Explanation
"stretched tuning"
This setting allows you to apply
which acoustic pianos are normally tuned, causing the lower range to be lower and the higher
range to be higher than the mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise dictate .) . With a setting
of "OFF," the tone's tuning will be equal temperament . A setting of
difference in the pitch of the low and high ranges .
The diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal temperament that will occur in the low and
high ranges . This setting will have a subtle effect on the way in which chords resonate .

Low note range
Specifies the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the tone (1/f modulation is a pleasant
and naturally-occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook or rustling wind .) .
By adding this "1/f modulation," you can simulate the natural instability characteristic of an
analog synthesizer .
Cutoff Frequency Offset alters the cutoff frequency of the overall tone, while preserving the
relative differences between the cutoff frequency values set for each partial in the Cutoff
Frequency parameters (p . 51) .
NOTE
This value is added to the cutoff frequency value of a partial, so if the cutoff frequency value
of any partial is already set to "127"
change .
Resonance Offset alters the resonance of the overall tone, while preserving the relative differences
between the resonance values set for each partial in the Resonance parameter (p . 51) .
* Resonance: emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character
to the sound .
NOTE
This value is added to the resonance value of a partial, so if the resonance value of any partial is
already set to "127" (maximum), positive (+) value here will not produce any change .
Attack Time Offset alters the attack time of the overall tone, while preserving the relative
differences between the attack time values set for each partial in the TVA Env Time 1 parameters (p .
54), TVF Env Time 1 parameters (p . 53) .
* Attack Time: The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum volume after the key is pressed
and sound begun .
NOTE
This value is added to the attack time value of a partial, so if the attack time value of any partial
is already set to "127" (maximum), positive (+) value here will not produce any change .
Release Time Offset alters the release time of the overall tone, while preserving the relative
differences between the release time values set for each partial in the TVA Env Time 4 parameters
(p . 54), TVF Env Time 4 parameters (p . 53) .
* Release Time: The time from when you take your finger off the key until the sound disappears .
NOTE
This value is added to the release time value of a partial, so if the release time value of any
"127"
partial is already set to (maximum), positive (+) value here will not produce any change .
Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall tone while preserving the
relative differences between the Velocity Sensitivity values set for each partial in the parameters
below .
Cutoff Velocity Sens parameter (p . 52)
Level Velocity Sens parameter (p . 53)
* Velocity: Pressure with which the key is pressed .
NOTE
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a partial, so if the velocity sensitivity value
of any partial is already set to "+63"
change .
Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO) . The
"MONO" setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone such as sax or flute .
MONO: Only the last-played note will sound .
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously .
