1-1 Basic Terms
1-1-1 Definitions
Voice A Voice is a musical instrument sound that is built into an Electronic
Musical Instrument.
There are two Voice Types:
Normal Voices
Drum Voices
Normal Voice Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-type sounds.
You can play over the range of the keyboard at the standard pitch for each
key. Normal Voices consist of one or more Elements (see "Element").
Drum Voice Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds.
A Drum Voice consists of mainly percussion/drum sounds that are
assigned to individual notes on the keyboard, or a collection of assigned
percussion/drum waves. The Drum Voice is also known as a Drum Kit.
Figure 1: Individual drum sounds, different for each key.
Element An Element is the smallest unit that makes up a Normal Voice.
An Element is created by applying Voice Parameters to sound material. A
single Normal Voice can be created by combining several Elements.
Drum Key A Drum Key is the smallest unit that makes up a Drum Voice.
A Drum Key is assigned to individual notes on the Keyboard. The
percussion/Drum wave is assigned to a Drum Key.
Voice Edit A function that lets you create your own Voices.
Use Voice Edit to adjust or apply Voice Parameters to a Voice.
For Normal Voices:
Use Common Edit to edit the settings that are common to all
Elements;
Use Element Edit to edit the settings for each Element separately.
For Drum Voices:
Use Common Edit to edit the settings that are common to all keys;
Use Key Edit to edit the settings for each key separately.
GM General MIDI (GM) is a worldwide standard for Voice organization and
MIDI functions of synthesizers and tone generators.
This standard ensures that any song sounds virtually the same on any GM
device of any manufacturer. The GM Voice Bank on this synthesizer is
designed to appropriately play back GM song data. However, the sound
may not be exactly the same as played by the original tone generator.

1-2 Synthesis Parameters
1-2-1 Oscillator
An Oscillator outputs the waveform that determines the basic pitch of an Element and is one
unit of the tone generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument.
You can:
Assign the waveform (or basic sound material) to each Element of a Normal Voice or each
key of a Drum Voice;
Set the note range for the Element (Normal Voice);
Set the Velocity response (Normal Voice);
Set the XA (eXpanded Articulation) parameters.
Element Switch Switches a selected Element On or Off.
Elements for which the Element Switch is switched off will not sound.
XA Control Determines the functioning of the Expanded Articulation (XA) feature of an
Element.
The XA feature is sophisticated tone generator system that allows you to
more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance
techniques. It also provides other unique modes for random and alternate
sound changes as you play.
For each Element, you can set to:
Normal: The Element sounds normally each time you play the note.
Legato: When the Mono/Poly parameter is set to Mono, this Element
will be played in place of the one which is set to "Normal" of the XA
Control parameter when you play the keyboard in legato fashion
(playing the next note of a single-note line or melody before releasing
the previous note).
Key off sound: The Element will sound each time you release the
note.
Wave cycle (for multiple Elements): Each Element sounds
alternately according to its numerical order. In other words, playing
the first note will sound Element 1, the second note Element 2, and
so on.
Wave random (for multiple Elements): Each Element will sound
randomly each time you play the note.
AF 1 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] button is turned
On, the Element will sound.
AF 2 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [2] button is turned
On, the Element will sound.
All AF off: When both the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] and [2]
buttons are turned Off, the Element will sound.
To create the desired sound, assign the same Element Group to all
Elements that have the same XA features. See "Element Group".
Element Group Determines the group for XA Control.
The Elements of a group can be called up in sequential order or in random
order. All Elements that have the same type of XA features must have the
same group number.
This setting does not apply when the XA Control parameters of all
Elements are set to Normal.
Voice Parameters
6
Waveform Bank Specifies the Waveform Bank of an Element or Drum Key (Drum Voice).
Preset
User: This lets you create User Waveforms based on samples that
are recorded in the Sampling mode.
Waveform Category and
Number
Specifies the waveform of an Element (Normal Voice) or Drum Key (Drum
Voice).
The waveform is specified as a combination of a Waveform Category and
a Waveform Number.
Assign Mode (for Drum
Voices)
Enables or disables double playback of the same note.
Single: Double or repeated playback of the same note is not possible.
The first note will be stopped, then the next note will be sounded.
Multi: All notes are sounded simultaneously. This allows playback of
the same note when it is played multiple times in succession
(especially for tambourine and cymbal sounds that you would want to
ring out to their full decay).
In general, you can use the setting Multi. Keep in mind that the Multi
setting consumes overall polyphony and that sounds may be cut off.
Receive Note Off (for
Drum Voices)
Determines whether a Drum Key responds to the MIDI Note Off message
or not.
On: Stops the sound when you release the key (Drum Key). For
sustained, non-fading drum sounds.
Off: Continues the (fading) sound when you release the key (Drum
Key).
Alternate Group (for
Drum Voices)
Prevents playback of unnatural combinations of Drum Keys.
You should assign Drum Keys that cannot be played simultaneously on a
real Drum Kit (like open and closed hi-hats) to the same Alternate Group.
Select Off for Drum Keys that can be played simultaneously.
Key On Delay Defines the time delay between when a key is pressed and the
corresponding sound is actually played.
The higher the value, the longer the delay time.
Delay Tempo Sync Determines if the Key On Delay is synchronized to the tempo of the
Arpeggio or sequencer (Song or Pattern).
Delay Tempo Determines the timing of the Key On Delay when the Delay Tempo Sync
is set to On.
Velocity Cross Fade Determines how gradually the volume of an Element decreases in
proportion to the distance of Velocity changes outside the Velocity Limit
setting.
The higher the value, the more gradual the volume decreases.
0: No sound outside the Velocity Limit (see "Velocity Limit") is
produced.
Use this parameter to create natural-sounding Velocity cross fades, in
which different Elements change gradually depending on the strength at
which you play the keyboard.
Voice Parameters
7
Velocity Limit Determines the minimum and maximum Velocity values in which an
Element responds.
Each Element will only sound for notes played between its specified
Velocity Limits.
For example, this lets you have one Element sound when you play softly
and have a different one sound when you play strongly.
If you first specify the maximum value and then the minimum value, for
example "93 to 34," then the Velocity range covers both "1 to 34" and
"93to127."
Note Limit Determines the lowest and highest notes of the keyboard range for an
Element.
The selected Element will sound only when you play notes within this
range.
If you first specify the highest note and then the lowest note, for example
"C5 to C4", then the note range covers both "C-2 to C4" and "C5 to G8."
Voice Parameters

1-2-2 Pitch
The processing unit that controls the pitch of the wave output from the Oscillator on the tone
generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument.
This unit controls the pitch of the sound (wave) output from the Oscillator. In the case of a
Normal Voice, you can detune separate Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by
setting the Pitch Envelope Generator (Pitch EG), you can control how the pitch changes over
time.
Coarse Tuning Determines the pitch of each Element (Normal Voice) or each Drum Key
(Drum Voice) in semitones.
Fine Tuning Determines the pitch of each Element or each Drum Key in cents.
The term "cent" refers to one hundredth of a semitone (i.e., 100 cents = 1
semitone).
Pitch Velocity Sensitivity Determines how the pitch of the Element or Drum Key responds to
Velocity.
Positive values: The pitch rises more, the harder you play the
keyboard.
Negative values: The pitch falls more, the harder you play the
keyboard.
0: No change in pitch.
Fine Scaling Sensitivity Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or
Octave Range) affect the pitch in Fine Tuning of the selected Element,
assuming C3 as the basic pitch.
Positive values: The pitch of lower notes drops and that of higher
notes rises.
Negative values: The pitch of lower notes rises and that of higher
notes drops.
Random This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for each note you play.
The higher the value, the greater the pitch variation.
0: No pitch change.
Pitch Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of
adjacent notes), assuming the pitch of the Center Key as standard.
+100% (the normal setting): Adjacent notes are pitched one semitone
apart.
0%: All notes are the same pitch specified as the Center Key.
Negative values: The settings are reversed.
This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with
sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones, such as pitched drum
sounds in a Normal Voice.

1-2-3 Pitch EG (Pitch Envelope Generator)
This lets you control the transition in pitch from the moment the sound starts to the moment the
sound stops. You can create the Pitch EG by setting parameters as illustrated below. When
you press a key on the keyboard, the pitch of the Voice will change according to these Pitch
EG settings.
This is useful for creating automatic changes in pitch, which is effective for Synth Brass
sounds.

Hold Time Determines the time between the moment you press a key on the
keyboard and the moment the envelope starts to rise.
Attack Time Determines the speed of attack from the initial pitch (Hold Level) to the
normal pitch of the Voice after the hold time has elapsed.
Decay 1 Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the normal pitch (Attack
Level) of the Voice to the pitch specified as the Decay 1 Level.
Decay 2 Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch specified as the
Decay 1 Level to the pitch specified as the Decay 2 Level.
Release Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch specified as the
Decay 2 Level to the pitch specified as the Release Level when the note is
released.
Hold Level Determines the initial pitch at the moment the key is pressed.
Attack Level Determines the normal pitch of the pressed key.
Decay 1 Level Determines the level which the pitch of sound reaches from the Attack
Level after the Decay 1 time elapses.
Decay 2 Level Determines the sustain-level pitch which will be maintained while a note is
held.
Release Level Determines the final pitch reached after the note is released.
EG Depth Determines the range over which the pitch envelope changes.
0: The pitch does not change.
The farther from 0 the value is, the larger the pitch range.
Negative values: The pitch change is reversed.
Voice Parameters

1-2-4 Filter
A filter is a circuit or processor that modifies tone by blocking or passing a specific frequency
range of the sound.
Filters work by allowing portions of the signal lower or higher than a given frequency to pass,
and cutting the remainder of the signal. This given frequency is referred to as the Cutoff
Frequency. You can produce a relatively brighter or darker sound depending on how you set
the Cutoff Frequency.
By adjusting the Resonance (which boosts the level of the signal in the area of the Cutoff
Frequency), you can produce a distinctive "peaky" tone, making the sound brighter and harder.

