Part Parameters for Sound Editing

On the SC-8820, you can modify the values of a variety of parameters in order to cre-
ate the sound most suitable for your playing. Sound parameters affect the volume,
timbre and pitch of the sound.

The Function of Each Parameter

On the SC-8820, parameter settings are made for each Part. In other words, parame-
ter values belong to Parts, and not to sounds (Instruments). For example, if you set
Vibrato Rate to +20 and then select a different sound for that Part, the Vibrato Rate
of +20 will apply to the newly selected sound (not the initial value of +/-0). In this
way, parameters belonging to Parts are called Part parameters.

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect created by modulating the pitch. Applying vibrato makes the
sound more expressive.
Vib Rate (Vibrato Rate)
This parameter adjusts the speed (frequency) of the pitch modulation. Positive (+)
settings make the pitch modulation faster, and negative (-) settings make it slower.
Vib Depth (Vibrato Depth)
This parameter adjusts the depth of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make
the pitch modulation deeper, and negative (-) settings make it shallower.
Vib Delay (Vibrato Delay)
This parameter adjusts the time required for the vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+)
settings increase the time before vibrato will begin, and negative (-) settings shorten
the time.
