Value Explanation
Adjusts the Resonance for the patch or rhythm set assigned to a part.
Patches also have a Resonance Offset setting (p. 91). The final Resonance value is
-64–+63
the sum of the tone Resonance value and the patch and part Resonance Offset
values. If the tone's resonance is already set to "127" (maximum), there will be no
change produced by setting the resonance offset to a positive value.
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Attack Time for the patch or rhythm set assigned to
a part.
Patches also contain the Attack Offset setting (p. 91). The final TVA Envelope
-64–+63
attack time value is therefore the sum of the tone's TVA Envelope Time 1 setting,
the patch's Attack Time Offset, and the part's Attack Time Offset. If the tone's Time
1 parameter is already set to "127" (maximum), there will be no change
produced by setting the Attack Time Offset to a positive value.The same applies to
the TVF envelope.
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Release Time for the patch or rhythm set assigned to
a part.
Patches also contain a Release Offset setting (p. 91). The final TVA Envelope
-64–+63
release time value is therefore the sum of the tone's TVA Envelope Time 4 setting,
the patch's Release Time Offset, and the part's Release Time Offset. If the tone's
Time 4 parameter is set to "127" (maximum), there will be no change in the
Release Time Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.The same applies to
the TVF envelope.
Adjusts the TVA/TVF Envelope Decay Time for the patch or rhythm set assigned to
-64–+63
a part.
Sets how the Patch's notes play. The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo
instrument Patch such as sax or flute.
MONO:
MONO, POLY,
POLY:
PAT
PAT:
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
Turn this parameter "ON" when you want to use the Legato feature and "OFF"
when you don't.
Legato is a feature that works only when the Mono/Poly is MONO. When Legato
is ON, pressing one key when another is already pressed causes the currently play-
ing note's pitch to change to that of the newly pressed key while continuing to
OFF, ON, PAT
sound. This can be effective when you wish to simulate performance techniques
such as a guitarist's hammering on and pulling off strings. When PAT is selected,
the Patch's own settings take effect.
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
Specify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this parameter "ON" when you
want to apply Portamento and "OFF" when you don't. If you want to use the Porta-
mento Switch setting of the patch assigned to the part, set this to "PAT."
OFF, ON, PAT
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will change.
Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time. If you
want to use the Portamento Time setting of the patch assigned to the part, set this to
0–127, PAT
"PAT."
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is assigned.
For each part, adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which the pitch is modulated).
-64–+63 The pitch will be modulated more rapidly for higher settings, and more slowly with
lower settings.
Only one note sounds at a time.
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
The Part uses the Patch's Mono/Poly setting.
