* Note that performance parameters 13 through 24 can be individually stored for
each voice. They must therefore be stored in the appropriate INTERNAL RAM voice
memory location after editing using the STORE function (see CHAPTER IV: VOICE
PROGRAMMING, 4. Storing Voice Data).
13: POLY/MONO
This function selects either the POLY or MONO note output mode. Voice pro-
grammed with the POLY mode permit simultaneous playing of up to 8 notes. In
the MONO mode the DX100 acts as monophonic keyboard.
Once the POLY/MONO function is selected, subsequent presses on the 13 button
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.
14: PITCH BEND RANGE
This function sets the pitch range of the pitch bend wheel located to the left of
the DX100 panel. The pitch bend wheel automatically centers at normal pitch. It
then may be moved upward (away from the player) to raise the pitch, or moved
downward (toward the player) to lower the pitch by the specified amount. The
Pitch Bend direction can also be reversed: Hold down the PITCH B MODE SET
button while switching the DX100 power ON. This provides the same depth of
effect, but in the opposite direction of wheel movement, which can be useful in
performance situations.
The data range is from 0 to 12. At 0, the pitch bend wheel is off. 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 center position produces a
one-octave pitch variation.
The DATA ENTRY slider and -1/+1 buttons can be used to enter data. Once the
PITCH BEND RANGE function is called, subsequent presses on the 14 button
will increment (increase) the data value.
PITCH B MODE: 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
simultaneously by the pitch bend wheel.
The DATA ENTRY slider and -1/+1 buttons or PB MODE button can be used to
select the desired mode.
NOTE:
The PB MODE parameter is NOT individually programmable for each voice.
