Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays
The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in
each display are described separately, below.

1 MODULATION
The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well
as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the MODULATION
wheel modulates each of the following parameters.
The available parameters differ depend-
ing on the Voice.
NOTE
[1
]
VOLUME
Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
[2
]/
[3
]
TOUCH SENSE
Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume
responds to your playing strength.
DEPTH:
Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice
changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
OFFSET:
Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the
actual velocity effect.

PART OCTAVE
Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited
Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–3 parts, the R1/R2/R3 parameter is available;
when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available.
[6
]
MONO/POLY
Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. This
setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT [MONO] button on the panel.

PORTAMENTO
TIME
Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to
“MONO” above.

The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is a function that creates a smooth
transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.

FILTER
Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the Filter Cut-
off Frequency. For details about the filter, see
[3
]
AMPLITUDE
Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the amplitude
(volume).
[5
]
LFO PMOD
Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the pitch, or
the vibrato effect.
[6
]
LFO FMOD
Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the Filter mod-
ulation, or the wah effect.
[7
]
LFO AMOD
Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the amplitude,
or the tremolo effect.
