Yamaha V50, Authorized Product Manual

Page: 31 / 161

Explanation
Each instrument will play notes over the range spe-
cified by this note limit (low) and the next note limit
(high). Notes outside of this range will not be played.
Normally, the low note limit is set to C-2 and the
high note limit is set to G8. When creating a per-
formance with key splits so that different voices are
played by different areas of the keyboard, change the
low and high note limits. For example, if you want
instrument 1 to be played by notes from C-2 up to
B2, and instrument 2 to be played by notes from C3
up to G8, set the low/high limits of instrument 1 to
C-2/B2, and the low/high limits of instrument 2 to
C3/G8.
Note:
A note limit cannot be set for instruments whose
maximum note setting is 0 (or when DVA is used,
whose reserved note setting is "off").
When using key splits, make sure that the receive
channel of each instrument matches the transmit
channel.
Note limit (high)
Explanation
Press (LIMIT/HIGH). The upper line of the
display will show the note limit (low) setting and voice
of the instrument where the cursor is located.
Function
Set the keyboard playing range (upper limit) of each
instrument.
Settings
C-2 – G8
Explanation
Each instrument will play notes over the range spe-
cified by the previously discussed note limit (low) and
this limit (high). Notes outside of this range will not
be played.
Normally, the low note limit is set to C-2 and the
high note limit is set to G8. When creating a per-
formance with key splits so that different voices are
played by different areas of the keyboard, change the
low and high note limits.

Performance Edit
Note:
A note limit cannot be set for instruments whose
maximum note setting is 0 (or when DVA is used,
whose reserved note setting is “off”).
When using key splits, make sure that the receive
channel of each instrument matches the transmit
channel.
Detune
Press (INST DETUNE). The upper line of the
display will show the keyboard transmit channel, and
the voice of the instrument where the cursor is located.
Function
Slightly change the tuning of each instrument.
Settings
–7 – +7
When this is set to 0, the instrument will play the
correct pitch for the key that was pressed. If you are
creating a performance that plays more than one in-
strument for each note, slightly detuning each in-
strument will create a natural chorus effect, giving a
spacious feel to the sound. Especially when layering
two or more of the same voice, detuning can make
some very thick sounds.
Note:
Detune cannot be set for instruments whose maximum
note setting is 0 (or when DVA is used, whose reserved
note setting is "off").
If the performance plays more than one instru-
ment for each note, make sure that the receive channel
of each instrument matches the transmit channel.
This detune function is intended to change the
relative
pitch of the instruments. Setting all instru-
ments to the same detune value will not be useful.
