2.PUYING A
PERFORMANCE
Parameters
Available
for
Realtime Control
The parameters which can be
controlled while
you
are playing
in
the
Performance Play
mode
are roughly
divided
into
three categories.
These
are parameters
which
are
related to
the overall sound, such
as the
volume and
the fixed stereo position
of
the
Part.
They
are not
parameters of
the
Patch
itself,
but are parameters of a Part that apply relative
changes
to settings
such
as
level,
pan and
pitch,
which
are already
set
for the Patch.
-^ By
controlling the
Volume
for
each
Part,
you
can
mix
the
sounds
just
as
you would
with an eight-channel mixer.
It
is
possible to adjust the
dynamic
balance of
the
sounds by increasing the
level
of
the Part
which
plays the
melody
or
rhythm, for example.
You
can also finely adjust the relative levels of
all
the Parts to create a
well-balanced ensemble
sound.
The
function can also
be
used for fading Parts
in
and out or
for
muting
them.
^
The
sound image moves
left
and
right
when
the
pan
function
is
operated.
This
is
particularly effective for lead
lines,
or
in creating a
sense of space by sweeping
effect
sounds
to the
left
and
right.
Assign
the placement
of the
sound
of
each
Part
by
setting the y-N.
level
and
the pan.

There
are
two pitch-related
functions.
One
changes the pitch
in
units
of
a
semitone
(Coarse Tune)
and
the
other changes
the pitch
in units
of 1/100 of a semitone
(Fine Tune). These
can be used
to
temporarily
change
the
tuning or
to adjust
the pitch of
the selected
Patch
relative to the other
Pails.
They can be
also
used
to
create a chorus
effect
by changing
the pitch
continuously, or
to
make
special effect
sounds.
You
can even use
this instead
of
the
pitch bender, by
adjusting the Fine
Tune
control as
you
play.

We
suggest
that
you use

to
