Press
SW3
briefly to
get out
of
the
TUNE
mode
and back
to the
PLAY
mode.
The
LED
Display
will
now
whow
the voice
number
selected for this
module.
(i)
Return
to
paragraph
(f)
and
repeat the tuning procedure
for
the other
seven
modules.
Do
not
tune them
all
to zero,
however.
We
suggest
trying the
fol-
lowing seven
setting
(in
any
order
you
wish):
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
and
21.
(i)
Upon
playing the
DX7
again,
you should
now
find a drastic
improvement
or
"enlargement"
of the sound,
a
more
orchestral feeling created
by each
voice
being
slightly
out
of
tune with
the others, just as
in
a real orchestra.
You
can
go on
to
experiment with
different
tunig settings
for different effects.
Switching
sll
modules
to the
same
voice while
detuned shows
you
clearly
the
"chorus"
possibilities of
this
detuning
function.
You
can do
this right
now
by simply
selecting another voice
on
the
DX7.
As
all
modules
are
in
"COMMON",
they
will
all
now
switch
to the
same
voice. Notice
how
the detuning
effect
works
differently
on
percussive voices and
sustained,
wind
voices. Percussive voices can ususlly take
a
lot
more
detunig.
NOTE:
With
the
TX216
the
chorus
effect
produced by
detunig
will
not be
as
rich
and
full,
ad
there are
pnly
two
voice modules. However, you can
use the audio
output
of
the
DX7
to
add
a third voice,
which
will
immediately
give a
"thicker",
more
vibrant
effect.
(K) Here's
another experiment you can
try;
Keyborad
splitting
as
you've never
heard
it
before.
First
of
all,
set
each
module
to
a different
voice again (see
paragraphs
(c) to
(e),
above).
(I)
Set
all
modules
to
the
Edit
mode
by
holding
down

until

which
is
the next
mode
after
the Play
mode.
You
will
soon
get the
hang
of pressing
SW3
on
all
eight
modules
at
the
same
time
when,
as
in
this case,
you have
to
make
the
same change on
all
eight
modules.
