Chapter 6 Making Original Patches
You can create desired patches by changing various
parameters for creating tones (tone parameters). This
operation is referred to as patch editing (or rhythm editing).
With this operation, you can set up specific parameters for
each tone and rhythm tone.
Editing Patches
You can think of a patch as an element equivalent to a single
musical instrument. In order to give more tone diversity to
patches, the patch playback function is configured to enable
combined playback of four basic timbres, referred to as tones.
Thus, a patch that achieves playback of a piano-strings
ensemble can be developed, for instance.
Changing the Basic Waveform of
the Sound (WAVE/FXM)
In the WAVE/FXM, you can make settings related to the
waveform that is the basis for a synthesizer's sound. FXM
(Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specific waveform to
apply frequency modulation to the selected waveform,
creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating
dramatic sounds or sound effects.
Procedure
1. Press the [PTN] button.
2. Press [PART SELECT] then, Press one of the [1] to [7]
part buttons to select the part to be edited.
3. Press [F1 (PACH)] and [F1 (EDIT)] button, in that order.
The menu screen for rhythm set editing appears.
4. Press the [CURSOR (up)] button.
5. Press the [F1 (WAVE)] button.
6. To edit the parameters in the "WAVE:", press [F1
(WAVE)] button. To edit the parameters in the "FXM",
press [F2 (FXM)] button.
One of the editing screens appears.
7. Press the [F3 (
)]/[F4 (
parameter to be edited.
88
)] buttons to select the
8. Press the [CURSOR (right/left)] buttons to move the
cursor below the tone number (T-1 to T-4) for which you
want to define the parameter.
9. Specify a value using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/
DEC] buttons.
10. After the value is specified, press the [EXIT] button to
return to the previous screen.
Parameters that can be set
- WAVE: WAVE, TONE SWITCH and GAIN
- FXM: SWITCH, COLOR and DEPTH
* See the following sections for descriptions of the setting ranges
and contents of the respective parameters.
WAVE parameters
WAVE:
You can make settings related to the waveform that is the
basis for a synthesizer's sound.
And you can select a waveform, the basis of the sound, for
each tone.
Selection of the basic waveform is the fundamental part of
sound creation. It is recommended that a tone as close as
possible to the one you envision be selected.
Range: A001–A254, B001–B251, C001–C236
When this setting screen is displayed, you can press the
[RHYTHM PART VIEW] button to switch to a screen that
displays the wave name of the currently selected tone.
To return to the original screen, press the [RHYTHM
PART VIEW] button once again.
* This function cannot be used if the System setting "RHY
VIEW" (P. 122) is set to "MUTE CTRL."Switch the setting
to "NORMAL" before you use this.
* If you would like to know what waveforms are available...
- > "Waveform List"(P. 167)
WAVE: TONE SWITCH
Turn this "ON" if you want the tone to sound, or "OFF" if
you do not want the tone to sound.
In order to make the best use of the available polyphony,
unused tones should be turned "OFF."
Range: OFF, ON