Cutoff Frequency Determines the Cutoff Frequency for the Filter, or the central frequency
around which the Filter is applied.
The tonal characteristics of the Voice and function of the Cutoff Frequency
differ depending on which Filter Type is selected (see Chapter 1-2-5 Filter
Type).
Voice Parameters

Cutoff Velocity
Sensitivity
Determines how the Cutoff Frequency responds to Velocity, or the strength
with which you play notes.
Positive values: The Cutoff Frequency rises the stronger you play the
keyboard.
Negative values: The Cutoff Frequency rises the softer you play the
keyboard.
0: The Cutoff Frequency does not change, regardless of the Velocity.
Resonance Resonance is used to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis)
applied to the signal at the Cutoff Frequency.
This parameter can boost the level of the signal in the area of the Cutoff
Frequency. By emphasizing the overtones in this area, this can produce a
distinctive "peaky" tone, making the sound brighter and harder.
This can be used in combination with the Cutoff Frequency parameter to
add further character to the sound.
This parameter is available when an LPF, HPF, BPF (excluding the
BPFw), or BEF is selected as a Filter Type.
Width The Width parameter is used to adjust the width of the band of signal
frequencies passed by the filter with the BPFw.
This parameter is available when a BPFw is selected as a Filter Type.
Resonance Velocity
Sensitivity
Determines the degree to which Resonance responds to Velocity, or the
strength with which you play notes.
Positive values: The higher the Velocity, the greater the Resonance.
Negative values: The lower the Velocity, the greater the Resonance.
0: No change of the Resonance value.
Gain Determines the Gain of the signal sent to the filter.
The lower the value, the lower the Gain. The tonal characteristics
generated by the filter differ depending on the value set here.
Cutoff Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or
Octave Range) affect the Cutoff Frequency of the selected Element,
assuming C3 as the basic pitch.
Positive values: The Cutoff Frequency drops for lower notes and rises
for higher notes.
Negative values: The Cutoff Frequency rises for lower notes and
drops for higher notes.

1-2-5 Filter Type
LPF (Low-Pass
Filter)
This is a Filter Type that only passes signals below the Cutoff Frequency.
The sound can be brightened by raising the Cutoff Frequency of the filter.
On the other hand, the sound can be darkened by lowering the Cutoff
Frequency of the filter. You can produce a distinctive "peaky" sound by
raising the Resonance to boost the signal level in the area of the Cutoff
Frequency.
This Filter Type is most popular and useful for producing classic
synthesizer sounds.

The signal from the LFO can be used to modulate the pitch, filter, and amplitude. Modulating
the pitch produces a vibrato effect, modulating the filter produces a wah effect, and modulating
the amplitude produces a tremolo effect.
You can set the Common LFO which set the basic LFO parameters common to all Elements

1-3-3 Portamento
Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from one note played on the keyboard
to the next one.
Mono/Poly Selects monophonic or polyphonic.
Mono: The selected Voice is played back monophonically; only a
single note is played back simultaneously.
Poly: The selected Voice is played back polyphonically; multiple
notes or chords can be played back simultaneously.
For many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), Mono allows
a more natural and smooth sounding legato performance than Poly.
Key Assign Mode Determines the playing method when the same notes are received
continuously in the same channel, and without a corresponding note off
message.
Single: If double playback of the same note is transmitted to the
internal tone generator, the first note will be stopped and then the next
note will be sounded.
Multi: When double playback of the same note is transmitted to the
internal tone generator, all the notes are sounded simultaneously.
Single is useful when two or more instances of the same note are received
nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message. To
allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to Multi.
Portamento Switch Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current Voice or not.
Portamento Time Determines the pitch transition time or rate when Portamento is applied.
Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.
The effect of the parameter depends on the settings of Portamento Time
Mode.
Portamento Mode Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.
Fingered: Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing
the next note before releasing the previous one).
Fulltime: Portamento is applied to all notes.
Portamento Time
Mode
Determines how the pitch changes in time.
Rate1: Pitch changes at the specified rate.
Time1: Pitch changes in the specified time.
Rate2: Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave.
Time2: Pitch changes in the specified time within an octave.
Portamento Legato
Slope
Adjusts the attack of the Voice for Mono legato playing.
When the parameter Mono/Poly is set to Mono, legato playing may
produce an unnatural attack depending on the waveform assigned to the
selected Voice. To solve such a problem, you can use this parameter to
adjust the attack of the Voice.
Normally, this should be set to a low value for waveforms with short attack
times, and to a high value for waveforms with long attack times.

1-3-4 Micro Tuning List
Equal Temperament The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western
music, and found on most electronic keyboards.
Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any
key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune.
Pure Major This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major
third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure.
This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.
Pure Minor The same as Pure Major, but designed for minor scales.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.
Werckmeist Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so
that keyboard instruments could be played in any key.
Each key has a unique character.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.
Kimberger Johann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this
tempered scale to allow performances in any key.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.
Vallot&Yng Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this
adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning, in which the first six fifths are
lowered by the same amount.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.

1-3-5 Arpeggio
This function lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current
Voice by simply pressing a key or keys on the keyboard.
The Arpeggio sequence changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you
a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas, both in composing and performing.
Arpeggio Bank Determines the Arpeggio Bank containing the desired Arpeggio type.
Preset Bank: Selects the preset Arpeggio Type.
User Bank: Selects an Arpeggio Type you created and stored
yourself.
Arpeggio Category/
Sub Category
Determines the Arpeggio category and sub category.
The Arpeggio types are divided into several categories. The
Arpeggio categories are divided into sub categories. Because the sub
categories are listed based on the music genre, it is easy to find the sub
category appropriate for your desired music style.
Arpeggio Switch Determines whether Arpeggio is On or Off.
Arpeggio Hold Determines whether the Arpeggio continues cycling after the keys are
released.
Off: The Arpeggio plays only while you hold the keys.
On: The Arpeggio cycles automatically, even if you release your
fingers from the keys.
Sync-off: Arpeggio playback continues to run silently, even when you
release the keys. Pressing any key turns Arpeggio playback on again,
and the Arpeggio is heard from the point in the cycle where playback
is resumed.
Change Timing Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when
you select another type during Arpeggio playback.
Realtime: The Arpeggio type is switched immediately.
Measure: The Arpeggio type is switched at the top of the next
measure.
Arpeggio Velocity
Limit
Determines the lowest and highest Velocity that can trigger Arpeggio
playback.
This lets you set the Velocity range with which you press the key to trigger
Arpeggio playback. You can also create separate low and high trigger
ranges for the Arpeggio playback, with a Velocity "hole" in the middle, by
specifying the maximum value first.
For example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets you play the Arpeggio
from two separate Velocity ranges: soft (1 to 34) and hard (93 to 127).
Notes played at middle Velocities (35 to 92) do not play the Arpeggio.
Arpeggio Note Limit Determines the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggio's note range.
Notes played in this range trigger the Arpeggio.
For example, setting a Note Limit of C5 - C4 lets you trigger the Arpeggio
by playing notes in the two ranges of C-2 to C4 and C5 to G8; notes played
between C4 and C5 have no effect on the Arpeggio.
Arpeggio Tempo Determines the Arpeggio Tempo.
Voice Parameters
45
Key Mode Determines how the Arpeggio plays back when playing the keyboard.
Sort: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a
chord), the same sequence plays, no matter what order you play the
notes.
Thru: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a
chord), the resulting sequence differs depending on the order of the
notes.
Direct: Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the
notes you play on the keyboard are heard. When the Arpeggio plays
back, events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the sound of
your keyboard performance. Use this setting when the Arpeggio
types include non-note data or when you set the Arpeggio Category
to Control.
Sort+Direct: The Arpeggio is played back according to the Sort
setting, and the notes played are also sounded.
Thru+Direct: The Arpeggio is played back according to the Thru
setting, and the notes played are also sounded.
Velocity Mode Adjusts the Velocity of the Arpeggio notes.
Original: The Arpeggio plays back at the preset Velocities included
in the Arpeggio sequence data.
Thru: The Arpeggio plays back according to the Velocity of your
playing. For example, if you press the keys strongly, the playback
volume of the Arpeggio is high.
Output Octave Shift Shifts the pitch of the Arpeggio up or down in octaves.
Unit Multiply Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo.
By using this parameter, you can create a different Arpeggio type from the
original one.
200%: The playback time will be doubled and the tempo is halved.
100%: The normal playback time.
50%: The playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled.
Quantize Value Determines to which beats the note data in the Arpeggio will be aligned, or
determines to which beats in the Arpeggio the swing is applied.
Quantize Strength Sets the "strength" by which note events are pulled toward the nearest
quantize beats.
0%: No quantization.
50%: The note events are pulled halfway between 0% and 100%.
100%: Exact timing as set by Quantize Value.
Swing Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing
feel.
+1 and higher: Delay the Arpeggio notes.
-1 and lower: Advance the Arpeggio notes.
0: Exact timing as set by Quantize Value, resulting in no swing.
Judicious use of this setting lets you create swing rhythms and triplet feels,
such as shuffle and bounce.
Voice Parameters
46
Velocity Rate Determines how much the Velocity of Arpeggio playback is offset from the
original value.
100%: The original Velocities are used.
Below 100%: Reduces the Velocities of the Arpeggio notes.
Above 100%: Increases the Velocities.
If the resulting Velocity value is 0, it will be set to 1.
If the resulting Velocity value is greater than 127 it will be set to 127.
Gate Time Rate Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is
offset from the original value.
100%: Indicates that the original Gate Times are used.
Below 100%: Shortens the Gate Times of the Arpeggio notes.
Above 100%: Lengthens the Gate Times of the Arpeggio notes.
The Gate Time cannot be decreased beyond its normal minimum of 1; any
values outside that range will automatically be limited to the minimum.
Octave Range Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves.
Positive values: Increase the Octave Range of the Arpeggio playback
upwards.
Negative values: Increase the Octave Range of the Arpeggio
playback downwards.
Loop Determines whether the Arpeggio plays a single time or continuously,
while notes are held.
On: The Arpeggio cycles while notes are held.
Off: The Arpeggio plays only once even if notes are held.
Trigger Mode Determines how Arpeggio playback is started and stopped.
Gate: Pressing the key starts Arpeggio playback and releasing the
note stops it.
Toggle: Pressing the key starts/stops Arpeggio playback and
releasing the note does not affect Arpeggio playback.
This Mode
overrules the
Arpeggio Hold setting. In other words, even when
the
Arpeggio Hold parameter is set to On, pressing the key
start/stops Arpeggio playback
.
Normally, this parameter should be set to Gate.
Accent Velocity
Threshold
Determins the minimum Velocity that will trigger the Accent Phrase.
Some Arpeggio types include special sequence data called Accent
Phrases, which will be played back only when Velocities higher than the
specified threshold are received.
Accent Start
Quantize
Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the Velocity higher
than the specified threshold in Accent Velocity Threshold is received.
Off: The Accent Phrase starts as soon as the Velocity is received.
On: The Accent Phrase starts on the beat specified for each Arpeggio
type after the Velocity is received.
Random SFX Determins whether Random SFX is active or not.
Some Arpeggio types feature the Random SFX (Sound Effect) function,
which will trigger a special sound when the note is released--for example,
the fret noise of a guitar.
Voice Parameters
47
1-3-6 Controller Set
The controllers such as knobs on the front panel can be used to change and adjust a variety
of parameters for each Voice--both in real time and simultaneously. For example, keyboard
aftertouch can be used to control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel can be used to control
tonal brightness.
The function settings for all controllers are referred to as a Controller Set, and several
Controller Sets can be created for each Voice. The controller is referred to as Source, and the
controlled function is referred to as Destination.
Random SFX
Velocity Offset
Determines the offset value by which the Random SFX notes will be
shifted from their original Velocities.
If the resulting Velocity is 0, it will be set to 1.
If the resulting Velocity is greater than 127, it will be set to 127.
Random SFX Key On
Control
Defines the way in which the Velocity of the Random SFX special sound
is determined.
On: The Random SFX special sound is played with a pre-
programmed Velocity.
Off: The Random SFX special sound is played with the Velocity
generated when the key is pressed.
Fixed SD/BD (for
Drum Voices)
Determines whether or not C1 and D1 are fixed as notes for Snare Drum
(SD) and Bass Drum (BD) in Arpeggio playback.
When this parameter is set to On, C1 will be used as the note of the Snare
Drum and D1 will be used as the note of the Bass Drum in Arpeggio
playback.
Although most Drum Kits assign the Snare Drum sound to C1 and the Bass
Drum to D1, certain Drum Kits additionally assign these sounds to other
notes and certain Arpeggio Types are created by using those different
notes. Accordingly, you may hear improper sounds depending on the
selected Arpeggio Type and Drum Kit. Setting this parameter to On may
solve such problems.
Source Determines which panel controller is to be assigned and used for the
selected Controller Set.
You can assign multiple functions to a controller.
Destination Determines the parameter that is controlled by the Source.
You can select any of the available parameters for each controller, such as
volume, pitch and LFO depth.
Depth Determines the degree to which the Source affects the Destination
parameter.
For negative values, the controller operation is reversed: maximum
controller settings produce minimum parameter changes.
Controller Set
Element Switch
Determines whether or not the selected controller affects each individual
Element of the current Voice.
This parameter is disabled when the Destination is set to a parameter that
is not related to the Voice Elements.

