Chapter 3 Giving Variation to Pattern
• VELO (VELOCITY)
* *Before operating "QTZ Group" parameters or "ARP Group"
parameters,turn on the Quantize or Arpeggiator functions
respectively.
ENV (ENVELOPE) Group:
PITCH ENVELOPE
• P[A] (Attack Time = TIME1)
• P[D] (Decay Time = TIME3)
• P[S] (Sustain Level = LEVEL3)
• P[R] (Release Time = TIME4)
• P-DP (PITCH ENVELOPE DEPTH)
FILTER ENVELOPE
• F[A] (Attack Time = TIME1)
• F[D] (Decay Time = TIME3)
• F[S] (Sustain Level = LEVEL3)
• F[R] ([Release Time = TIME4)
• F-DP (FILTER ENVELOPE DEPTH)
AMP ENVELOPE
• A[A] (Attack Time = TIME1)
• A[D] (Decay Time = TIME3)
• A[S] (Sustain Level = LEVEL3)
• A[R] (Release Time = TIME4)
* The above TIME1, TIME3, LEVEL3, and TIME4 are envelope
parameters. For example, "P[A]" controls "TIME1" of the
pitch envelope.
What are A, D, S, and R of the
ENVELOPE?
These are parameters that determine time-variant
changes in the PITCH, FILTER, and AMP. As shown in
the diagram below, you can specify how change will
occur, from the time a key is pressed until it is released.

Chapter 6 "Creating original sounds" provides more
details on how to make envelope settings. For details
refer to pp. 89, 91, 94, and 104.

PTCH (PITCH) Group:
• CRSE (COARSE TUNE)
• FINE (FINE TUNE)
AMP (AMP) Group:
• LV (TONE LEVEL)
• PAN (TONE PAN)
• RND (RANDOM PAN SW)
PRTA (PORTAMENT) Group:
• SW (SWITCH)
• TIME (TIME)
• SOLO (SOLO)
LFO 1 Group:
RATE (LFO 1 RATE)
This is the procedure for restoring the settings of
Patterns as they were when called up after the knobs
have been used to change parameters with Realtime
Modify.
- During playback: After selecting a different Pattern
number, again select the number for the Pattern
currently being played back. Doing this returns the
performance back to the beginning of the Pattern,
restoring the settings present at the time the
Pattern was called up.
• When stopped: After selecting a different Pattern
number, select the number for the Pattern you
started with; the Pattern's previous settings are
restored.
Saving Assignable Knob settings
When you press the [EXIT] button in the "KNOB ASSIGN"
screen to close the screen, the contents that you set in
"Assigning and using parameters" will automatically be
saved in the user set of the number displayed in the screen.
(While the data is being saved, the display will indicate
"WRITING...")
* An asterisk "*" will be displayed before the number of a set
that has not been saved.
* The data will not be saved if you close the "KNOB ASSIGN"
screen while a song or pattern is playing. Stop playback before
you perform the operation.
