Chapter 3. VOICE MODE
11. Pitch coarse
• Adjust the pitch of each instrument in semitone steps.
• With a value of +00, the instrument will sound at the same
pitch at which it was sampled.
• By modifying the pitch, you can make an instrument sound
heavier, or create melodic toms, etc.
• For fine tuning, use 10. Pitch fine.

12. Alternate group
• This setting lets you prevent instruments which should not
sound simultaneously from sounding simultaneously.
• Instruments which are set to the same Alternate Group
number will not sound simultaneously.
• Instruments which would never sound simultaneously in real
life (such as closed and open hi-hat sounds) should be set to
the same number.
• Instruments for which an Alternate Group is specified will
always have a Key Assign Mode setting of Single.

13. Key assign
• Specify how multiple MIDI Note On messages of the same
note which are received while a note is sounding will be
handled by each instrument.
• With a Key Assign setting of Single, the currently-sound-
ing note will be damped (will stop sounding) before the
note is re-triggered.
• With a Key Assign setting of Multi, the currently-sounding
note will continue sounding, and the next note will be played
together with the currently-sounding note.
• This effect is particularly noticeable for sounds with a slow
decay, such as cymbals. In general, a Key Assign setting of
Multi will sound more natural.

14. Receive note off
• Specify whether or not MIDI Note Off messages will be
received by each instrument.
• If this is on, MIDI Note Off messages will be received to
damp (turn off) the currently-sounding note.
• If this is off, MIDI Note Off messages will be ignored, and
the note will continue sounding until it ends naturally. Nor-
mally you will use a setting of “off.”
• Use a setting of “on” if you wish to damp cymbals while
they are still sounding, etc.

15. Filter cutoff, Filter resonance
• Cutoff adjusts the filter cutoff frequency of each instrument.
• By modifying the cutoff, you can brighten or darken the
tone.
• Resonance adjusts the filter resonance for each instrument.
• By modifying the resonance, you can adjust the emphasis
of the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, creat-
ing a more distinctive tone.

16. EG attack, EG decay 1, EG decay 2
• These parameters adjust the way in which the volume of
each instrument changes over time.
