specify the same mute group number for both hi-hat sounds.

Changing the Pitch (PITCH and
ENVELOPE)
In "PITCH:" you can make settings that affect the pitch.
In "P-ENV:" you can make settings to specify how the pitch
of the percussion instrument will change over time.
Procedure
1. Press the [PTN] button.
2. Press [PART SELECT] then, Press [R] part buttons to
select the part R.
3. Press [F1 (PACH)] and [F1 (EDIT)] button, in that order.
4. The menu screen for rhythm set editing appears.
5. Press the [CURSOR (up)] button.
6. Press the [F2 (PICH)] button.
7. To edit parameters in the "PITCH:", press [F1 (PICH)]
button. To edit parameters in the "P-ENV:", press [F2
(PENV)] button.
One of the editing screens appears.
8. Press the [F3 (
)]/[F4 (
parameter to be edited.
9. Press an appropriate keyboard pad to select the key for
which you want to define the parameter.
(You can listen to the sound to confirm which tone is
selected.)
10. Specify a value using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/
DEC] buttons.
11. After the value is specified, press the [EXIT] button to
return to the previous screen.
Parameters that can be set

and contents of the respective parameters.
PITCH parameters
PITCH: COARSE TUNE
Adjust the pitch of each tone in semitone steps.
Higher settings will raise the pitch. Lower settings will lower
the pitch.
Range: -60– +60 semitones
PITCH: FINE TUNE
You can adjust the pitch of each tone in 1-cent steps (1/100th
of a semitone).
The greater value, the higher the pitch, and the smaller value,
the lower the pitch.
Range: -50– +50
PITCH: RANDOM PITCH
This applies a degree of randomness to the pitch of each note.
As this value is increased, a greater degree of randomness
will be applied. As this value is decreased, there will be less
randomness.
With a value of "0" there will be no effect.
Range: 0–1200
P-ENV (PITCH ENVELOPE) parameters
P-ENV: ENV DEPTH (ENVELOPE DEPTH)
Here's how you can adjust the depth of the Pitch Envelope.
Increasingly positive (+) settings will produce a greater
width of pitch change. Negative (-) settings will invert the
shape of the envelope, causing the pitch to change in the
opposite direction.
Range: -12– +12
P-ENV: VELO SENS (VELOCITY SENS)
This setting lets you control the Pitch Envelope depth by the
velocity.
With positive (+) settings, the pitch will change more greatly
as you play the keyboard more strongly. With negative (-)
settings, the pitch will change less as you play the keyboard
more strongly.
When TIME is set to a positive (+) value, softly-played notes
will have little pitch change, and strongly-played notes will
have greater pitch change; this lets you simulate "the pitch
instability at the beginning of each note" that is characteristic
of wind instruments.
Range: -100– +150
