded note becomes inaudible.
Larger settings of this value make the sound
linger, and smaller settings make the sound
end more sharply.
Explanation
Turns the equalizer on/off for each key.
Gain of the low frequency range.
Specifies the reference frequency of the mid-
frequency range.
Gain of the high frequency range.
Frequency of the low range.
Adjusts the amount of mid-frequency boost/
cut.
Frequency of the high range.
Specifies the width of the mid-frequency
range.
Set a higher value for Q to narrow the range
to be affected.
