Assigning Parameters to the Knobs

You can assign the desired parameters to each track's [FILTER], [MOD],
and [FX] knobs, and use the knobs to control those parameters.

Operating the Unit

1 .
Press the [KNOB ASSIGN]
The KNOB ASSIGN screen appears.
Here you can make knob assignments for the current track.
2 .
Use the [C1]–[C3] knobs
Knob Explanation
C1 Specifies the [FILTER] knob assignment.
C2 Specifies the [MOD] knob assignment.
C3 Specifies the [FX] knob assignment.
Parameter list
Parameter Explanation
No Assign No assignment.
Level Adjusts volume.
Pan Adjusts pan.
Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch in units of one semitone.
(Tone, Drum only)
Fine Tune
Finely adjusts the pitch in units of one cent.
(Tone, Drum only)
Specifies whether portamento is applied. Specify "ON" to apply
Portament
(Tone only)
portamento, or "OFF" if not.
Specifies the time over which the pitch changes when using
Porta Time portamento. Larger values lengthen the time over which the
(Tone only)
pitch moves to the next note.
Adjusts the openness of the filter.
Cutoff
Larger values make the sound brighter, and smaller values make
(Tone, Drum only)
the sound darker.
Boosts the region of the sound near the cutoff frequency, adding
a distinctive character to the sound. Excessively raising this value
Resonance
may cause oscillation, distorting the sound.
(Tone, Drum only)
Larger values produce a stronger character, and smaller values
weaken the character.
Specifies the time from when the key is pressed until the sound
reaches the maximum.
Attack
(Tone, Drum only)
Larger values make the attack more gradual, and smaller values
make the attack sharper.
Specifies the time from when the attack is completed until the
volume decays.
Decay
(Tone, Drum only)
Larger values lengthen the time over which the volume decays,
and smaller values shorten the time.
Specifies the time from when the key is released until the sound
becomes inaudible.
Release
(Tone, Drum only)
Larger values produce a longer decay, and smaller values make
the sound crisper.
Adjusts the vibrato rate (the speed at which pitch is modulated).
Vib Rate
Larger values modulate the pitch more rapidly, and smaller values
(Tone only)
modulate it more slowly.
Adjusts the vibrato depth (the depth at which pitch is modulated).
Vib Depth
Larger values modulate the pitch more widely, and smaller values
(Tone only)
modulate the pitch less widely.
Adjusts the time until vibrato (pitch modulation) starts to be
applied.
Vib Delay
(Tone only)
Larger values lengthen the time until vibrato starts to be applied,
and smaller values shorten the time.
Oct Shift Shifts the pitch in units of one octave.

Parameter Explanation
Delay Send Specifies the send level of the total effect to the delay.
Reverb Send Specifies the send level of the total effect to the reverb.
Pitch Bend Uses the FILTER, MOD, or FX knob as pitch bender.
(Tone only)
Pitch Chrom
Specifies the pitch in semitone steps (maximum ±2 octaves).
(Looper only)
Pitch Fine Finely adjusts the pitch.
(Looper only)
Pitch Shift
Smoothly modifies the pitch in a wide range.
(Looper only)
OFF:
The sample plays forward.
Reverse
(Looper only)
ON: The sample plays backward.
Connects to a parameter specified by MATRIX CONTROL in
SOUND EDIT.
