Tone Delay Mode
NORM:
The tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay Time pa-
rameter has elapsed.
No Tone Delay
Delay time
Note on Note off
OFFN:
Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to
play once the period of time specified in the Delay Time parameter has
elapsed after release of the key. This is effective in situations such as
when simulating noises from guitars and other instruments.

• If you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is not
released), selecting "OFFN" or "OFFD" may result in no sound being heard.
• If you don't wish to use Tone Delay, set Tone Delay to "NORM" and Tone Delay Time to "0."
If the Str Type (p. 93) set in the range of "2"–"10," the output of tones 1 and 2 will be combined into tone 2, and the output of
tones 3 and 4 will be combined into tone 4. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the
settings of tone 4.
Value Explanation
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation.
1–4 Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
0–16
★ You can use matrix control to modify this. (p. 95)
Selects the type of tone delay.
Tone Delay
This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or re-
leased), and the moment the tone actually begins to sound. You can also
NORM, HOLD,
make settings that shift the timing at which each tone is sounded. This differs
OFFN, OFFD
from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound qualities
of the delayed tones and changing the pitch for each tone, you can also per-
form arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.
You can also synchronize the tone delay time to the tempo of the external
MIDI sequencer.

HOLD:
Although the tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay
Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is released before the time spec-
ified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed, the tone is not played.

OFFD:
Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to
play once the period of time specified in the Delay Time parameter has
elapsed after release of the key. Here, however, changes in the TVA
Envelope begin while the key is pressed, which in many cases means
that only the sound from the release portion of the envelope is heard.
