Note
that
performance parameters 13 through
24
can be
set differently for
each
individual voice.
Once
you have changed any
of
these function parameters
for a
particular voice,
you
can save your
new
settings
with the
INTERNAL
voice
by
using
the
STORE
function,
(see
CHAPTER
IV;
VOICE
PROGRAMMING,
4.
Storing
Voice
Data).
13:
POLY
I
MONO
UH
POLY
-MONO
This function
selects either
the
POLY
or
MONO
output
mode.
Voices
programmed
with
the
POLY mode
will
let
you
play
up
to
8
notes.
In
the
MONO
mode,
the
DX1 00
acts as
monophonic
keyboard.
Once
the
POLY/MONO
function
is
selected,
subsequent
presses of button
#13
will
alternate
between
the
POLY
and
MONO
modes. The
DATA ENTRY
buttons
can
also
be
used; the
-1 button
selects
POLY
and
the
+1 button
selects
MONO.

PITCH
BEND RANGE
PITCH
BEND
RANGE
This function
sets
the
pitch
range
of
the Pitch
Bend Wheel
located
at
the
upper
left
of
the
DX100
panel.
The
Pitch
Bend Wheel
automatically centers
at
normal
pitch.
Moving
the
Wheel upward (away
from
the
player)
will raise
the
pitch,
and
moving
it
downward
(toward
the
player)
will
lower the
pitch.
These
pitch
bend
directions
can
also
be
reversed
by
holding
down
the
PITCH
B
MODE
button while
switching
the
DX100
power ON.
This provides the
same
depth
of effect
but
in
the
opposite
direction of
wheel movement.
This
can be
useful
in
performance
situations.
The
data
range
is
from
to 12.
At
0,
the Pitch
Bend Wheel
is
off
and
will
have
no
effect.
Each increment
between
1
and 12
represents
a
semitone
(i.e.
the
pitch
variation
between any
white key
and
a
black
key immediately
next
to
it).
Thus,
if
this
function
is
set to 12,
maximum
travel
of
the Pitch
Bend Wheel
either
above
or
below
it's
center position
will
produce
a
one-octave
pitch
variation.
The
DATA ENTRY
slider
and -1/ +
1
buttons can be used
to enter
the
data.
Once
the
PITCH
BEND RANGE
function
is
called,
subsequent
presses
of
button
#14
will
increment
(increase) the data value.
PITCH
B MODE:
MODE
SET
mo
MODE
SET
This function button, located
immediately
above
the
DATA ENTRY
-1
button,
offers
a
choice
of three Pitch
Bend Wheel
modes: Low, High and
Kon.
In
the
Low
mode,
the Pitch
Bend Wheel
affects
only
the
lowest note played
on
the
keyboard.
In
other
words,
if
a
chord
is
played, the Pitch
Bend Wheel
will
affect
only
the pitch
of
the
lowest note
in
the
chord—
this
makes
it
possible
to
produce
some
interesting
effects.
The
High
mode
is
just
the opposite,
only the highest note played
will
be
affected
by
the Pitch
Bend
Wheel.
In
the
Kon
(Key on)
mode,
all
notes played
are
affected
by
the Pitch
Bend
Wheel.
The
DATA
ENTRY
slider,
the
-1/ +
1
buttons
and
the
PB
MODE
button
can be
used
to select
the desired
mode.
NOTE:
The
PB
MODE
parameter
is
NOT
individually
programmable
for
each
voice.
