PROGRAM SOUND

Here you can make settings for a program’s sound.
Parameters other than COMMON, IFX, CHORUS, and REVERB are

edited for each individual part.
In the edit screen for each part, the upper right corner of the LCD

shows

“P1”

–

“P4”

to indicate the part whose settings you’re seeing

(P1 is part 1).
At this time, you can use the panel buttons 1–4 to select (switch

between) parts 1–4. The button of the selected part blinks.
Additionally, you can use buttons 5–8 to turn parts 1–4 on/off

(button 5 corresponds to part 1). Buttons whose corresponding part

is on will blink.

Turns on/off the part(s) that are played by

the keyboard.

Explanation

(Number/Name)

(Tone number/

Tone name)

Selects the tone.

Level

0–127

Specifies the volume of each part.

Pan

L64–0–63R

Specifies the panning of each part’s

sound when using stereo output.

Velo Curve

(Velocity Curve Type)

OFF, 1–4

For each part, selects one of the following

four velocity curves as appropriate for the

touch response of the MIDI keyboard. To

use the velocity curve of the keyboard,

use the “OFF” setting.

Mono/Poly

MONO, POLY, TONE

Choose “MONO” if you want the

tone assigned to the part to play

monophonically; choose “POLY” if you

want to play it polyphonically.
Choose “TONE” if you want to use the

setting specified by the tone.

Legato Sw

(Legato Switch)

OFF, ON, TONE

If you play monophonically, you can

apply legato. “Legato” is a performance

technique that smoothly connects one

note to the next. This produces an effect

similar to hammering-on or pulling-off

when playing a guitar.
Choose “ON” to apply legato, or “OFF” if

you don’t want to apply it.
Choose “TONE” if you want to use the

setting specified by the tone.

Porta Sw

(Portamento Switch)

OFF, ON, TONE

Specifies whether portamento is applied.

Choose “ON” to apply portamento, or

“OFF” if you don’t want to apply it.
Choose “TONE” if you want to use the

setting specified by the tone.

Porta Time

(Portamento Time)

0–127, TONE

Specifies the time over which the pitch

changes when using portamento. Higher

settings will cause the pitch change to

the next note to take more time.
Choose “TONE” if you want to use the

setting specified by the tone.

Unison Sw

(Unison Switch)

OFF, ON, TONE

This layers a single sound.
Choose “ON” if you want to use unison, or

“OFF” if you don’t.
Choose “TONE” if you want to use the

setting specified by the tone.

Parts whose Unison Switch is On will be MONO.

VoiceAsgn

(Voice Assign Mode)

Specifies how notes are sounded when you press the same key

multiple times.

SINGLE

Only one note of the same key is sounded

at a time.
If you repeatedly play notes of a long-

sustaining sound, the previous note is

silenced before the next note is sounded.

LIMIT

The sound of the same key is layered

(with the currently-heard sound).
If you repeatedly play notes of a long-

sustaining sound, previous notes are

silenced after a certain number have

accumulated.

FULL

The sound of the same key is layered

(with the currently-heard sound).
Even if you repeatedly play notes of a

long-sustaining sound, each new sound is

layered onto the currently-heard sounds

without limitation.

Output

(Output Assign)

Selects the output destination.

DRY

The sound is output without passing

through the effects.

IFX

The sound is sent to IFX.

Cho Send

(Chorus Send Level)

0–127

Specifies the send level to chorus.

Rev Send

(Reverb Send Level)

0–127

Specifies the send level to reverb.
