parameters
that
have
a
large
data range, the
+1 and -1 switches
permit precise
step-wise
location of
a specific value.
The
switches
are also easier to
use with
parameters
that
only
have
two
values-
-e.g.
ON
(1
)
or
OFF
(0). In
some
cases
you
will
be
required to
answer
YES
or
NO
to
prompts which
will
appear
on
the
LCD
display.
The
~1
/NO/OFF
and
+1
/YES/ON
switches
are
used
for
this.
in
the following
we'll
take
a
detailed look
at
each
function
contained
in
the
TUNE
and PERF.
MEMORY
PARAMETER
groups
(B1
through
P3),
how
it
is
programmed,
and what
it
does.
The
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
and MIDI
job
groups
will
be
described
in
chapters
VllI
and
IX,
respectively.
For
simplicity,
each
job
will
be
specified
by
its
switch
and
job
numbers
as follows:
B3-J2,
for
example,
specifies
the
second
job {J2)
called
by
the
B3 switch--PlTCH
BEND
STEP.
If
you're not
sure
how
to
access
and
enter data
into
the various function
jobs,
go
back and
read
1,
2
and
3,
above.
Please note
that
when
you program any
of
the
PERF.
MEMORY
PARAMETERS
described below, the
programmed
changes
reside
in
a special
performance
edit
buffer
memory
which
is
separate
from
the
64
selectable
performance memories.
Data
In
the
performance
edit buffer affects
the currently selected
voices.
When
a
,<r,
^
performance
memory
is
selected,
for
example,
the
performance
data
it
contains
is
^^
sent
to the
performance
edit buffer
where
it
affects
the
corresponding
voices. Edited
performance
memory
parameters
must
therefore
be
stored
in
the appropriate
per-
formance
memory
location as
they
will
be
erased
from
the
performance
edit buffer
the next time
a
performance
memory
is
selected.
Storing edited
performance
pa-
rameters
is
discussed
in
CHAPTER

B1'J1:

This
is
the
DX5
MASTER TUNE
function.
All
voices
in
both channels
A
and
B
are
affected
simultaneoulsy,
and
MASTER TUNE
data
cannot be
stored
in
the
per-
formance memory.
The programmable
data
range
is
from -63
to
+63.
When
set to
+0
the
pitch of
A3
is
the standard
440
Hz.
At the lowest
setting of
-64
the
overall pitch of
the
^^^^
keyboard
is
75
cents (3/4 semitone) lower than standard
pitch,
and
at
the highest
'
W
setting of
+63
the
overall pitch
of the
keyboard
is
75
cents higher than standard
pitch.
The
MASTER TUNE
function
does
not
affect
operators
which
are set to
the
FIXED
FREQUENCY
mode
{see
CHAPTER
VI:
PROGRAMMING
VOICES).
B1-J2:
DUAL
MODE
DETUNE
This function
makes
it
possible to
detune
the pitches
of
channels
A
and B
to create
chorus-type
effects.
DUAL
MODE
DETUNE
only functions
when
the
key assign
mode
is
set to
DUAL.
The
data
range
is
from
to 15.
At
no
detune
effect
is
produced.
The
greatest
(deepest)
detune
effect--a pitch difference
between
channels
A
and B
of
ap-
proximately
1/4
semitone--is achieved with
a setting of 15.
The
detune
effect
is
produced by
simultaneously
increasing the pitch
of
channel
A
while decreasing
the
pitch of
channel
B.
This function
will
not
affect
operators
which
are set to
the
FIXED
FREQUENCY
mode, and
can be
set
independently
of
the
OSCILLATOR DETUNE
function (see
CHAPTER
VI:
PROGRAMMING
VOICES).
