2–3: Pitch
1–1a
1–1b
2–3a
Here you can make pitch-related settings for each
timbre.
2–3a: Pitch
Timbre 01
Transpose
Adjusts the pitch of each timbre in semitone steps.
12 units equal one octave.
When Status (0–1b, 2–1a) is INT, this parameter will
affect the pitches sounded by the OASYS. When
Status is EXT, this parameter will affect the note
numbers of the MIDI note messages that are
transmitted.
For example if you make settings of +04 and +07
respectively for two timbres that are set to EXT,
playing the C key will transmit a C note number on
the global MIDI channel, and at the same time will
also transmit E and G note numbers on the MIDI
channels of those timbres.
Detune (Use BPM Adj. in Page Menu)
Adjusts the pitch of each timbre in one-cent units.
+0000: Normal pitch.
Note: You can also use the Detune BPM Adjust menu
command to alter a loop's tempo via detuning. Since
this will alter the pitch of the loop along with the
tempo, it's generally suited only to un-pitched
percussive loops. For more information, see "Detune
BPM Adjust" on page 408.

Combination P2: Timbre Parameters
Transpose and Detune can be controlled via MIDI
RPN messages. The way that this works depends on
whether or not the Timbre uses an HD-1 Drum
Program.
If the Timbre does not use an HD-1 Drum Program–
for example, if it uses a Single or Double HD-1
Program, or an EXi Program–then MIDI RPN
Coarse Tune will control Transpose, and RPN Fine
Tune will control Detune.
If the Timbre uses an HD-1 Drum Program, MIDI
RPN Coarse Tune and Fine Tune will be combined
to control Detune. The overall range is ±1 octave for
coarse tune and fine tune together.
Bend Range
Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur
when the pitch bender is operated, in semitones.
PRG: The pitch range specified by the program will be
used.
–24...+24: This setting will be used regardless of the
setting in the program.
The MIDI RPN Pitch Bend Change message can be
received to control this and change the setting.
(However it will not be received if this parameter is
set to PRG.) This message is received on the MIDI
channel for each timbre set by MIDI Channel (2–
1a). (See KARMA "Transmit MIDI Filter," "Pitch
Bend" 7–2a)
Use Program's Scale
Timbre can use the scale that is specified by Scale
(Program 1–1c).
On (checked): The scale specified by the program will
be used.