1-3-7 Effect
The Effect unit applies Effects to the output of the tone generator block and audio input block,
processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting
you change the sound of the created Voice as desired.
The unprocessed sound is called
"dry" sound, and the processed sound is referred to as "wet."
Master Effect Master effects are applied to the final stereo output signal of the entire
sound.
System Effect System Effects are applied to the overall sound: a Voice, an entire
Performance, a Song, etc.
With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according
to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to
as “wet”) is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and
output—after being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This
arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and
the original sound of the Parts.
Insertion Effect Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts
before merging signals of all parts.
It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the
character. The synthesizer features some sets of Insertion Effects (one set
has A and B units).
Element Out Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each
individual Element of the current Normal Voice.
Set this to Thru to bypass the Insertion Effects for the specified element.
When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the
signal of each Element is output to the same process for the Vocoder
regardless of this setting.
Key Out Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each
individual Drum Key of the current Drum Voice.
Parameters can be set for each Drum Key.
When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the
signal from each Drum Key is output to the same process for the Vocoder
regardless of this setting.

1-3-8 EQ (Equalizer)
Usually an equalizer (EQ) is used to correct the sound output from amplifiers or speakers to
match the special character of the room, or to change the tonal character of the sound.
The sound is divided into several frequency bands, and adjustments are made to the sound by
raising or lowering the level of each band. By adjusting the sound according to the genre
(classical music being more refined, pop music more crisp, and rock music more dynamic) you
can draw out the special characteristics of the music and make your performance more
enjoyable.
Chorus to Reverb Determines the Send level of the signal sent from the Chorus Effect to the
Reverb Effect.
The higher the value, the deeper the Reverb that is applied to the Chorus
processed signal.
Reverb Return Determines the Return level of the Reverb Effect.
Chorus Return Determines the Return level of the Chorus Effect.
Reverb Pan Determines the pan position of the Reverb effect sound.
Chorus Pan Determines the pan position of the Chorus effect sound.

3-1 Overview
3-1-1 About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible types of
MIDI data or messages. The types of MIDI data include Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types.
This synthesizer can control other MIDI devices by transmitting note-related data and various
types of controller data. It can also be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which
automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, Voices and Effects,
change parameter values, and of course play the Voices specified for the various parts.
3-1-2 MIDI channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels,
1 through 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be
simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a
specific channel.
Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations
and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program. MIDI operates on the
same basic principle.
Figure 56: MIDI Channels
A: Weather Report
B: News
The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit
Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument's MIDI
channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will
sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument.

3-1-3 MIDI ports
The above-mentioned sixteen-channel limit can be overcome by using separate MIDI "ports,"
each supporting sixteen channels. While a single MIDI cable is equipped to handle data over
up to sixteen channels simultaneously, a USB connection is capable of handling far more,
thanks to the use of MIDI ports. Each MIDI port can handle sixteen channels, and the USB
connection allows up to eight ports, enabling you to use up to 128 channels on your computer.
3-1-4 MIDI messages
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups:
Channel messages (see section 3-2 Channel Messages) and
System messages (see section 3-3 System Messages).
The following explanations show examples of MIDI messages. For more details about MIDI
messages (for example, for editing recorded MIDI data) please refer to any of the fine MIDI
guidebooks that are commercially available.

MIDI
68
3-2 Channel Messages
3-2-1 Note On/Off
Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played:
Note On: Generated when a key is pressed.
Note Off: Generated when a key is released.
Each message includes a specific note number, which corresponds to the key that is pressed,
plus a Velocity value based on how hard the key is struck.
Reception note range = C -2 (0) - G8 (127), C3 = 60
Velocity range = 1 - 127 (only the Note On Velocity is received)
3-2-2 Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages that allow the pitch of designated
notes to be raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration.
This message is a numerical representation of pitch bend wheel position.
3-2-3 Program Change
Messages that determine which Voice to select for each part. In combination with Bank Select,
you can select not only basic Voice numbers, but also variation Voice bank numbers.
3-2-4 Control Change
Control Change messages let you select a Voice bank, control volume, panning, modulation,
portamento time, brightness, and various other controller parameters, through specific Control
Change numbers. Each Control Change number corresponds to a specific parameter.
When you specify Program Change as a number in the range of 0 - 127, specify a
number that is one less than the program number listed in the Voice List. For
example, to specify program number 128, you would actually enter Program Change
127.
Bank Select MSB
(Control #0) and
Bank Select LSB
(Control #32)
Messages that select variation Voice bank numbers by combining and
sending the MSB and LSB from an external device.
The functions of MSB and LSB messages differ depending on the tone
generator mode:
MSB numbers select Voice Type (Normal Voice or Drum Voice);
LSB numbers select Voice banks.
A new bank selection will not become effective until the next Program
Change message is received.
To change the Voices (including the Voice banks), transmit Bank Select
MSB, LSB, then Program Change in this order as a set.
Modulation (Control
#1)
Messages that control vibrato depth using the Modulation Wheel.
127: Maximum vibrato.
0: Vibrato off.
MIDI
69
Portamento Time
(Control #5)

glide between successively played notes.
127: Maximum portamento time.
0: Minimum portamento time.
When the parameter Portamento Switch (Control #65) is set to On, the
value set here can adjust the speed of the pitch change.
Data Entry MSB
(Control #6) and Data
Entry LSB (Control
#38)
These parameters specify the value of RPN MSB and RPN LSB events.
The parameter value is determined by combining the MSB and LSB.
Main Volume
(Control #7)
Messages that control the volume of each part.
127: Maximum volume.
0: Volume off.
This provides detailed control over the level balance among the parts.
Pan (Control #10) Messages that control the stereo panning position of each part (for stereo
output).
127: Positions the sound to the far right.
0: Positions the sound to the far left.
Expression (Control
#11)
Messages that control intonation expression of each part during
performance.
This parameter produces volume variations during playback:
127: Maximum volume.
0: Volume off.
Hold1 (Control #64) Messages that control sustain on/off.
Notes playing when the pedal is pressed will be sustained.
64 - 127: Sustain on.
0 - 63: Sustain off.
When the pedal supports half-damper playing, a higher value results in
longer sustain time.
Portamento (Control
#65)
Messages that control portamento On/Off.
64 - 127: Portamento On.
0 - 63: Portamento Off.
When Mono/Poly is set to Mono and this parameter is On, you can
effectively perform legato passages by playing successive notes smoothly
with no breaks between notes (in other words, holding down one key and
not releasing it until the next is played).
The length (degree) of the portamento effect is controlled by Portamento
Time (Control #5).
Sostenuto (Control
#66)
Messages that control sostenuto On/Off.
64 - 127: Sostenuto On.
0 - 63: Sostenuto Off.
Holding specific notes and then pressing and holding the sostenuto pedal
will sustain those notes as you play subsequent notes, until the pedal is
released.

(Control #93)
Messages that adjust the send level for the Chorus effect.
Effect4 Depth
(Variation Send
Level) (Control #94)

Data Increment
(Control #96) and
Data Decrement
(Control #97)
Messages that increase or decrease the MSB value of pitch bend
sensitivity, fine tune, or coarse tune in steps of 1.
You will need to assign one of those parameters using the RPN in the
external device in advance.
NRPN MSB (Control
#99) and NRPN LSB
(Control #98)
Used primarily as offset values for vibrato, filter, EG and other settings.
Data Entry is used to set the parameter value after specifying the
parameter using the NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) MSB
and LSB. Once an NRPN is specified, the following data entry message
received on the same channel is processed as the value of that NRPN.
Prevent operational errors by transmitting an RPN Null message (7FH,
7FH) after using these messages to perform a control operation.
RPN MSB (Control
#101) and RPN LSB
(Control #100)
Used primarily as offset values for pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, and other
part settings.
First send the RPN (Registered Parameter Number) MSB and RPN LSB
to specify the parameter which is to be controlled. Then use Data
Increment/Decrement to set the value of the specified parameter.
Once the RPN has been set for a channel, subsequent data entry will be
recognized as the same RPN's value change. Therefore, after you use the
RPN, you should set a Null (7FH, 7FH) value to avoid unexpected results.
The RPN numbers that can be received, are listed in Table 3: RPN
Parameter List.
The NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB cannot be handled by the tone generator block in
some synthesizers, although it can be recorded to a Song/Pattern track.

