About Function Indexes

^ In the following section, you will find information on each "function" for all three
menus. The function "indexes" listed on the following pages contain a variety of im
portant information on the function and its parameters, as shown below;

r ©Function Number
This number corresponds to the number of the function
on the menu table on the preceding page.
©Function Name
This name corresponds to the name of the function as
it is listed the menu table on the preceding page.
©Individual parameters and value range
This list shows all the parameters contained in the selected
Function, as well as the range of values or settings which
can be made for each parameter. For example, the SEN
SITIVITY parameter in the VELOCITY RATE func
tion can be set at any level between 0 and 31.
©Explanation of function/parameters
This text provides a brief explanation of the purpose of
the function, as well as its individual parameters.
©0/S (Operating System) control operation
Indicates the basic keys and controls used to select the
function and move through the display hierarchy to edit
settings for each parameter.
©Domain
GLOBAL — In some functions, settings are "Global,"
which means the settings effect the entire operating sys
tem, and all the sounds in it.
Reception in the COMBI mode is limited to KEY AS
SIGN 1 data.
Reception in the "G" performance mode is limited to
the primary channel set in EFFECT-00.

MODULAR — In some functions, settings can be made
for each iPD module individually. In this case, the set
ting is said to be "modular."
LINE — In other functions, settings are made for each
module "LINE" (remember," this is a set of modules —
M1M2, for example).
PATCH — In the COMBI mode, some parameters af
fect each patch independently. In this case, the patch
presently being edited is shown highlighted on the dis
play. You can select a patch to edit with the PROG NO
keys.
8-PATCH MIX GLOBAL — When an 8-patch mix is
used in the COMBI mode, some parameters affect all
8 patches globally.
8-PATCH MIX COUPLE — When an 8-patch mix is
used in the COMBI mode, certain parameters affect the
patches in "couples". In this case, settings made for patch
1, for example, will also affect patch 5. The couple as
signments are; 1<*5, 2<-*6, 3<->7, 4<->8. Note that both
patches in each "couple" are highlighted on the display
when either is selected.
AREA — When parameters are displayed along with the
Area number in the MULTI CH mode, the data affects
each area independently. You can select an area to edit
with the PROG NO keys.
©Related Functions
Lists the other editing functions that are closely inter
related with the selected function. In this case, the P VEL
RATE (VOICE-18) function is closely related to such
functions as VOICE-17 (the VEL RATE SENSITIVI
TY function), and VOICE-09 (the DCA ENVELOPE
function).
©Modes
Lists all of the "operational modes" — NORMAL,
COMBINATION, etc. — in which the function oper
ates. (See the menu table on the preceding page. The left-
hand column of the menu hierarchy shows the MODEs
related to the FUNCTIONS on the right.)
©Menu
This "tab" at the edge of the page shows which "menu"
the function can be accessed in. In this case, "VOICE"
indicates that the VELOCITY RATE SENSITIVITY
function can be accessed in the VOICE PARAMETER
menu.
REMEMBER....
These indexes provide only basic information on each
function and parameter. Many of these functions and
parameters are interrelated, and it would take literally
volumes to provide a technical explanation of how they
actually affect the sounds. To gain a practical under
standing, be sure to go through the PRACTICE EXER
CISE found on the next page.
