Preliminary
2.6 Active Keyboard Zone (can be saved per-patch)
This function specifies the zone or region of the keyboard that will control the DX7 by setting a
Keyboard Low key and a Keyboard High key. It uses two screens:
FUNCTION CONTROL
KB Zone Lo = C1
FUNCTION CONTROL
KB Zone Hi = C6
The first screen sets the lowest note that will activate the internal sound. The second screen sets
the highest note that will activate the internal sound. The range is from C-2 to G8.
The value is chosen using the Data Slider or the + / - buttons.
Played notes outside the Active Key Zone will still be sent out on the MIDI transmit channel.
This data can be saved per-patch if the Function Data Per-Patch setting is turned on.
2.7 Voice Stack and Detune (can be saved per-patch)
The last three screens are used to set the Voice stacking mode and detuning of the extra voices.
DX7mega128 allows you to stack a DX7 patch in modes of 16x1 (standard, no stacking), 8x2 or
4x4. Each of the extra voices can have its pitch offset. Thus you can create not only
chorus/flange type effects, but also octave and chording.
FUNCTION CONTROL
Voice Stack= 2x8
To utilize this feature, the first step is to select which Voice Stack mode you would like. There are
up to three additional voices, or copies of the patch, available. The additional voices are called
"2", "3" and "4". You access each in turn by pressing the same function button over and over
again.
If you are in mode 16x1, then only the original Voice1 is used. All Detune settings are ignored.
If you are in 8x2 then the original Voice1 and Voice2 (coarse and fine) are used. The Detune
settings for 3 and 4 are ignored.
If you are in 4x4 then all voices tunings are used.
Stack Voice Coarse Pitch: Here you can set the coarse pitch for each of the three additional
voices in semitones from -24 to +24. The modifiable coarse value is the whole number portion to
the left of the decimal point