3-3 System Messages
3-3-1 System Exclusive Messages
Changes internal tone generator settings such as Voice and effect settings, remote switch
control, tone generator more switching, and others via MIDI.
The Device Number of the synthesizer must match the Device Number of the external MIDI
device when transmitting/receiving bulk data, parameter changes or other System Exclusive
Messages. System Exclusive Messages control various functions of this synthesizer, including
master volume and master tuning, tone generator mode, effect type and various other
parameters. Some System Exclusive Messages are called Universal Messages (for example,
GM System On) and do not require the Device Number.
3-3-2 System Common Message
System Common messages also control the sequencer.
3-3-3 System Realtime Messages
System Common messages control the sequencer.
General MIDI (GM)
System On
When this message is received, the synthesizer will receive the MIDI
messages that are compatible with GM System Level 1, and consequently
will not receive Bank Select messages.
When the instrument receives the GM System On message, each receive
channel of parts 1 - 16 (in a Multi) will be assigned to 1 - 16.
Make sure that the interval between this message and the first note data
of the song is a quarter note or longer.
Data Format: F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 (Hexadecimal).
MIDI Master Volume When this message is received, the Volume MSB will be effective for the
System Parameter.
Data Format: F0 7F 7F 04 01 ll mm F7 (Hexadecimal), in which:
ll (LSB) = ignored;
mm (MSB) = appropriate volume value.
Mode Change When this message is received, the mode of the synthesizer changes.
Data Format: F0 43 1n 7F 0D 0A 00 01 0m F7 (Hexadecimal), in which:
n = Device Number;
m = 0 - 6.
MIDI Time Code
Quarter Frame (F1H)
This message lets the current MIDI sequence data position generate in
absolute time (hours/minutes/seconds/frames).
Song Position
Pointer (F2H)
This message lets the start position for the MIDI sequence data specify.
Song Select (F3H) This message lets the number of the MIDI sequence data specify.
Start (FAH) This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back from the
beginning.
This message will be transmitted when pressing the [>] (Play) button at the
top of the Song or Pattern.
Continue (FBH) This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back from the
current song position.
This message will be transmitted when pressing the [>] (Play) button at the
middle of the Song or Pattern.
MIDI
73
Stop (FCH) This message causes MIDI sequence data (song) to stop playing back.
This message will be transmitted when pressing the [] (Stop) button
during playback.
Active Sensing (FEH) This is a type of MIDI message used to prevent unexpected results when
a MIDI cable is disconnected or damaged while the instrument is being
played.
Once this message has been received, if no MIDI data is subsequently
received within an interval period, the same function is performed as when
All Sounds Off, All Notes Off, and Reset All Controllers messages are
received, and the device returns to a status in which FEH is not monitored.
The interval period is approximately 300 msec.
Timing Clock (F8H) This message is transmitted with a fixed interval (24 times per 1/4 note) to
synchronize connected MIDI instruments.

There are two Voice Types: „ Normal Voices „ Drum Voices Normal Voice Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-type sounds. You can play over the range of the keyboard at the standard pitch for each key. Normal Voices consist of one or more Elements (see "Element"). Drum Voice Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds. A Drum Voice consists of mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard, or a collection of assigned percussion/drum waves. The Drum Voice is also known as a Drum Kit. C0 C1 C6 Figure 1: Individual drum sounds, different for each key. Element An Element is the smallest unit that makes up a Normal Voice. An Element is created by applying Voice Parameters to sound material. A single Normal Voice can be created by combining several Elements. Drum Key A Drum Key is the smallest unit that makes up a Drum Voice. A Drum Key is assigned to individual notes on the Keyboard. The percussion/Drum wave is assigned to a Drum Key. Voice Edit A function that lets you create your own Voices. Use Voice Edit to adjust or apply Voice Parameters to a Voice. For Normal Voices: „ Use Common Edit to edit the settings that are common to all Elements; „ Use Element Edit to edit the settings for each Element separately. For Drum Voices: „ Use Common Edit to edit the settings that are common to all keys; „ Use Key Edit to edit the settings for each key separately. GM General MIDI (GM) is a worldwide standard for Voice organization and MIDI functions of synthesizers and tone generators. This standard ensures that any song sounds virtually the same on any GM device of any manufacturer. The GM Voice Bank on this synthesizer is designed to appropriately play back GM song data. However, the sound may not be exactly the same as played by the original tone generator. 4 Voice Parameters 1-2 Synthesis Parameters 1-2-1 Oscillator An Oscillator outputs the waveform that determines the basic pitch of an Element and is one unit of the tone generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument. You can: „ Assign the waveform (or basic sound material) to each Element of a Normal Voice or each key of a Drum Voice; „ Set the note range for the Element (Normal Voice); „ Set the Velocity response (Normal Voice); „ Set the XA (eXpanded Articulation) parameters. Element Switch Switches a selected Element On or Off. Elements for which the Element Switch is switched off will not sound. XA Control Determines the functioning of the Expanded Articulation (XA) feature of an Element. The XA feature is sophisticated tone generator system that allows you to more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance techniques. It also provides other unique modes for random and alternate sound changes as you play. For each Element, you can set to: Normal: The Element sounds normally each time you play the note. Legato: When the Mono/Poly parameter is set to Mono, this Element will be played in place of the one which is set to "Normal" of the XA Control parameter when you play the keyboard in legato fashion (playing the next note of a single-note line or melody before releasing the previous note). „ Key off sound: The Element will sound each time you release the note. „ Wave cycle (for multiple Elements): Each Element sounds alternately according to its numerical order. In other words, playing the first note will sound Element 1, the second note Element 2, and so on. „ Wave random (for multiple Elements): Each Element will sound randomly each time you play the note. „ AF 1 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] button is turned On, the Element will sound. „ AF 2 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [2] button is turned On, the Element will sound. „ All AF off: When both the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] and [2] buttons are turned Off, the Element will sound. „ „ To create the desired sound, assign the same Element Group to all Elements that have the same XA features. See "Element Group". Element Group Determines the group for XA Control. The Elements of a group can be called up in sequential order or in random order. All Elements that have the same type of XA features must have the same group number. This setting does not apply when the XA Control parameters of all Elements are set to Normal. 5 Voice Parameters Waveform Bank Specifies the Waveform Bank of an Element or Drum Key (Drum Voice). Preset User: This lets you create User Waveforms based on samples that are recorded in the Sampling mode. „ „ Waveform Category and Number Specifies the waveform of an Element (Normal Voice) or Drum Key (Drum Voice). The waveform is specified as a combination of a Waveform Category and a Waveform Number. Assign Mode (for Drum Voices) Enables or disables double playback of the same note. „ Single: Double or repeated playback of the same note is not possible. The first note will be stopped, then the next note will be sounded. „ Multi: All notes are sounded simultaneously. This allows playback of the same note when it is played multiple times in succession (especially for tambourine and cymbal sounds that you would want to ring out to their full decay). In general, you can use the setting Multi. Keep in mind that the Multi setting consumes overall polyphony and that sounds may be cut off. Receive Note Off (for Drum Voices) Determines whether a Drum Key responds to the MIDI Note Off message or not. „ On: Stops the sound when you release the key (Drum Key). For sustained, non-fading drum sounds. „ Off: Continues the (fading) sound when you release the key (Drum Key). Alternate Group (for Drum Voices) Prevents playback of unnatural combinations of Drum Keys. You should assign Drum Keys that cannot be played simultaneously on a real Drum Kit (like open and closed hi-hats) to the same Alternate Group. Select Off for Drum Keys that can be played simultaneously. Key On Delay Defines the time delay between when a key is pressed and the corresponding sound is actually played. The higher the value, the longer the delay time. Delay Tempo Sync Determines if the Key On Delay is synchronized to the tempo of the Arpeggio or sequencer (Song or Pattern). Delay Tempo Determines the timing of the Key On Delay when the Delay Tempo Sync is set to On. Velocity Cross Fade Determines how gradually the volume of an Element decreases in proportion to the distance of Velocity changes outside the Velocity Limit setting. „ The higher the value, the more gradual the volume decreases. „ 0: No sound outside the Velocity Limit (see "Velocity Limit") is produced. Use this parameter to create natural-sounding Velocity cross fades, in which different Elements change gradually depending on the strength at which you play the keyboard. 6 Voice Parameters Velocity Limit Determines the minimum and maximum Velocity values in which an Element responds. Each Element will only sound for notes played between its specified Velocity Limits. For example, this lets you have one Element sound when you play softly and have a different one sound when you play strongly. If you first specify the maximum value and then the minimum value, for example "93 to 34," then the Velocity range covers both "1 to 34" and "93 to 127." Note Limit Determines the lowest and highest notes of the keyboard range for an Element. The selected Element will sound only when you play notes within this range. If you first specify the highest note and then the lowest note, for example "C5 to C4", then the note range covers both "C-2 to C4" and "C5 to G8." 7 Voice Parameters 1-2-2 Pitch The processing unit that controls the pitch of the wave output from the Oscillator on the tone generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument. This unit controls the pitch of the sound (wave) output from the Oscillator. In the case of a Normal Voice, you can detune separate Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting the Pitch Envelope Generator (Pitch EG), you can control how the pitch changes over time. Coarse Tuning Determines the pitch of each Element (Normal Voice) or each Drum Key (Drum Voice) in semitones. Fine Tuning Determines the pitch of each Element or each Drum Key in cents. The term "cent" refers to one hundredth of a semitone (i.e., 100 cents = 1 semitone). Pitch Velocity Sensitivity Determines how the pitch of the Element or Drum Key responds to Velocity. „ Positive values: The pitch rises more, the harder you play the keyboard. „ Negative values: The pitch falls more, the harder you play the keyboard. „ 0: No change in pitch. Fine Scaling Sensitivity Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or Octave Range) affect the pitch in Fine Tuning of the selected Element, assuming C3 as the basic pitch. „ Positive values: The pitch of lower notes drops and that of higher notes rises. „ Negative values: The pitch of lower notes rises and that of higher notes drops. Random This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for each note you play. „ The higher the value, the greater the pitch variation. „ 0: No pitch change. Pitch Key Follow Sensitivity Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of adjacent notes), assuming the pitch of the Center Key as standard. „ +100% (the normal setting): Adjacent notes are pitched one semitone apart. „ 0%: All notes are the same pitch specified as the Center Key. „ Negative values: The settings are reversed. This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones, such as pitched drum sounds in a Normal Voice. 8 Voice Parameters Pitch Key Follow Sensitivity Center Key Determines the central note or pitch for Pitch Key Follow. The note number set here is the same pitch as normal regardless of the Pitch Key Follow setting. E D F G + – A C B Figure 2: Pitch Key Follow and Center Key A: B: C: D: E: F: G: 1-2-3 Lower range Center Key Higher range Amount of pitch change When Pitch Key Follow = 100 Large Small Pitch EG (Pitch Envelope Generator) This lets you control the transition in pitch from the moment the sound starts to the moment the sound stops. You can create the Pitch EG by setting parameters as illustrated below. When you press a key on the keyboard, the pitch of the Voice will change according to these Pitch EG settings. This is useful for creating automatic changes in pitch, which is effective for Synth Brass sounds. K D J 0 E L F G M N H I B A Figure 3: Pitch Envelope Generator A: Key On: Pressing the key B: Key Off: Releasing the key 9 C Voice Parameters C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: Time Pitch Hold Time Attack Time Decay 1 Time Decay 2 Time Release Time Hold Level Attack Level Decay 1 Level Decay 2 Level = Sustain Level Release Level Hold Time Determines the time between the moment you press a key on the keyboard and the moment the envelope starts to rise. Attack Time Determines the speed of attack from the initial pitch (Hold Level) to the normal pitch of the Voice after the hold time has elapsed. Decay 1 Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the normal pitch (Attack Level) of the Voice to the pitch specified as the Decay 1 Level. Decay 2 Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch specified as the Decay 1 Level to the pitch specified as the Decay 2 Level. Release Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch specified as the Decay 2 Level to the pitch specified as the Release Level when the note is released. Hold Level Determines the initial pitch at the moment the key is pressed. Attack Level Determines the normal pitch of the pressed key. Decay 1 Level Determines the level which the pitch of sound reaches from the Attack Level after the Decay 1 time elapses. Decay 2 Level Determines the sustain-level pitch which will be maintained while a note is held. Release Level Determines the final pitch reached after the note is released. EG Depth Determines the range over which the pitch envelope changes. 0: The pitch does not change. The farther from 0 the value is, the larger the pitch range.

