SENSITIVITY, AND PITCH BEND RANGE
SENSITIVITY, AND PITCH BEND RANGE
Voice Set, Touch Sensitivity, and Pitch Bend Range are three important
voice-related parameters, and are found in the Function parameters.
When Voice Set (described in greater detail below) is set to on, you can
automatically call up a variety of voice-related settings that best suit the
selected voice.
Touch Sensitivity (also described below) gives you dynamic, expressive
control over the voices by letting you set how the volume of the DJX
responds to your playing strength.
Pitch Bend Range lets you set the amount of pitch change when using the
PITCH BEND wheel. (See page 7.)
Function Parameters — Voice Set, Touch Sensitivity and Pitch Bend Range
Selecting and changing the Function parameters:
Press the FUNCTION button, then use the numeric keypad to select the parameter number.

PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE
Description
When this is set to on, selecting a voice also automatically
calls up special voice-related parameters and values that best
suit the voice. The parameters included in Voice Set are:
• Main Voice — Volume, Octave, Pan
• Dual Voice — Number, Volume, Octave, Pan,
Reverb Send Level, Chorus Send Level, DSP
Send Level
• Arpeggiator — Type, On/Off
Use the panel ARPEGGIATOR and DUAL buttons to turn the
respective functions on or off.
A setting of "1" results in limited touch response; this
setting produces a relatively narrow dynamic range, no
matter how lightly or strongly you play the keys. "2" lets
you play over a normal dynamic range (soft to loud), while
"3" is designed for playing very soft passages, giving you
slightly more detailed control in the soft volume range.
This determines the amount that pitch is raised or lowered
when using the PITCH BEND wheel. At the minimum
setting, moving the PITCH BEND wheel up or down
changes the pitch by a maximum of 1 semitone or half-step
in either direction. At the maximum setting of 12, pitch is
changed over a range of one octave (12 semitones). The
PITCH BEND wheel affects only the voices played in the
PERFORMANCE section of the keyboard.
