Note shift
Press (NOTE SHIFT). The upper line of the
display will show the keyboard transmit channel, and
the voice of the instrument where the cursor is located.
Function
Transpose the pitch of each instrument in half-steps.
Settings
– 24 – +24
Explanation
When note shift is set to 0, the instrument will play
the pitch specified by the note message that arrives
on its record channel. When note shift is set – 1 –
–24 the pitch will be lower, and when set + 1 –
+24 the pitch will be higher.
This setting is in units of a half-step. For example,
if set to – 12 the pitch will be one octave lower, and
if set to +24 the pitch will be two octaves higher.
This note shift function can be useful when you
need to play a song in a different key than usual, or
when you need to play notes that are higher or lower
than your keyboard extends. Another way to use
note shift when playing more than one voice at once
is to shift the voices apart to form a chord, or to play
parallel octaves.
Note:
Note shift 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.
Volume
Press (VOLUME).
Function
This determines the volume of each instrument.
Settings
0 – 99
Explanation
0 is a volume of 0, and 99 is maximum volume. (The
vertical bar at the right of each number graphically
indicates the volume for each instrument.) This setting
determines the volume balance of the instruments in
a performance.
Note:
Volume cannot be set for instruments whose maxi-
mum note setting is 0 (or when DVA is used, whose
reserved note setting is "off").
When a control change message that affects vo-
lume is received by an instrument, its volume will be
changed.
Output assign
Press (OUTPUT ASSIGN). The upper line of the
display will show the keyboard transmit channel, and
the voice of the instrument where the cursor is located.
Function
Set the output for each instrument.
Settings
off, L, R, L+R
Explanation
When output assign is set to "off", that instrument
will not sound. When set to L, that instrument will
sound from the L output, and when set to R, from
the R output. When set to L + R, it will sound from
both L and R outputs.
Note:
Output assign cannot be set for instruments whose
maximum note setting is 0 (or when DVA is used,
whose reserved note setting is "off").
When only the L output is connected, both L and
R will be sent from the L output.
The performance effect “pan” applies only to
instruments set to either L or R. (“pan” will not apply
to instruments whose output assign is set to L + R.)