Filters work by allowing portions of the signal lower or higher than a given frequency to pass, and cutting the remainder of the signal. This given frequency is referred to as the Cutoff Frequency. You can produce a relatively brighter or darker sound depending on how you set the Cutoff Frequency. By adjusting the Resonance (which boosts the level of the signal in the area of the Cutoff Frequency), you can produce a distinctive "peaky" tone, making the sound brighter and harder. On the tone generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument, the sound signal output from the Pitch unit is processed by the Filter unit. Cutoff Frequency Determines the Cutoff Frequency for the Filter, or the central frequency around which the Filter is applied. The tonal characteristics of the Voice and function of the Cutoff Frequency differ depending on which Filter Type is selected (see Chapter 1-2-5 Filter Type). 13 Voice Parameters Cutoff Velocity Sensitivity Determines how the Cutoff Frequency responds to Velocity, or the strength with which you play notes. „ Positive values: The Cutoff Frequency rises the stronger you play the keyboard. „ Negative values: The Cutoff Frequency rises the softer you play the keyboard. „ 0: The Cutoff Frequency does not change, regardless of the Velocity. Resonance Resonance is used to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis) applied to the signal at the Cutoff Frequency. This parameter can boost the level of the signal in the area of the Cutoff Frequency. By emphasizing the overtones in this area, this can produce a distinctive "peaky" tone, making the sound brighter and harder. This can be used in combination with the Cutoff Frequency parameter to add further character to the sound. This parameter is available when an LPF, HPF, BPF (excluding the BPFw), or BEF is selected as a Filter Type. Width The Width parameter is used to adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies passed by the filter with the BPFw. This parameter is available when a BPFw is selected as a Filter Type. Resonance Velocity Sensitivity Determines the degree to which Resonance responds to Velocity, or the strength with which you play notes. „ Positive values: The higher the Velocity, the greater the Resonance. „ Negative values: The lower the Velocity, the greater the Resonance. „ 0: No change of the Resonance value. Gain Determines the Gain of the signal sent to the filter. The lower the value, the lower the Gain. The tonal characteristics generated by the filter differ depending on the value set here. Cutoff Key Follow Sensitivity Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or Octave Range) affect the Cutoff Frequency of the selected Element, assuming C3 as the basic pitch. „ Positive values: The Cutoff Frequency drops for lower notes and rises for higher notes. „ Negative values: The Cutoff Frequency rises for lower notes and drops for higher notes. 14 Voice Parameters Cutoff Key Follow Center Key This indicates the central note for Cutoff Key Follow.

When any other Filter Type is selected, this parameter is not available. HPF Cutoff Frequency Determines the central frequency for the Key Follow parameter of the HPF. This parameter is only available for Filter Types LPF12+HPF12 and LPF6+HPF6. HPF Cutoff Key Follow Sensitivity Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or Octave Range) affect the Cutoff Frequency of the HPF. „ Positive values: The Cutoff Frequency drops for lower notes and rises for higher notes. „ Negative values: The Cutoff Frequency rises for lower notes and drops for higher notes. This parameter is only available for Filter Types LPF12+HPF12 and LPF6+HPF6. HPF Cutoff Key Follow Sensitivity Center Key This indicates the central note for HPF Key Follow Sensitivity. 15 Voice Parameters 1-2-5 Filter Type LPF (Low-Pass Filter) This is a Filter Type that only passes signals below the Cutoff Frequency. The sound can be brightened by raising the Cutoff Frequency of the filter. On the other hand, the sound can be darkened by lowering the Cutoff Frequency of the filter. You can produce a distinctive "peaky" sound by raising the Resonance to boost the signal level in the area of the Cutoff Frequency. This Filter Type is most popular and useful for producing classic synthesizer sounds.

Decay 2 Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the Cutoff Frequency specified as the Decay 1 Level to the Cutoff Frequency specified as the Decay 2 Level. Release Time Determines how fast the envelope falls from the Cutoff Frequency specified as the Decay 2 Level to the Cutoff Frequency specified as the Release Level when the note is released. Hold Level Determines the initial Cutoff Frequency at the moment the key is pressed. Attack Level Determines the maximum Cutoff Frequency which the envelope reaches after a key is pressed. Decay 1 Level Determines the level which the Cutoff Frequency reaches from the Attack Level after the Decay 1 time elapses. Decay 2 Level Determines the Cutoff Frequency which will be maintained while a note is held. Release Level Determines the final Cutoff Frequency reached after the note is released. EG Depth Determines the range over which the Cutoff Frequency envelope changes. 0: The Cutoff Frequency does not change. The farther from 0 the value is, the larger the range of the Cutoff Frequency. „ Negative values: The change of the Cutoff Frequency is reversed. „ „ 23 Voice Parameters EG Depth Velocity Sensitivity Determines how the range of the Cutoff Frequency responds to Velocity. Positive values: high Velocities cause the Filter EG range to expand and low Velocities cause it to contract, as shown in Figure 24 and Figure 25. „ Negative values: High Velocities cause the Filter EG range to contract and low Velocities cause it to expand. „ 0: The Filter EG range does not change, regardless of the Velocity. „ Figure 24: Positive Sensitivity: High Velocity, large range Figure 25: Positive Sensitivity: Low Velocity, small range EG Depth Velocity Sensitivity Curve Curve that determines how the Filter EG transition range changes according to the Velocity (strength) with which you play notes on the keyboard. Figure 26 shows an example in which the middle range of Velocities (around 64) causes the Filter EG transition range not to change and the higher/lower range of Velocities causes it to change more rapidly.

You can divide the entire keyboard by setting four Break Points, and assign different Cutoff Frequency Offset values to these Break Points. The Cutoff Frequency changes in a linear fashion between successive Break Points. Table 1 and Figure 30 show an example in which the basic Cutoff Frequency value is 64 and the various Offset values of the Break Points change that basic value accordingly. /i Table 1: Offsets at Break Points Break Point 1 2 3 4 Note C#1 D#2 C3 A4 Offset -4 +10 +17 +4 26 Voice Parameters Y 81 74 68 60 A B C D X Figure 30: Filter Scale A: B: C: D: X: Y: 1-2-8 Break Point 1 Break Point 2 Break Point 3 Break Point 4 Note Cutoff Frequency Break Point 1 - 4 Determines the four Filter Scale Break Points by specifying their respective note numbers. Offset 1 - 4 Determines the offset value of the Cutoff Frequency of each Filter Scale Break Point. Amplitude The Amplitude unit controls the output level (amplitude or volume) of the sound output from the Filter. The signals are sent at this output level to the Effect block (see Chapter 2 Effects). By setting the Amplitude Envelope Generator (AEG), you can control how the Amplitude changes over time. Level Determines the output level of the Element or Drum Key.

This Voice Pan parameter may have little or no audible effect if Pan for a specific element is set to the left position and Pan for another element is set to the right position. Alternate Pan Determines the amount by which the sound is panned alternately left and right for each key you press. The Pan setting is used as the Center Pan position. Higher values increase the width of the Pan range. Random Pan Determines the amount by which the sound of the selected Element is panned randomly left and right for each key you press. The Pan setting is used as the Center Pan position. Scaling Pan Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or Octave Range) affect the Pan position, left and right, of the selected Element. At note C3, the main Pan setting is used for the basic Pan position. „ Positive values: Move the pan position to the left for lower notes and to the right for higher notes. „ Negative values: Move the pan position to the right for lower notes and to the left for higher notes. 30 Voice Parameters 1-2-9 Amplitude EG (Envelope Generator) This lets you control the transition in Amplitude from the moment the sound starts until the moment the sound stops. You can create a custom Amplitude EG by setting parameters as illustrated below. When you press a key on the keyboard, the volume will change according to these EG settings.

Attack Level Determines the maximum level which the envelope reaches after a key is pressed. Decay 1 Level Determines the level which the envelope reaches from the Attack Level after the Decay 1 Time elapses. Decay 2 Level Determines the level which will be maintained while a note is held. 31 Voice Parameters Half Damper Switch Determines if the Half Damper is switched on. When the Half Damper Switch is set to On, holding down the FC3 Foot Controller produces a "half-pedal" effect just as on a real acoustic piano. Half Damper Time Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released while holding down the Foot Controller FC3 with the Half Damper Switch set to On. After releasing the key, you can control the decay time of the sound via the Foot Controller position, with the Half Damper Time of the AEG being the maximum decay value and the Release Time of the AEG being the minimum decay value. When you release the pedal, the decay time after the key is released is equivalent to the AEG Release Time.

