DETUNE
JOB 5
Summary: Allows slight upward or downward pitch
adjustment of each active element.
Settings: -7 ... +7
Procedure: The and cursor keys are used
to select the element to be detuned (EL1, EL2,
EL3 or EL4 will appear in the upper right-hand
comer of the display). Unavailable elements are
represented by "***" on the display. The
[DATA ENTRY] control, [-1/NO] and [+1/YES]
keys, or numeric and [ENTER] keys are used to
set the desired degree of detuning.
Details: The maximum minus setting of "-7" pro-
duces a downward pitch shift of approximately a
quarter of a semitone, and the maximum plus
setting of "+7" produces an upward pitch shift
of approximately the same amount. A setting of
"0" produces no pitch change.
The Detune function allows different ele-
ments in a multi-element voice to be slightly
detuned in relation to each other, thereby "thick-
ening" the overall sound.

LOW NOTE LIMIT
JOB 6
Summary: Individually sets the low note limit for
each active element (the lowest note that each
element will produce).
.
Settings: C-2 ... G8
Procedure: The and cursor keys are used
to select the element for which the low note
limit is to be set (EL1, EL2, EL3 or EL4 will
appear in the upper right-hand comer of the dis-
play). Unavailable elements are represented by
"***" on the display. The [DATA ENTRY]
control or [+1/YES] and [-1/NO] keys are used to
set the low note limit.
The low note limit can also be set by press-
ing the [ENTER] key — "KBD" will flash on the
display — and then the key on the keyboard cor-
responding to the desired low note.
Details: The C-2 to G8 range of this function cov-
ers a full 10-1/2 octaves. "C3" corresponds to
"middle C" on a keyboard.
This function, in conjunction with the High
Note Limit function described below, allows the
sound from an element to be limited to a specific
region of the keyboard (or scale of other types
of MIDI controllers). If the Low Note Limit is
set to C3 and the High Note Limit for the same
element is set to C4, for example, the sound
from that element will only be produced between
C3 and C4 — the octave immediately above
middle C. This makes it simple to produce split
voices.
If the High Note Limit is set to a note that is
lower than the Low Note Limit for the same
element, the full range of notes (C-2...G8) will
be produced.
