Chapter 8 Parameter Guide

DYNAMIC

This function allows you use your playing dynamics to control the
volume of the mix of the two channels. The volume and balance of the
channels change according to the dynamics each time you pick the strings.
You can set the point at which the volume changes in the settings
screen as you check the dynamics level shown by the meter.
The A/B BAL setting is disabled when DYNAMIC is switched
on.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
DYNA SW (Dynamic Switch)
OFF, ON This setting switches DYNAMIC on and off.
TYPE
This sets the DYNAMIC type.
This setting determines the channel for which the volume is con-
trolled with the playing dynamics.
DYNA A Channel A's volume level is controlled.
The volume in Channel B is fixed.
DYNA B Channel B's volume level is controlled.
The volume in Channel A is fixed.
DYNA BAL The volume levels of both Channel A and
(DYNA Balance) Channel B (the balance) is controlled.
LOWER LEV (Lower Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the sounds played
softly. *1
You can adjust the A level when DYNA A is
used and the B level when DYNA B is used.
LOWER BAL (Lower Balance)
0:100–100:0 Adjusts the balance between Channel A and
B when sounds are played softly. *2
LOWER RNG (Lower Range)
0–99 This sets the point at which the strength of
the playing begins to change from the soft
sound's volume (or balance) to the louder
sounds' volume (or balance).
When the volume is below the set point, the
volume (or balance) switches to that set in
either LOWER LEV or LOWER BAL in ac-
cordance with the TYPE setting.
UPPER LEV (Upper Level)
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the sounds played
loudly. *1
You can adjust the A level when DYNA A is
used and the B level when DYNA B is used.
UPPER BAL (Upper Balance)
0:100–100:0 Adjusts the balance between Channel A and
B when sounds are played loudly. *2
UPPER RNG (Upper Range)
1–100 This sets the point at which the strength of
the playing begins to change from the loud
sound's volume (or balance) to the softer
sounds' volume (or balance).
When the volume is above the set point, the
volume (or balance) switches to that set in
either UPPER LEV or UPPER BAL in accor-
dance with the TYPE setting.

RELEASE
0–100 This adjust the rate of the response when the
input level drops.
*1 Setting available when TYPE is set to DYNA A or DYNA B.
*2 Setting available when TYPE is set to DYNA BAL.
With DYNAMIC, when a new note is detected, the peak level at
the instant the string is picked (i.e., the playing dynamics) is
held momentarily, and control of the channel volume or balance
is based on that value.
The playing dynamics controls the sound as described below.
• When the level is at or below the LOWER RNG setting, the
playing controls the volume or balance of the softer sounds set
in LOWER LEV (when TYPE is set to DYNA A or DYNA B) or
LOWER BAL (when TYPE is set to DYNA BAL).
• When the level is at or above the UPPER RNG setting, the
playing controls the volume or balance of the louder sounds set
in UPPER LEV (when TYPE is set to DYNA A or DYNA B) or
UPPER BAL (when TYPE is set to DYNA BAL).
• When the level is between these settings, the playing controls
the volume or balance between the softer sounds and louder
sounds described above (continuously changing the level
according to the dynamics).
Changes made to the above parameters are indicated in the
graph in the settings screen.

When TYPE is set to DYNA BAL

Changes made to the above parameters are indicated in the
graph in the settings screen.
The input level and held peak input level are indicated beneath
the graph display. Making these settings is easier by actually
playing the strings as you watch the meter and adjust the
LOWER RNG and UPPER RNG settings.
In addition, you can confirm the volume/balance control status
with the fader displayed to the right of the graph.
