Bi Basic Settings for Playing..........sccossssssoseesesees
@ LEVEL (Part Level) : 0 - 127
Adjusts the volume of each Part. Higher settings result in a loud-
er volume.
@ PAN : Rnd, L63-0- R63
Pan adjusts the stereo location of the sound when listening in
stereo. For example, you might make settings so that drums and
bass are heard from the center, guitar from the right, and key-
board from the left. To place a sound in the center, set this para-
meter to 0. Increasingly higher L values will move the sound
toward the left, while higher R values move it toward the right.
Selecting "rnd" (random) will produce a special effect in which
the sound is placed randomly between left and right with each
new note.
* Drum Sets allow you to set an independent pan position for
each instrument. Modifying the Pan setting of a Drum Part
will move the stereo location of the entire drum set.
" With some sounds, a slight amount of it may be heard from
the opposite speaker even with a setting of full left (or right).
" If the audio connections are in mono, pan settings will have no
effect.
@ Reverb (Part Reverb Level) : 0-127
Adjusts the depth of the reverb effect for each Part.
@ Chorus (Part Chorus Level) : 0-127
Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect for each Part. (Chorus is an
effect that gives spaciousness to the sound.)
@ Rx Ch (MIDI Receive Channel)
: AOT - Al6, BOI - B16, Off
Sets the MIDI receive channel for each Part.
@ Key Shift
3-24 -0- +424 (Semitone 2 Steps, 2 Octaves)
This transposes the Part. Increasing (decreasing) the value by 1
will raise (lower) the pitch by one semitone. A change of 12 cor-
responds to a pitch change of one octave. With a setting of 0, the
Part will not be transposed.
@ Detune : -100.0 - + 100.0 Cents
Use this parameter when you wish to make fine adjustments to
the pitch of each Part. Positive (+) settings will raise the pitch,
and negative {-) settings will lower the pitch. By setting two or
more Parts to use the same MIDI channel and sound, and setting
them to slightly different Detune values, the Parts will play in
unison, creating a richer sound.
* If you wish to adjust the pitch of all Parts, use the Tune para-
meter.
* If you wish to transpose all Parts, use the Key Shift parameter.
@ Assign (Output Assign)
: OUT 1/OUT 2/OUT 2L/OUT 2R
Specify the output from which the sound of each Part will be
sent.
OUT 1 (1)
The sound (with effects) will be output in stereo
from the Output 1 jacks.
OUT 2 (2)
The direct sound (without effects) will be sent in
stereo from the Output 2 jacks.
OUT 2L(2L)
The direct sound (without effects) will be sent
from the Output 2L jack. (Pan settings will be
ignored.)
OUT2R(2r}
The direct sound (without effects) will be sent
from the Output 2R jack. (Pan settings will be
ignored.)
* The headphone jack outputs the sound of Output 1, This
means that Parts which have been assigned to Output 2 will
not be heard through the headphones.
* These settings are effective only when the System Output
Mode parameter (p. 18) is set to "Selected." If this parameter is
set to "Fixed," these settings will be ignored.
» At the factory settings, all Parts are assigned to OUT 1.
@ Tune (Master Tune) : 415.3-466.2 Hz
This adjusts the pitch (middle A = A4) of the entire M-GS64. The
display will show a value of 15.3—66.2, which corresponds to
415.3 Hz — 466.2 Hz.
@ Device ID: 1-32
The Device ID number is an ID number used when transmitting
and receiving Exclusive messages. The M-GS64 will receive
Exclusive messages which have a Device ID number that match-
es its own Device ID setting. This means that when transmitting
