Changing How a Tone Is Sounded
(TMT)
You can use the force with which keys are played, or MIDI messages
to control the way each Tone is played. This is referred to as the Tone
Mix Table (TMT).
For details on these settings, refer to "How to Make Patch
Settings" (p. 46).
Patch TMT
Structure Type 1 & 2, 3 & 4
Determines how tone 1 and 2, or tone 3 and 4 are connected.
Value: 1–10
The following 10 different Types of combination are available.
fig.06-014
TYPE 1
TONE 1 (3) WG
TONE 2 (4) WG
With this type, tones 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) are independent. Use this
type when you want to preserve PCM sounds or create and combine
sounds for each tone.

TYPE 2
TONE 1 (3) WG
TONE 2 (4) WG

This type stacks the two filters together to intensify the
characteristics of the filters. The TVA for tone 1 (or 3) controls the
volume balance between the two tones.
fig.06-016
TYPE 3
WG
TONE 1 (3)