Offset 1 - 4 Determines the offset value of the level of each Amplitude Scale Break Point. 1-2-11 LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) The Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) unit of the tone generator block generates a lowfrequency signal. The signal from the LFO can be used to modulate the pitch, filter, and amplitude. Modulating the pitch produces a vibrato effect, modulating the filter produces a wah effect, and modulating the amplitude produces a tremolo effect. You can set the Common LFO which set the basic LFO parameters common to all Elements of the Voice. Also, you can set the Element LFO which set the LFO parameters for each individual Element. LFO Wave Selects the Wave and determines how the LFO waveform modulates the sound. Play Mode Determines whether the LFO cycles repeatedly (loop) or only once (one shot). Speed Determines the speed of the LFO Wave. The higher the value, the faster the speed. 34 Voice Parameters Phase Determines the starting phase point for the LFO Wave when it is reset.

Tempo Speed This parameter allows you to make detailed note value settings that determine how the LFO pulses in sync with the Arpeggio or sequencer. This parameter is only available when the Tempo Sync parameter has been set to On. Key On Reset Determines whether or not the LFO is reset each time a note is played. Off: The LFO cycles freely with no key synchronization. Pressing a key starts the LFO wave at whatever phase the LFO happens to be at that moment. „ X A Figure 42: Key On Reset Off A: X: Key On Time 35 Voice Parameters „ Each-on: The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter.

If you play a second note while the first is being held, the LFO continues cycling according to the same phase as triggered by the first note--in other words, the LFO only resets if the first note is released before the second is played. X A B Figure 44: Key On Reset 1st-on A: B: X: Random Speed Key On (first note) Key On (second note) Time Determines the degree to which the LFO speed changes at random. Higher values result in a larger degree of speed change. 0: Results in the original speed. „ „ This parameter cannot be set when Tempo Sync is set to On. Delay Determines the delay time between the moment you press a key on the keyboard and the moment the LFO comes into effect. A higher value results in a longer delay time. 36 Voice Parameters Fade-In Time Determines the amount of time for the LFO effect to fade in after the Delay time has elapsed. „ A higher value results in a slower fade-in. „ 0: The LFO effect will not fade in but reach the maximum level immediately after the Delay time has elapsed.

The higher the setting, the greater the depth of control. Filter Modulation Depth Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO Wave varies (modulates) the Filter Cutoff Frequency. The higher the setting, the greater the depth of control. Amplitude Modulation Depth Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO Wave varies (modulates) the Amplitude of the sound. The higher the setting, the greater the depth of control. Control Destination Determines the parameters which are to be controlled (modulated) by the LFO Wave. The LFO Wave can control various parameters such as Amplitude modulation depth, Pitch modulation depth, Filter modulation depth and Resonance. 39 Voice Parameters Control Depth Determines the LFO Wave Depth. LFO Element Switch Determines whether or not each Element is to be affected by the LFO. Depth Offset Determines the offset values of the Control Depth parameter for the respective Elements. If the resultant Control Depth value is negative, it will be set to 0. If the resultant Control Depth value is greater than 127, it will be set to 127. LFO Phase Offset Determines the offset values of the Phase parameter for the respective Elements.

