A
single musical instrument
is
capable of producing
many
different
sounds,
depending on
the
playing techniques
used.
To
reproduce
these
different
sounds by
using several
Rhythm Tones
simultaneously, the
Tones
can be assigned
to a
special group, the
Mute
Group,
that
keeps the
Tones from
all
sounding
at
the
same
time. For example,
set
the the
open
hi-hat
and
closed hi-hat
sounds
to
the
same Mute Group
number, so
that
playing
one of
the
sounds
automatically cuts off the
sound of
the other.
^
Set
the
Envelope mode
to
NO-SUS
for
sound programs
like castanet
and snare drum, the
sounds of which decay
quickly,
to
prevent
the
decay of the
sound from
being altered
by
note off data or the use
of the sustain pedal.
On
the
other hand, for instruments like
timpani and cymbals, the
sound
is
often
muted
in
the
middle of the sound.
For
these
types of sounds,
set the
Envelope
mode
to
SUS, and
release the
key (key
off)
when you want
to
mute
the sound.

Bender
Bend Range
Range:
—
12
This determines
the pitch
bend range of the bender/modulation lever,
when
it
is
moved
laterally.
The
parameter
is
set
in
semitone
units
and changes
the pitch
by one
octave
at
the
maximum
value
(12).

Envelope
Mode
Settings:
NO-SUS/SUS
This determines
how
the
Rhythm Tone
will sound.
When
this
is
set to
NO-SUS,
the time
from
the sustain level (L3)
to
the
key
off point
is
ignored by the
TVA
evnelope of
the
Rhythm
Tone, and
the
decay
starts
immediately.
The
sound
stops
sounding
after a certain
time (Tl
+
T2
+
T3

T4).
When
this
is
set to
SUS,
the
Rhythm Tone
can be
muted by releasing the key played, since the sustain level
is
maintained
until
the
key
off point.
