Pan Programs; N 33. Pan; N 34. Triggered Pan - Yamaha SPX900 Operation Manual

Playback End Point (END): 0 – 1350.0 milliseconds
This parameter determines at what point playback will end. If
the END point is set to a time earlier than the START point
(above), the sampled sound will be played back in reverse.
Playback Pitch (PITCH): -24 – +24
Determines the pitch of the playback sound in semitone
increments. PITCH can be varied from two octaves below
(-24) to two octaves above (+24) the original pitch of the
sampled sound.
Playback Pitch Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE):
-100 – +100
Permits fine tuning of the playback pitch in one-cent
increments (a cent is 1/100th of a semitone).
Playback Loop Point (LOOP): 0 – 1350.0
milliseconds
This parameter sets the "Loop" point of the sampled sound.
Playback is immediately resumed from the LOOP point as
soon as the END point is reached. The sampled sound will
therefore play continuously as long as the trigger is held ON.
Loop Fine Adjust (LOOP FINE): -200 – +200
This parameter allows fine adjustment of the LOOP point,
making it possible to create the smoothest transition between
the END and LOOP points.

PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6
This parameter sets the "BASE KEY" for an external MIDI
synthesizer used to control pitched playback of the sampled
sound (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be
connected to the SPX900 MIDI IN terminal, and the SPX900
must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on which the
synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example. the BASE KEY
parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer
(C3 is one octave lower than C4) will cause the sampled
sound to play one octave lower than its normal pitch. If a key
more than two octaves higher or lower than the BASE KEY is
pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be within
the -24 to +24 range, as shown in the illustration below. If the
BASE KEY parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot be controlled
via the MIDI IN terminal.

PAN PROGRAMS

n 33. PAN

n 34. TRIGGERED PAN

There are two Pan Programs:
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
n 33. PAN
This is a very sophisticated pan program that allows creation
of "rotary" pan in addition to straightforward pan effects.
