Mono/Poly
Determines the playback method of the Voice for each Part: monophonic (single note only) or
polyphonic (multiple notes).
Settings:
mono, poly
mono ..................... When set to “mono,” the selected Voice is played back monophonically (only a single note is played
back simultaneously). For many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), this allows a more
natural and smooth sounding legato performance than when this parameter is set to “poly.”
poly........................ When set to “poly,” the selected Voice is played back polyphonically (multiple notes can be played
back simultaneously or a chord is played back).
Note Limit Lo/Hi
Determines the lowest and highest notes of the keyboard range for each Part. Each Part will only
sound for notes played within its specified range. For example, setting a Note Limit of “C5 – C4” lets
you play the Element from two separate ranges: C -2 to C4 and C5 to G8. Notes played between C4
and C5 do not play the selected Element.
Settings:
C -2 – G8
Velocity Limit Lo/Hi
Determines the minimum and maximum values of the velocity range within which each Part will
respond. Each Part will only sound for notes played within its specified velocity range. If you specify
the maximum value first and the minimum value second, for example “93 to 34,” there will be a
velocity “hole” and the velocity range covered will be “1 to 34” and “93 to 127.”
Settings:
1 – 127
Porta Sw
(Portamento Switch)
Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current Part or not. This parameter can be
changed directly via the Knob.
Settings:
off, on
Porta Time
(Portamento Time)
Determines the pitch transition time when Portamento is applied. Higher values result in a longer
pitch change time, or a slow speed. This parameter can be changed directly via the Knob.
Settings:
0 – 127
Porta Mode
(Portamento Mode)
Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.
Settings:
fingered, fulltime
fingered ................. Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous
one).
fulltime ................... Portamento is applied to all notes.
Output Select
Determines the specific output(s) for the individual Part signal. You can assign each individual Part
sound to be output from a specific hardware output jack on the rear panel.
Settings:
For details, refer to Output Select List (page 90) of the Supplementary information.
Vel Sens Depth
(Velocity Sensitivity Depth)
Determines the degree to which the
resulting volume of the tone generator
responds to your playing strength. The
higher the value, the more the volume
changes in response to your playing
strength (as shown at the right). When this
is set to 0, the volume remains the same no
matter how strongly or softly you play. This
would be useful, for example, for authentic
playing of an Organ Voice.
Settings:
0 – 127
Vel Sens Offset
(Velocity Sensitivity Offset)
Determines the amount by
which played velocities are
adjusted for the actual
resulting velocity effect. This
lets you raise or lower all
velocities by the same
amount—allowing you to
automatically compensate for
playing too strongly or too
softly. If the result is 1 or less,
the value is set to 1. If the result
is higher than 127, the value is
set to 127.
Settings:
0 – 127
