Level Scaling (0-99)
High
notes
on an
acoustic
instrument tend
to
have
a less
complex
tone than
low
notes.
You
can
use Level Scaling
to
simulate
this
by
decreasing
the
output
level
of
a
mo-
dulator as
you
play
up
the
keyboard. (Level Scaling
operates
on
a
curve
starting
from
about
Ci.)
When
LS
is 0,
the
operator output
level
will
be
the
same
for
all
notes.
When
LS
is
99, the
output
level will
have dropped
to
by
the
lime you
get to the
top of
the
keyboard.
long
as
you
continue pressing them),
and
in
PERLORMANCE
mode, up
to
5
notes will
be
remembered.

Pitch
Bend Range
(0—12)
This determines the range
(0
12 semitones) of the pitch
bend
effect.
When
set to 12,
the Pitch
wheel
will
have
a
maximum
effect
of
one
octave
up
or
down.
When
set
to
0,
the Pilch
wheel
will
have no
effect.

Transpose
(
+
24)
The
voice can
be transposed up
or
down
2 octaves
in
steps
of
a
semitone.
The
next
key you
press after selecting
this
parameter
will
be the
new
transpose point (within
2
octaves of middle
C).
You may
also
use the
Data Entry
slider to set
the
transpose
point.
The
display indicates
the
note
that
will
actually
be
sounded
when
the middle
C
key
is
pressed.
[20]
Poly/Mono
Poly
Mode:
In
SINGLE
mode,
the
voice
will
play
up
to 8
notes simultaneously;
and
in
PERFORMANCE
mode,
the
voice
will
play as
many
notes as
permitted
in the
"Max
Notes"
setting for that instrument
(p.
16). If
there
are not
enough
notes available, the oldest note
will
be
turned off
to
'make room'
for the
newly
played
note.
See
EG
Damp,
p.23)
Mono
Mode: Only
the
most
recent note
you
press
will
be
sounded. This can be
desirable
when
playing
solos. Also,
Mono
Mode
gives
you
a
choice of
portamento
(see [22]
Portamento Mode).
A Max
Notes
(p.
18) setting
of
1
is
not
quite the
same
as
Mono
mode.
In
Mono
mode,
a
note played before
the
previous one
is
released
will
not re-trigger the en-
velope,
and
the
decay
will
continue
from
the previous
note.
However
in
Poly
mode,
each note
starts
its
envelope
from
the
beginning even
if
the
previous note has not been
released.
Thus,
if
you want
to
have
only
one note
sounding
at a
time, but
want
each note to re-trigger the
envelope, use Poly
mode
and
set
Max
Notes
to
L
Note:
If
you
play
a
note
in
Mono Mode
without
re-
leasing the
previous note,
and
then release the
second note, the
sound
will
"jump
back'" to the
previous
note. In
SINGLE
mode, up
to
8
of
these
previous notes
will
be
remembered
(as
[22]
Portamento
Mode
There
are
two
modes
oi'
Portamento
(the ''glide"
between
notes),
but
you have a choice only
in
Mono
Mode.
If
Poly
Mode
is
selected, this will
always be
"Full
Time
Portamento".
Fingered Portamento: Portamento
is
applied only
if
you
press
a note before releasing the previous one.
Fingered
Por-
tamento cannot be switched
off. If
you
don't
want
tof^
have Portamento,
set the
Portamento
Time
to (see
below).
Full
Time Portamento: Portamento
is
applied
between
all
notes.
This can be turned
on
or off by
a
footswitch
connected to the rear panel
FS
jack.
[23]
Portamento
Time
(0—99)
This
sets
the
speed of the "glide"
effect
between
notes.
When
Portamento
Time
is
at 99, a
three-octave glide
will
take
about 30 seconds.
Portamento Time
of
1
is
the
fastest glide.
When
Portamento Time
is
at 0,
there
will
be
no ghde.
If
you
don't
want
a voice
to
have portamento,
set
the
Portamento Time
to
0.

Foot Switch
Assign
A
on/off type controller
(FC4
or
FC5)
plugged
into the
rear panel
FS
jack
can
control either Sustain
On/Off
j^
or
Portamento On/Off
for the voice.
In
Performance mode,
the
first
voice
in
the per-
formance
memory
will
determine the
Foot
Switch
as-
signment.
CONTROLLER
PARAMETERS
Parameters
25—28
allow you
to regulate the
amount
of
LFO
modulation
using
continuous-type
controllers
connected
(or
built into) the
DXI
1
.
The
diagram on
p,8 explains
how
these
control
LFO
modulation.
Each parameter can
be
set
between
and
99.
When
it
is
set to
0,
the position
of
the controller
will
have no
effect
on
the
amount
of
LFO
modulation.
For example,
when
the
FC
Volume
setting
is
at
99, the
volume
of the voice
will
be regulated completely by
the
Foot
Controller.
Thus,
when
the
Foot
Controller pedal
is
at
mi-
nimum
position, there will
be
no
sound,
and
when
the
FC
Volume
setting
is
at
some
middle value such
as 50, there
will
