Chapter 7. Creating your original Tone or Drum Set

Creating a Tone

You can modify the settings of a Preset Tone to create your
own original Tone. A Tone that you create can be stored as a
User Tone.
Tones feature ten different parameters, plus multi-effects
parameters. To create your own Tone, you will modify these
parameters.
* Refer to the instructions for making the Tone multi-effects
settings (p. 81).
* You can use the knobs to change parameters other than the
Tone Name in real time (p. 74).

Tone Parameters That Can Be Set

[1] TONE
Tone Name
You can change the name of the tone which you created. The
number of characters in names is set at twelve.
Value: space, A--Z, a--z, 0--9, ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = >
? @ [ ¥ ] ^ _ ` { | }
LFO Rate
Adjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.
Value: -64– +63
LFO Depth
Specifies the depth of LFO.
Value: -64– +63
LFO Delay
This setting allows you to adjust the interval that is to pass
from the moment a key is pressed until the moment that LFO
begins to take effect.
Value: -64– +63
LFO Filter Sw (LFO filter switch)
This determines whether the LFO changes the filter cutoff
frequency (ON) or the pitch (OFF). The parameter value is
changed when FILTER [LFO ON/OFF] is pressed.
Value: OFF, ON
Wah Effect and Vibrato Effect
Changing the filter cutoff frequency with the LFO
produces the "wah effect," and by changing the pitch
with the LFO, you get what is called the "vibrato
effect."
110
Filter Cutoff
Sets the frequency at which harmonics will be cut. This
changes the brightness of the sound.
Value: -64– +63
Filter Resonance
Provides an adjustment for the amount of emphasis to be
placed on the harmonics in the vicinity of the Cutoff
Frequency. The sound takes on a peculiar effect.
Value: -64– +63
Envelope Attack (Envelope attack time)
Adjusts the time it takes for the initial portion of a sound (the
'attack') to be heard after a key is pressed.
Value: -64– +63
Envelope Decay (Envelope decay time)
Adjusts the time it will take for the sound to reach the
"Sustain Level." The Sustain Level is the point at which most
of the volume/cut-off frequency modifications have
stabilized.
Value: -64– +63
Envelope Release (Envelope release time)
Adjusts the time it takes for the sound to fade away after a
key is released.
Value: -64– +63
