3. Adjust the VALUE 1–3 knobs while playing back Track
15/16 to get the sound you want.
VALUE 1 Knob: DYNAMICS
This adjusts the difference between the high and low
volume levels during the performance. The range in
volume decreases as the knob is turned to the right
(clockwise). Although this is convenient for achieving an
overall volume level, it results in a loss of some of the
natural dynamics of music.
The range in volume increases as the knob is turned to
the left (counterclockwise). Although this results in a loss
of the overall volume level, it provides a natural
dynamic range that is close to that of the actual
performance.
Setting this to the center position maintains the patch's
original effect.
VALUE 2 Knob: TONE
Turning this knob to the right boosts the low-frequency
and high-frequency ranges.
Turning this knob to the left produces a more subdued
tone whereby the low-frequency and high-frequency
ranges are not emphasized.
Setting this to the center position maintains the patch's
original effect.
VALUE 3 Knob: NATURAL
Turning this knob to the right causes the Mastering Tool
Kit to be applied more slowly for a more natural effect.
Since sudden peaks in volume are played back as is, this
condition makes it more difficult to achieve a good
overall volume level.
When the knob is turned to the left, the Mastering Tool
Kit is applied more rapidly in response to sudden
volume peaks. However, this negatively impacts the
naturalness of the sound.

Setting this to the center position maintains the patch's
original effect.
* The VALUE 1–3 Knob settings are not saved to the patches,
but rather are applied to all patches.
The sound may be distorted depending on your
setting. Use your ears as well when adjusting the
VALUE 1–3 knobs to achieve the sound you want
while confirming there is no distortion.
