PF Native Part Parameters

Keep in mind that the parameter values and settings represent offsets of the actual voice settings. This
means that the actual sound that results from the settings made here depends on the original settings
of the voice.
Also keep in mind that these are "Part" parameters and as such, are temporary; they simply alter or
offset the settings of the currently selected voice. The original voice settings are permanently main-
tained in memory.
For parameter values, a setting of "0" results in no change, while positive and negative values increase
and decrease the value respectively.
Let's look at a specific example. If the original Bass Frequency parameter of the selected voice is set
to 100, and you set the Bass Frequency (below) to "-25," the actual Bass Frequency will become "75."
If you set it to "+10," the value will become "110." Naturally, this also means that the parameter
value cannot be increased or decreased beyond its maximum or minimum values. In our example,
Bass Frequency values higher than "+27" have no effect on the sound, since the actual range is 0 —
127.
PF Mode
Settings: ON, OFF
This determines whether the PF (Piano) Mode is on or off. When this is set to "ON" and damper (sus-
tain) pedal messages are received, the PLG150-PF simulates the sound of a damper pedal.
SusCurve (Sustain Curve)
Settings: Normal, Step
This determines how the voices respond to damper (sustain) pedal messages. When this is set to
"Normal," the PLG150-PF simulates the actual damper pedal action of an acoustic piano, giving you
continuous control over sustain. When this is set to "Step," sustain is simply turned on or off in
response to damper pedal messages.
Depending on the selected voice and the particular parameter being edited, the sound or actual
parameter value of certain voices may change very little or not at all, even when the parameter
value is changed drastically.
For Modular Synthesis Plug-in System compatible devices, the voices you edit/create can be stored
to the device as PLG voices. For details on storing voices, refer to the owner's manual of your Mod-
ular Synthesis Plug-in System compatible instrument.
