Patch Mode
Parameter
Value/Explanation
Velocity Sens
Offset
Velocity Sens Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall patch while
preserving the relative differences between the Velocity Sensitivity values
set for each tone in the parameters below.
Cutoff V-Sens (p. 9)
Level V-Sens (p. 10)
*
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so if the
velocity sensitivity value of any tone is already set to “+63” (maximum),
positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
-63–+63
Mono/Poly
Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO).
The “MONO” setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch such
as sax or flute.
MONO
Only the last-played note will sound.
POLY
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch
Specifies whether the Legato Switch will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
With the Legato Switch parameter “ON,” pressing a key while continuing
to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the
most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth
transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the
hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
*
Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO.”
OFF, ON
Legato Retrigger
The setting determines whether sounds are replayed (ON) or not (OFF)
when performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
When “OFF,” when one key is held down and another key is then pressed,
only the pitch changes, without the attack of the latter key being played.
Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or when using
modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
*
Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO” and the
Legato Switch is set to “ON.”
OFF, ON
MEMO
Let’s say you have the Legato Switch set to “ON,” and the Legato Retrigger set to “OFF.” When
you try to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the pitch
may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an
intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the wave
level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of
a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large pitch
changes, set the Legato Retrigger to “ON.”
Portamento
Switch
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
OFF, ON
Portamento Mode
Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be
applied.
NORMAL
Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e.,
when you press the next key before releasing the previous
key).
Portamento Type
Specifies the type of portamento effect.
RATE
The time it takes will depend on the distance between the
two pitches.
TIME
The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far
apart in pitch the notes are.
Portamento Start
When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by
portamento, a new pitch change will begin. This setting specifies the pitch
at which the change will begin.
PITCH
Starts a new portamento when another key is pressed while
the pitch is changing.
Pitch
Time
press C4 key
press C5 key
press D4 key
NOTE
Portamento will begin anew from the pitch where the
current change would end.
Pitch
Time
press C4 key
press C5 key
press D4 key
Parameter
Value/Explanation
Portamento Time
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will
change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to
take more time.
