Explanation
Specifies whether the tone will
play polyphonically (Poly) or
monophonically (Mono).
The Mono setting is effective
when playing a solo
instrument tone such as sax
or flute.
You can perform with each
zone transposed to a different
pitch.
When multiple zones are set
to on, you can create a richer
sound by setting the two Tones
to different octaves. Also, if the
Keyboard Mode is set to Split,
and you are playing a bass
Tone in the lower Part, you can
use the Transpose function to
play the bass at a lower pitch.
Set the keyboard range in
which each Zone will sound.
This can be used to make
notes in different areas of the
keyboard play different Tones.
Specify the lower limit (Rng Lo)
and upper limit (Rng Up) of the
key range being set.
You can also set this by
pressing a specific key and
then pressing the [ENTER]
button.
Specify the lower limit
(VR.LWR) and upper limit
(VR.UPR) of the range in which
the tone is played according
to how strongly the keys are
played (velocity). Make this
setting when you want the
tone to change depending on
the key velocity.
The time it takes after the key
is pressed for a sound to reach
full volume.
Higher values produce a milder
attack; lower values produce a
sharper attack.
This is the time over which the
volume decays after the attack
is finished.
The time it takes for the
volume to fall increases as the
value is raised; lowering the
value decreases the decay
time.
The time it takes after the
key is released for a sound to
become inaudible.
Higher values produce longer
decay; set lower values for a
clear-cut sound.

Modulation Depth
Explanation
Adjusts how much the filter is
opened.
Higher values brighten the
sound; lower values make the
sound seem darker.
Emphasizes the overtones
in the vicinity of the cutoff
frequency, adding character
to the sound. Excessively
high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound
to distort.
Higher values strengthen the
distinctive characteristics of
the sound; lower values reduce
these characteristics.
Turns portamento on/off.
Portamento is a function that
causes the pitch to change
smoothly from one note to the
next note played.
The Portamento Time setting
determines the time for the
change in pitch when the
portamento effect is applied to
the sound. Higher settings will
cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time.
Adjusts the pitch in semitone
steps (±4 octaves).
Adjusts the pitch in one-cent
steps (±50 cents).
1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone
Sets the amount of pitch
change to occur when you
move the Pitch Bend lever
(4 octaves).
(RPN: 00H/00H)
Sets the depth of the effect
when the Modulation lever is
tilted.
