Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR Displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the "Basic Procedure" on page 93. The Sound Creator
parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each dis-
play are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set
parameters (page 100), which are automatically called up when the Voice is
selected.
PIANO
This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 72) is selected.
TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve. Select "FLAT" if you feel the tuning
curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instru-
ments Voices.
STRETCH
Tuning curve particularly for pianos
FLAT
Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the
entire keyboard range
Adjusts the volume of the key-off sound (the subtle sound that
KEY OFF SAMPLE
occurs when you release a key).
SUSTAIN SAMPLE Adjusts the depth of sustain sampling for the damper pedal.
STRING RESONANCE Adjusts the depth of string resonance.
COMMON
VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity, or how greatly the volume responds to
your playing strength.
A setting of "0" produces more extreme drops in level, the more
softly you play, while a setting of "64" is normal response, and
"127" produces high volume for any playing strength (fixed).
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves.
When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the
R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the
LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available.
MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or
polyphonically (page 80).
Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to "MONO"

1. MODULATION
When a pedal function is assigned to MODULATION, the pedal can be used to
modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the
degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters.
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cut-
FILTER
off Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 95.
AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude
(volume).
LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or
the vibrato effect.
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter
LFO FMOD
modulation, or the wah effect.
LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude,
or the tremolo effect.