Category The keyword Category indicates the instrument characteristics or the type of sound. A Preset Voice is registered to a certain Category. Assignable Function Determines whether the buttons ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] and ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [2] function as latch type or as momentary type. 1 Mode and Assignable Function „ Latch: Pressing the button alternates the lamp status between on 2 Mode and off. „ Momentary: Pressing/holding the button turns the lamp on and releasing the button turns the lamp off. 1-3-2 Ribbon Controller Mode Determines how the Ribbon Controller responds when released. „ Reset: Releasing your finger from the Ribbon Controller automatically returns the value to the center. „ Hold: Releasing your finger from the Ribbon Controller maintains the value at the last point of contact. MIDI Transmit Channel Indicates the MIDI channel over which the keyboard/controller sends MIDI data (to an external sequencer, tone generator, or other device). Play Mode Volume Determines the output level of the Voice. Set this parameter to adjust the balance between the current Voice and other Voices. Note Shift Determines the transpose setting for the amount (in semitones) by which the pitch is raised or lowered. Pitch Bend Range Upper / Pitch Bend Range Lower Determines the maximum Pitch Bend Range in semitones. Examples: Setting the Upper parameter to +12 results in a maximum pitch rise of one octave when the Pitch Bend wheel is moved upwards. Setting the Lower parameter to -12 results in the pitch being lowered up to a maximum of one octave (12 semitones) when the Pitch Bend wheel is moved downwards. Micro Tuning This function lets you change the keyboard scale from normal tuning (equal temperament) to one of a variety of special scales. See Section 1-3-4 Micro Tuning List. You can determine the scale type for each Voice by simply selecting a Tuning Number. Micro Tuning Bank Selects the Micro Tuning Bank. The Preset Bank and User Bank are available. Micro Tuning Number Selects the Micro Tuning Number. The Preset Bank provides several types including the most common: Equal Temperament. See Section 1-3-4 Micro Tuning List. Micro Tuning Root Sets the base note for each scale. For some scales this setting may not be necessary. 41 Voice Parameters Mono/Poly Selects monophonic or polyphonic. Mono: The selected Voice is played back monophonically; only a single note is played back simultaneously. „ Poly: The selected Voice is played back polyphonically; multiple notes or chords can be played back simultaneously. „ For many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), Mono allows a more natural and smooth sounding legato performance than Poly. Key Assign Mode Determines the playing method when the same notes are received continuously in the same channel, and without a corresponding note off message. „ Single: If double playback of the same note is transmitted to the internal tone generator, the first note will be stopped and then the next note will be sounded. „ Multi: When double playback of the same note is transmitted to the internal tone generator, all the notes are sounded simultaneously. Single is useful when two or more instances of the same note are received nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message. To allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to Multi. 1-3-3 Portamento Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from one note played on the keyboard to the next one. Portamento Switch Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current Voice or not. Portamento Time Determines the pitch transition time or rate when Portamento is applied. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. The effect of the parameter depends on the settings of Portamento Time Mode. Portamento Mode Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance. Fingered: Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one). „ Fulltime: Portamento is applied to all notes. „ Portamento Time Mode Determines how the pitch changes in time. Rate1: Pitch changes at the specified rate. Time1: Pitch changes in the specified time. Rate2: Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave. Time2: Pitch changes in the specified time within an octave. Portamento Legato Slope Adjusts the attack of the Voice for Mono legato playing. When the parameter Mono/Poly is set to Mono, legato playing may produce an unnatural attack depending on the waveform assigned to the selected Voice. To solve such a problem, you can use this parameter to adjust the attack of the Voice. Normally, this should be set to a low value for waveforms with short attack times, and to a high value for waveforms with long attack times. 42 Voice Parameters 1-3-4 Micro Tuning List Equal Temperament The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune. Pure Major This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune. You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro Tuning Root parameter. Pure Minor The same as Pure Major, but designed for minor scales. You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro Tuning Root parameter. Werckmeist Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro Tuning Root parameter. Kimberger Johann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this tempered scale to allow performances in any key. You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro Tuning Root parameter. Vallot&Yng Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning, in which the first six fifths are lowered by the same amount. You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro Tuning Root parameter. 1/4 shift The normal equal-tempered scale, shifted up 50 cents. 1/4 tone Twenty-four equally-spaced notes per octave. Play twenty-four notes to move one octave. 1/8 tone Forty-eight equally-spaced notes per octave. Play forty-eight notes to move one octave. Indian Usually observed in Indian music. White keys only. Arabic Usually observed in Arabic music. 43 Voice Parameters 1-3-5 Arpeggio This function lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a key or keys on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas, both in composing and performing. Arpeggio Bank Determines the Arpeggio Bank containing the desired Arpeggio type. Preset Bank: Selects the preset Arpeggio Type. User Bank: Selects an Arpeggio Type you created and stored yourself. „ „ Arpeggio Category/ Sub Category Determines the Arpeggio category and sub category. The Arpeggio types are divided into several categories. The Arpeggio categories are divided into sub categories. Because the sub categories are listed based on the music genre, it is easy to find the sub category appropriate for your desired music style. Arpeggio Switch Determines whether Arpeggio is On or Off. Arpeggio Hold Determines whether the Arpeggio continues cycling after the keys are released. „ Off: The Arpeggio plays only while you hold the keys. „ On: The Arpeggio cycles automatically, even if you release your fingers from the keys. „ Sync-off: Arpeggio playback continues to run silently, even when you release the keys. Pressing any key turns Arpeggio playback on again, and the Arpeggio is heard from the point in the cycle where playback is resumed. Change Timing Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when you select another type during Arpeggio playback. „ Realtime: The Arpeggio type is switched immediately. „ Measure: The Arpeggio type is switched at the top of the next measure. Arpeggio Velocity Limit Determines the lowest and highest Velocity that can trigger Arpeggio playback. This lets you set the Velocity range with which you press the key to trigger Arpeggio playback. You can also create separate low and high trigger ranges for the Arpeggio playback, with a Velocity "hole" in the middle, by specifying the maximum value first. For example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets you play the Arpeggio from two separate Velocity ranges: soft (1 to 34) and hard (93 to 127). Notes played at middle Velocities (35 to 92) do not play the Arpeggio. Arpeggio Note Limit Determines the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggio's note range. Notes played in this range trigger the Arpeggio. For example, setting a Note Limit of C5 - C4 lets you trigger the Arpeggio by playing notes in the two ranges of C-2 to C4 and C5 to G8; notes played between C4 and C5 have no effect on the Arpeggio. Arpeggio Tempo Determines the Arpeggio Tempo. 44 Voice Parameters Key Mode Determines how the Arpeggio plays back when playing the keyboard. Sort: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the same sequence plays, no matter what order you play the notes. „ Thru: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the resulting sequence differs depending on the order of the notes. „ Direct: Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the notes you play on the keyboard are heard. When the Arpeggio plays back, events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the sound of your keyboard performance. Use this setting when the Arpeggio types include non-note data or when you set the Arpeggio Category to Control. „ Sort+Direct: The Arpeggio is played back according to the Sort setting, and the notes played are also sounded. „ Thru+Direct: The Arpeggio is played back according to the Thru setting, and the notes played are also sounded. „ Velocity Mode Adjusts the Velocity of the Arpeggio notes. „ Original: The Arpeggio plays back at the preset Velocities included in the Arpeggio sequence data. „ Thru: The Arpeggio plays back according to the Velocity of your playing. For example, if you press the keys strongly, the playback volume of the Arpeggio is high. Output Octave Shift Shifts the pitch of the Arpeggio up or down in octaves. Unit Multiply Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo. By using this parameter, you can create a different Arpeggio type from the original one. „ 200%: The playback time will be doubled and the tempo is halved. „ 100%: The normal playback time. „ 50%: The playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled. Quantize Value Determines to which beats the note data in the Arpeggio will be aligned, or determines to which beats in the Arpeggio the swing is applied. Quantize Strength Sets the "strength" by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats. „ 0%: No quantization. „ 50%: The note events are pulled halfway between 0% and 100%. „ 100%: Exact timing as set by Quantize Value. Swing Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel. „ +1 and higher: Delay the Arpeggio notes. „ -1 and lower: Advance the Arpeggio notes. „ 0: Exact timing as set by Quantize Value, resulting in no swing. Judicious use of this setting lets you create swing rhythms and triplet feels, such as shuffle and bounce. 45 Voice Parameters Velocity Rate Determines how much the Velocity of Arpeggio playback is offset from the original value. „ 100%: The original Velocities are used. „ Below 100%: Reduces the Velocities of the Arpeggio notes. „ Above 100%: Increases the Velocities. If the resulting Velocity value is 0, it will be set to 1. If the resulting Velocity value is greater than 127 it will be set to 127. Gate Time Rate Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. „ 100%: Indicates that the original Gate Times are used. „ Below 100%: Shortens the Gate Times of the Arpeggio notes. „ Above 100%: Lengthens the Gate Times of the Arpeggio notes. The Gate Time cannot be decreased beyond its normal minimum of 1; any values outside that range will automatically be limited to the minimum. Octave Range Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves. „ Positive values: Increase the Octave Range of the Arpeggio playback upwards. „ Negative values: Increase the Octave Range of the Arpeggio playback downwards. Loop Determines whether the Arpeggio plays a single time or continuously, while notes are held. „ On: The Arpeggio cycles while notes are held. „ Off: The Arpeggio plays only once even if notes are held. Trigger Mode Determines how Arpeggio playback is started and stopped. Gate: Pressing the key starts Arpeggio playback and releasing the note stops it. „ Toggle: Pressing the key starts/stops Arpeggio playback and releasing the note does not affect Arpeggio playback. This Mode overrules the Arpeggio Hold setting. In other words, even when the Arpeggio Hold parameter is set to On, pressing the key start/stops Arpeggio playback. „ Normally, this parameter should be set to Gate. Accent Velocity Threshold Determins the minimum Velocity that will trigger the Accent Phrase. Some Arpeggio types include special sequence data called Accent Phrases, which will be played back only when Velocities higher than the specified threshold are received. Accent Start Quantize Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the Velocity higher than the specified threshold in Accent Velocity Threshold is received. „ Off: The Accent Phrase starts as soon as the Velocity is received. „ On: The Accent Phrase starts on the beat specified for each Arpeggio type after the Velocity is received. Random SFX Determins whether Random SFX is active or not. Some Arpeggio types feature the Random SFX (Sound Effect) function, which will trigger a special sound when the note is released--for example, the fret noise of a guitar. 46 Voice Parameters Random SFX Velocity Offset Determines the offset value by which the Random SFX notes will be shifted from their original Velocities. If the resulting Velocity is 0, it will be set to 1. If the resulting Velocity is greater than 127, it will be set to 127. Random SFX Key On Defines the way in which the Velocity of the Random SFX special sound Control is determined. „ On: The Random SFX special sound is played with a preprogrammed Velocity. „ Off: The Random SFX special sound is played with the Velocity generated when the key is pressed. Fixed SD/BD (for Drum Voices) 1-3-6 Determines whether or not C1 and D1 are fixed as notes for Snare Drum (SD) and Bass Drum (BD) in Arpeggio playback. When this parameter is set to On, C1 will be used as the note of the Snare Drum and D1 will be used as the note of the Bass Drum in Arpeggio playback. Although most Drum Kits assign the Snare Drum sound to C1 and the Bass Drum to D1, certain Drum Kits additionally assign these sounds to other notes and certain Arpeggio Types are created by using those different notes. Accordingly, you may hear improper sounds depending on the selected Arpeggio Type and Drum Kit. Setting this parameter to On may solve such problems. Controller Set The controllers such as knobs on the front panel can be used to change and adjust a variety of parameters for each Voice--both in real time and simultaneously. For example, keyboard aftertouch can be used to control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel can be used to control tonal brightness. The function settings for all controllers are referred to as a Controller Set, and several Controller Sets can be created for each Voice. The controller is referred to as Source, and the controlled function is referred to as Destination. Source Determines which panel controller is to be assigned and used for the selected Controller Set. You can assign multiple functions to a controller. Destination Determines the parameter that is controlled by the Source. You can select any of the available parameters for each controller, such as volume, pitch and LFO depth. Depth Determines the degree to which the Source affects the Destination parameter. For negative values, the controller operation is reversed: maximum controller settings produce minimum parameter changes. Controller Set Element Switch Determines whether or not the selected controller affects each individual Element of the current Voice. This parameter is disabled when the Destination is set to a parameter that is not related to the Voice Elements. 47 Voice Parameters 1-3-7 Effect The Effect unit applies Effects to the output of the tone generator block and audio input block, processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound of the created Voice as desired. The unprocessed sound is called "dry" sound, and the processed sound is referred to as "wet." Master Effect Master effects are applied to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound. System Effect System Effects are applied to the overall sound: a Voice, an entire Performance, a Song, etc. With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”) is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and the original sound of the Parts. Insertion Effect Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all parts. It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. The synthesizer features some sets of Insertion Effects (one set has A and B units). Element Out Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each individual Element of the current Normal Voice. Set this to Thru to bypass the Insertion Effects for the specified element. When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the signal of each Element is output to the same process for the Vocoder regardless of this setting. Key Out Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each individual Drum Key of the current Drum Voice. Parameters can be set for each Drum Key. When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the signal from each Drum Key is output to the same process for the Vocoder regardless of this setting. 48 Voice Parameters Insertion Effect Connection Lets you set the effect routing for Insertion Effects A and B. Parallel: Signals processed with the Insertion Effect A and B blocks are sent to the Master Effect, Master EQ, Reverb and Chorus blocks. „ A B „ Figure 51: Insertion Effect Connection Parallel Ins A>B: Signals processed with the Insertion Effect A are sent to the Insertion Effect B and signals processed with the Insertion Effect B are sent to the Master Effect, Master EQ, Reverb and Chorus blocks. A B „ Figure 52: Insertion Effect Connection Ins A>B Ins B>A: Signals processed with the Insertion Effect B are sent to the Insertion Effect A and signals processed with the Insertion Effect A are sent to the Master Effect, Master EQ, Reverb and Chorus blocks. A B „ Figure 53: Insertion Effect Connection Ins B>A Vocoder: the Insertion Effects A and B are unified, then used as the Vocoder. Signals processed with the Vocoder block are sent to the Master Effect, Master EQ, Reverb and Chorus blocks. V Figure 54: Insertion Effect Connection Vocoder V: Vocoder Chorus The Chorus System Effect block uses various types of modulation processing, including flanger and phaser, to enhance the sound in a variety of ways. Chorus Send Adjusts the Chorus send level. The higher the value the deeper the Chorus. Reverb The Reverb System Effect block adds a warm ambience to the sound, simulating the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club. Reverb Send Adjusts the reverb send level. The higher the value the deeper the Reverb. 49 Voice Parameters 1-3-8 Chorus to Reverb Determines the Send level of the signal sent from the Chorus Effect to the Reverb Effect. The higher the value, the deeper the Reverb that is applied to the Chorus processed signal. Reverb Return Determines the Return level of the Reverb Effect. Chorus Return Determines the Return level of the Chorus Effect. Reverb Pan Determines the pan position of the Reverb effect sound. Chorus Pan Determines the pan position of the Chorus effect sound. EQ (Equalizer) Usually an equalizer (EQ) is used to correct the sound output from amplifiers or speakers to match the special character of the room, or to change the tonal character of the sound. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, and adjustments are made to the sound by raising or lowering the level of each band. By adjusting the sound according to the genre (classical music being more refined, pop music more crisp, and rock music more dynamic) you can draw out the special characteristics of the music and make your performance more enjoyable. 2-Band EQ This Effect type is an equalizer that allows equalization of the Low and High bands. Boost 6, Boost 12, Boost 18 Boosts the entire band of the selected Element by +6dB, +12dB, and +18dB respectively. Parametric EQ (PEQ) Use this to attenuate or boost signal levels (gain) around the Frequency. An equalizer in which all of the parameters of equalization can be adjusted. The adjustable parameters include: „ Center Frequency „ Gain (boost/cut) of the Center Frequency „ Bandwidth (also called Q or Shape; see "Q") Y + X 0 – Figure 55: PEQ Frequency Determines the center frequency. Frequencies around this point are attenuated/boosted by the Gain setting. Gain Determines the level gain for the Frequency, or the amount the selected frequency band is attenuated or boosted. 50 Voice Parameters Q A parameter that determines the EQ bandwidth, or range of frequencies, to be attenuated/boosted. Consequently, this parameter determines the frequency characteristic curve. The Q setting is only available for the Mid band, which is a Peaking type EQ. The EQ Shape of the High and Low band is of the Shelving type. 51 Effects 2 Effects 2-1 Basic Terms 2-1-1 Definisions VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modelling) VCM is a technology that authentically models the elements in analog circuitry (such as resistors and capacitors).

