Detailed Editing for a Patch (PATCH Parameters)
This modifies Waveforms/Pitch/Pitch Envelope.
Parameter marked with a “
★
” can be controlled using specified MIDI messages.

Parameter
Value
Explanation
WAVE NUMBER L/R
Off, 1–
Basic waveform for a tone
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in stereo, the right side
(R) is also specified.
To select a left/right pair of waveforms, first select the left (L) wave number, then double-
click the wave number of the right (R) wave to select it.
GAIN
-6, 0, +6, +12
Gain (amplification) of the waveform
The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s
gain.
* If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set this parameter to its
TEMPO SYNC
OFF, ON
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to “ON.”
* When this parameter is set to “ON,” set the TONE DELAY TIME parameter (p. 33) to “0.”
FXM ON
OFF, ON
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
FXM COLOR
1–4
How FXM will perform frequency modulation
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic
sound.
FXM DEPTH
★
0–16
Depth of the modulation produced by FXM
Parameter
Value
Explanation
TUNE COARSE
★
-48–+48
Pitch of the tone’s sound (in semitones, +/-4 octaves)
TUNE FINE
★
-50–+50
Pitch of the tone’s sound (in 1-cent steps; one cent is 1/100th of a semitone)
RANDOM PITCH
0–1200
Width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed (in 1-cent steps)
If you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to “0.”
PITCH KF
(Pitch Keyfollow)
-200–+200
Amount of pitch change that will occur when you play a key one octave higher
If you want the pitch to rise one octave as on a conventional keyboard, set this to “+100.”
If you want the pitch to rise two octaves, set this to “+200.”
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One technique involving the
use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new
song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating
complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
