Voice Common
Effect Send Parameters (Send)
L Reverb Send
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the level of the selected Voice that is sent
to the Reverb effect. A value of 0 results in a completely
“dry” Voice sound (no Reverb effect).
NOTE: Keep in mind that the Reverb effect must be properly
enabled and set for this parameter to work as intended. (See
page 47.)
L
Chorus Send
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the level of the selected Voice that is sent
to the Chorus effect. A value of 0 results in a completely
“dry” Voice sound (no Chorus effect).
NOTE: Keep in mind that the Chorus effect must be properly
enabled and set for this parameter to work as intended. (See
page 47.)
L
Chorus Send to Reverb
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the level of the Chorus signal sent to and
processed by the Reverb effect. A setting of 0 results in
none of the Chorus-processed signal going to the Reverb.
HINT: Setting this to a relatively high level gives you a more
natural sound, since the Chorus-processed sound is also being
processed by the Reverb. More unusual effects can be
created by having a long Reverb and setting this to 0, so that
the Chorus sound is dry (no Reverb) and the original sound is
“drenched” in Reverb.
Velocity Parameters (Velocty)
L
Velocity Offset
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the volume range over which velocity
affects. For lower values, the velocity affects a volume
range from minimum to medium-loud. For higher values,
velocity affects a range from medium-soft to maximum.
Level

HINT: For best results, set this parameter after setting Velocity
Depth (below).
NOTE: Depending on the Voice used, if Velocity Offset is set
to too low of a value, the Voice may not sound, no matter how
strong the velocity.
L Velocity Depth
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the degree to which velocity affects the
Voice. Higher values make the Voice more sensitive to
changes in velocity.
Portamento Parameters (Portmnt)
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth pitch glide
from one note to another.
NOTE: Portamento may have little or no effect on some
percussive Voices.
L Portamento Switch
Settings: off, on
This determines whether Portamento is on or off for the
Voice.
L
Portamento Time
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the time of the Portamento effect, or how
long it takes to glide the pitch from one note to the next.
Higher values result in a longer pitch glide time. (This
parameter is not available when Portamento Switch above
is set to off.)
●
Mode
Settings: mono, poly
This determines whether the Voice is played monophoni-
cally (only one note at a time) or polyphonically (up to 32
notes at a time).
HINT: The mono setting works well for certain synth lead
sounds and fretless bass Voices. Unless you’re after an
unusual effect, acoustic instrument Voices (such as piano and
guitar) work best with the poly setting.
