Groups)
Using the
EGCOPY
Button
In the fractional scaling parameter LCD display, you will see note names separated with
right-pointing arrows. Each note name is the lowest note of a key group. The number
appearing below each note name represents the scaling value for that key group.
0 Minimum level scaling when keys in the selected key group are played.
2 55 Maximum level scaling when keys in the selected key group are played.
Key groups are selected using the Fractiona1/Micro Tune Key Set buttons (also labeled
Internal and Cartridge). The note name in the center of the display is selected for editing
its key group scaling value. The notes representing adjacent key groups appear to the right
and left of the selected note name. The scaling value is edited using the
+
1/-1 buttons or
the data entry slider. Should you wish to jump to an entirely different key group, press and
hold either of the Key Set buttons and press a key corresponding to the desired key group.
With nine EG parameters and many more keyboard scaling parameters to adjust for each
operator, setting this data for several operators can be quite a chore. In many cases,
however, identical or nearly identical data can be used for most, or all, of the operators in
an algorithm. Once the EG and scaling parameters for one operator are set, you can copy
these values to any other operator using the EG COPY button. This is an extremely handy
procedure as you will learn when you start creating your own voices.
For example, while displaying the fractional scaling data for operator 1, press and hold
the EG COPY button; you will see the message "EG & Scaling Copy OP1 to OP?'' Select
the desired destination operator by pressing one of the OPERATOR SELECT lEG COPY
buttons (#2-6). Releasing the EG COPY button completes the operation .
