  • Page 44 PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) Parameter Value Explanation This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch will be used (ON) or not (OFF) . Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to “MONO.” With the Legato Switch “ON,” pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to Legato Switch OFF, ON the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while .

  • Page 45: Wave Tab

    PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) Parameter Value Explanation NORMAL: The pitch bend lever works in the conventional way . CATCH+LAST: The pitch lever affects only the last-sounded note . If you play a note while the pitch Bend Mode NORMAL, CATCH+LAST bend lever is already moved, that note sounds at its normal pitch (as though the lever were in the center) .
  • Page 46 PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) Parameter Value Explanation Partial Delay This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released), and the moment the partial actually begins to sound . You can also make settings that shift the timing at which each partial is sounded . This differs from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound qualities of the delayed partials and changing the pitch for each partial, you can also perform arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key .

This reduces the volume of all frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) in order to round off, or un-brighten the sound .

  • Page 52: Tvf Env Tab

    PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) Parameter Value Explanation Use this parameter if you want the cutoff frequency to change according to the key that is pressed . Relative to the cutoff frequency at the C4 key (center C), positive (+) value will cause the cutoff frequency to rise for notes higher than C4, and negative (-) value will cause the cutoff frequency to fall for notes higher than C4 .

  • Page 53: Tva Tab

    PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) Parameter Value Explanation Use this setting if you want the TVF envelope times (Time 2–Time 4) to be affected by the keyboard location .
