[Other
Parameters]
CH
(Receive Channel)
This
is
"the receive
channel
of
each
voice group.
When
it
is
set to Off,
no
MIDI message
is
received, therefore
no
sound
is
generated.
To
minimize the delays,
turn off
the voice
groups which are not
in use.
When
editing a
Tone
or
Patch, set the
transmit
channel
of
the
connected MIDI device
to
the
same
as the receive
channel
of
voice
group
A. In
this
way, you can
hear the sound
of
the Patch or
Tone
being
edited.
Patch (Patch
played
by
a
Voice
Group)
This
is
the
Patch played
by each voice group.
*You
can
select a
Patch you
like
by using
Program Change messages
sent
from
an external
MIDI device.
To
do
this,
set
the Receive
Switch
[P.Chg]
to
"On"
in
[Message]
menu
of
the MIDI
mode.
How
the
Program
Change numbers correspond
to
the Patch
numbers can be
checked and
changed,
if
you
like,
with [Prog
#]
of
MIDI
mode.
Level
(Volume of a Voice
Group)
This
sets the
volume
of
the voice group.
*You
can
change
this
parameter with the
volume messages sent
from
an
external
MIDI device.
To
do
so,
set the receive
switch [Vol] to
"On" with
[Message]
menu
in
the
MIDI mode.
*
There are
some more parameters
related to
volume control.
The volume
of
each key
is
determined by
the following
six
parameters.
1.
Position of the
Volume Knob
2.
Voice
group
level
set here
(Received
MIDI
Volume)
3.
Level of
the Patch assigned
to the voice
group
(see
page 103)
4.
Level of
the
Tone assigned
in
the Patch (see
page 73)
5.
TVA
Envelope level of
the
Tone
assigned
in
the
Patch (see page 93)
6.
Strength of
keyboard playing (see
page 94 "Level
Curve")
All
volume controlling
is
done
by
directly
affecting digital
data, therefore
raising
the
volume automatically
widens
the
dynamic range, allowing delicate
and
realistic
volume changes.
Set the output volume
of
the S
—
330
as high
as possible and adjust
it
on the mixer or amplifer.
