Parameters Common to All Parts

Here's how to make settings for parameters that are common to all Parts.

What Each Parameter Does

The settings for the following parameters made here apply to all Parts.

MASTER VOLUME

Adjusts the volume of all Parts. Raising the value will increase the volume.
The basic volume of the entire SC-8820 is adjusted by the [VOLUME] knob. If the
[VOLUME] knob is at minimum position, there will be no sound even if this LEVEL
setting is raised.

MASTER PAN

Master Pan sets the stereo position of the sound for all Parts. (If you are listening to
the SC-8820 in mono, pan settings will have no effect.) As the - (minus) value de-
creases the sound will be placed further left, and as the + (plus) value increases the
sound will be placed further right. To place a sound in the center, set the Pan value
to 0.
MASTER KEY-SHIFT (Master Key Shift)
Key Shift adjusts the pitch of the sound in semitone steps. For example, if you were
playing back song data from a sequencing program, you could use the Key Shift pa-
rameter to change the key of the song without changing the settings for the sequenc-
ing program. Or, if you are singing along with sequence data, you can adjust Key
Shift to move the song to the key most comfortable for your voice. As the displayed
value rises (falls) one step, the pitch will rise (fall) one semitone. This means that 12
steps equal one octave. With a setting of 0 the pitch will not be affected.
MASTER TUNE (Master Tune)
When you are playing in an ensemble with other instruments or need to set the SC-
8820 to match the pitch of another instrument, adjust the Master Tune setting in the
range of 415.3–466.2 Hz. The displayed value (e.g., 440.0 Hz) indicates the frequency
of the A4 note's pitch (note number 69).
36
0–127
-63(LEFT)–0–+63(RIGHT)
-24–±0–+24 , 2 octaves
415.3–440.0–466.2Hz
For some Instruments, a bit
of sound may be heard
from the opposite speaker
even if pan has been set
fully left or right.
Even if you adjust Key Shift
for all Parts, the pitch of the
Drum Part will not be
affected.
To adjust the pitch of a
single Part, use Key Shift.
