Menu 2 Part Edit
(part settings)

2-1 Keyboard Map

Specifies the keyboard status of each part. When you play a sample
via MIDI, this parameter will determine how the sample is sounded.
Available Settings:
Phrase Map
The sample will be sounded at a pitch that corresponds to the note
number.
Example: When using a vocal sample of "Here comes VariPhrase,"
the pitch will change depending on the key that you play.
fig.keymap
"Here comes VariPhrase"
Groove Map
The sample will be divided into musical segments at the location of
events, and each segment ("slice") of the waveform is assigned to
successive note numbers (semitone steps beginning at C3) for
playing.
Example: When using a vocal sample of "Here comes VariPhrase,"
separate slices will be played by the keys C3 and above.

2-2 Voice Reserve

Specifies the number of voices that will be reserved for each part if the
maximum polyphony of the VariOS (14 voices) is exceeded.
Available Settings: 0–14
* It is not possible for the total values of all parts to exceed 14.

2-3 Tempo Sync

Specifies whether the playback speed of the samples assigned to each
part will be synchronized to the master tempo or external clock (ON),
or not synchronized (OFF).
Available Settings: OFF, ON
If the master tempo (p. 57) is set to more than four times greater than
the original tempo of the sample, the sample cannot be synchronized
to the master tempo.

2-4 Pitch Sync

Specifies whether the master coarse tune and master fine tune (p. 120)
of the VariOS performance will be enabled for each part (ON) or
disabled (OFF). For example, if you want to adjust the tuning of the
entire song, but do not want to change the pitch of the rhythm part,
you can turn pitch sync "OFF" for the rhythm part.
Available Settings: OFF, ON
