Viscount Maestro – Grande – Sinfonia

the keyboard is in the layer mode, one of the two voices overlaid on each key will
disappear. Please refer to Chapter 3 for explanations on the keyboard modes.
Pressing and holding the buttons associated to the VISCOUNT timbres, you will
have access to a
pop-up window, allowing to set the output level (Level) and the effect
send level (
Send). The values of these two parameters, ranging from 0 to 127, are
stored separately from timbre to timbre, allowing you to set up a level equalization of
your own; the level that you set here, obviously, is completely independent from the
volume section settings (see Chapter 5). Moreover, these values are stored in the
performances (see chapter 8), and so it is possible to recall in a very fast way different
volume settings for the same timbre. For XG timbres, the level and effects send settings
are found in the timbre
pop-up selection window.
For the MANUAL BASS part you can choose among 3 VISCOUNT timbres and
an XG timbre. You can follow the same procedure shown for the 1ST and 2ND parts to
select these timbres. The selection buttons are grouped under the name MANUAL
BASS, immediately on the left of the TONE PRESETS section. In this situation, too, you
can set the output and effects send level of each timbre, in the same way as the 1ST
and 2ND parts case.