The types of MIDI data include Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types. This synthesizer can control other MIDI devices by transmitting note-related data and various types of controller data. It can also be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, Voices and Effects, change parameter values, and of course play the Voices specified for the various parts. 3-1-2 MIDI channels MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 through 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel. Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program. MIDI operates on the same basic principle. A B 1 2 B 2 Figure 56: MIDI Channels A: Weather Report B: News The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument's MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument. 66 MIDI A B C Figure 57: MIDI Cable A: MIDI Transmit channel 2 B: MIDI cable C: MIDI Receive channel 2 3-1-3 MIDI ports The above-mentioned sixteen-channel limit can be overcome by using separate MIDI "ports," each supporting sixteen channels. While a single MIDI cable is equipped to handle data over up to sixteen channels simultaneously, a USB connection is capable of handling far more, thanks to the use of MIDI ports. Each MIDI port can handle sixteen channels, and the USB connection allows up to eight ports, enabling you to use up to 128 channels on your computer. 3-1-4 MIDI messages MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: „ Channel messages (see section 3-2 Channel Messages) and „ System messages (see section 3-3 System Messages). The following explanations show examples of MIDI messages. For more details about MIDI messages (for example, for editing recorded MIDI data) please refer to any of the fine MIDI guidebooks that are commercially available. 67 MIDI 3-2 Channel Messages 3-2-1 Note On/Off Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played: „ Note On: Generated when a key is pressed. „ Note Off: Generated when a key is released. Each message includes a specific note number, which corresponds to the key that is pressed, plus a Velocity value based on how hard the key is struck. Reception note range = C -2 (0) - G8 (127), C3 = 60 Velocity range = 1 - 127 (only the Note On Velocity is received) 3-2-2 Pitch Bend Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration. This message is a numerical representation of pitch bend wheel position. 3-2-3 Program Change Messages that determine which Voice to select for each part. In combination with Bank Select, you can select not only basic Voice numbers, but also variation Voice bank numbers. When you specify Program Change as a number in the range of 0 - 127, specify a number that is one less than the program number listed in the Voice List. For example, to specify program number 128, you would actually enter Program Change 127. 3-2-4 Control Change Control Change messages let you select a Voice bank, control volume, panning, modulation, portamento time, brightness, and various other controller parameters, through specific Control Change numbers. Each Control Change number corresponds to a specific parameter. Bank Select MSB (Control #0) and Bank Select LSB (Control #32) Messages that select variation Voice bank numbers by combining and sending the MSB and LSB from an external device. The functions of MSB and LSB messages differ depending on the tone generator mode: „ MSB numbers select Voice Type (Normal Voice or Drum Voice); „ LSB numbers select Voice banks. A new bank selection will not become effective until the next Program Change message is received. To change the Voices (including the Voice banks), transmit Bank Select MSB, LSB, then Program Change in this order as a set. Modulation (Control #1) Messages that control vibrato depth using the Modulation Wheel. „ 127: Maximum vibrato. „ 0: Vibrato off. 68 MIDI Portamento Time (Control #5) Messages that control the duration of portamento, or a continuous pitch glide between successively played notes. „ 127: Maximum portamento time. „ 0: Minimum portamento time. When the parameter Portamento Switch (Control #65) is set to On, the value set here can adjust the speed of the pitch change. These parameters specify the value of RPN MSB and RPN LSB events. Data Entry MSB (Control #6) and Data The parameter value is determined by combining the MSB and LSB. Entry LSB (Control #38) Main Volume (Control #7) Messages that control the volume of each part. „ 127: Maximum volume. „ 0: Volume off. This provides detailed control over the level balance among the parts. Pan (Control #10) Messages that control the stereo panning position of each part (for stereo output). „ 127: Positions the sound to the far right. „ 0: Positions the sound to the far left. Expression (Control #11) Messages that control intonation expression of each part during performance. This parameter produces volume variations during playback: „ 127: Maximum volume. „ 0: Volume off. Hold1 (Control #64) Messages that control sustain on/off. Notes playing when the pedal is pressed will be sustained. „ 64 - 127: Sustain on. „ 0 - 63: Sustain off. When the pedal supports half-damper playing, a higher value results in longer sustain time. Portamento (Control #65) Messages that control portamento On/Off. 64 - 127: Portamento On. 0 - 63: Portamento Off. „ „ When Mono/Poly is set to Mono and this parameter is On, you can effectively perform legato passages by playing successive notes smoothly with no breaks between notes (in other words, holding down one key and not releasing it until the next is played). The length (degree) of the portamento effect is controlled by Portamento Time (Control #5). Sostenuto (Control #66) Messages that control sostenuto On/Off. 64 - 127: Sostenuto On. 0 - 63: Sostenuto Off. „ „ Holding specific notes and then pressing and holding the sostenuto pedal will sustain those notes as you play subsequent notes, until the pedal is released. 69 MIDI Harmonic Content (Control #71) Messages that adjust the filter Resonance set for each part. The value set here is an offset value which will be added to or subtracted from the Voice data. Release Time (Control #72) Messages that adjust the Amplitude EG Release Time set for each part. This is an offset that is added to or subtracted from the Voice data. Attack Time (Control Messages that adjust the Amplitude EG Attack Time set for each part. #73) This is an offset that is added to or subtracted from the Voice data. Brightness (Control #74) Messages that adjust the filter Cutoff Frequency set for each part. This is an offset that is added to or subtracted from the Voice data. Decay Time (Control #75) Messages that adjust the Amplitude EG decay time set for each part. This is an offset that is added to or subtracted from the Voice data. Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level) (Control #91) Messages that adjust the send level for the Reverb effect. Effect3 Depth (Chorus Send Level) (Control #93) Messages that adjust the send level for the Chorus effect. Effect4 Depth (Variation Send Level) (Control #94) Messages that adjust the send level for the Variation effect. Data Increment (Control #96) and Data Decrement (Control #97) Messages that increase or decrease the MSB value of pitch bend sensitivity, fine tune, or coarse tune in steps of 1. You will need to assign one of those parameters using the RPN in the external device in advance. NRPN MSB (Control #99) and NRPN LSB (Control #98) Used primarily as offset values for vibrato, filter, EG and other settings. Data Entry is used to set the parameter value after specifying the parameter using the NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) MSB and LSB. Once an NRPN is specified, the following data entry message received on the same channel is processed as the value of that NRPN. Prevent operational errors by transmitting an RPN Null message (7FH, 7FH) after using these messages to perform a control operation. RPN MSB (Control #101) and RPN LSB (Control #100) Used primarily as offset values for pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, and other part settings. First send the RPN (Registered Parameter Number) MSB and RPN LSB to specify the parameter which is to be controlled. Then use Data Increment/Decrement to set the value of the specified parameter. Once the RPN has been set for a channel, subsequent data entry will be recognized as the same RPN's value change. Therefore, after you use the RPN, you should set a Null (7FH, 7FH) value to avoid unexpected results. The RPN numbers that can be received, are listed in Table 3: RPN Parameter List. The NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB cannot be handled by the tone generator block in some synthesizers, although it can be recorded to a Song/Pattern track. /i 70 MIDI Table 3: RPN Parameter List RPN 3-2-5 Parameter Name Data Entry (Range) MSB Function MSB LSB LSB 000 000 Pitch Bend Sensitivity 000 - 024 - Specifies the amount of pitch bend produced in response to pitch bend data in semitone increments. 000 001 Fine Tune -64 - +63 - Adjusts the tuning in cent increments. 000 002 Coarse Tune -24 - +24 - Adjusts the tuning in semitone increments. 127 127 Null - - Voids the RPN and NRPN settings so no tone generator settings are changed when subsequent Data Entry messages are received. Channel Mode message All Sounds Off (Control #120) Clears all sounds currently sounding on the specified channel. However, the status of channel messages such as Note On and Hold On is maintained. Reset All Controllers Resets all controllers to their initial values. (Control #121) However, some controllers are not affected. All Notes Off (Control Clears all notes currently on for the specified channel. #123) However, if Hold1 or Sostenuto is on, notes will continue sounding until these are turned off. 3-2-6 Omni Mode Off (Control #124) Performs the same operation as when an All Notes Off message is received. The receive channel is set to 1. Omni Mode On (Control #125) Performs the same operation as when an All Notes Off message is received. Only the receive channel is set to Omni On. Mono (Control #126) Performs the same operation as when an All Sound Off message is received. If the 3rd byte parameter (the parameter that determines the mono number) is 0 - 16, the parts corresponding to those channels are set to Mono. Poly (Control #127) Performs the same function as when an All Sounds Off message is received. Sets the corresponding channel to Poly Mode. Channel After Touch Messages that let you control the sounds by the pressure you apply to the keys after the initial striking of the keys, over the entire channel. 3-2-7 Polyphonic After Touch Messages that let you control the sounds by the pressure you apply to the keys after the initial striking of the keys, for each individual key. 71 MIDI 3-3 System Messages 3-3-1 System Exclusive Messages Changes internal tone generator settings such as Voice and effect settings, remote switch control, tone generator more switching, and others via MIDI. The Device Number of the synthesizer must match the Device Number of the external MIDI device when transmitting/receiving bulk data, parameter changes or other System Exclusive Messages. System Exclusive Messages control various functions of this synthesizer, including master volume and master tuning, tone generator mode, effect type and various other parameters. Some System Exclusive Messages are called Universal Messages (for example, GM System On) and do not require the Device Number. 3-3-2 General MIDI (GM) System On When this message is received, the synthesizer will receive the MIDI messages that are compatible with GM System Level 1, and consequently will not receive Bank Select messages. When the instrument receives the GM System On message, each receive channel of parts 1 - 16 (in a Multi) will be assigned to 1 - 16. Make sure that the interval between this message and the first note data of the song is a quarter note or longer. Data Format: F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 (Hexadecimal). MIDI Master Volume When this message is received, the Volume MSB will be effective for the System Parameter. Data Format: F0 7F 7F 04 01 ll mm F7 (Hexadecimal), in which: „ ll (LSB) = ignored; „ mm (MSB) = appropriate volume value. Mode Change When this message is received, the mode of the synthesizer changes. Data Format: F0 43 1n 7F 0D 0A 00 01 0m F7 (Hexadecimal), in which: „ n = Device Number; „ m = 0 - 6. System Common Message System Common messages also control the sequencer. 3-3-3 MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame (F1H) This message lets the current MIDI sequence data position generate in absolute time (hours/minutes/seconds/frames). Song Position Pointer (F2H) This message lets the start position for the MIDI sequence data specify. Song Select (F3H) This message lets the number of the MIDI sequence data specify. System Realtime Messages System Common messages control the sequencer. Start (FAH) This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back from the beginning. This message will be transmitted when pressing the [>] (Play) button at the top of the Song or Pattern. Continue (FBH) This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back from the current song position. This message will be transmitted when pressing the [>] (Play) button at the middle of the Song or Pattern. 72 MIDI Stop (FCH) This message causes MIDI sequence data (song) to stop playing back. This message will be transmitted when pressing the [„] (Stop) button during playback. Active Sensing (FEH) This is a type of MIDI message used to prevent unexpected results when a MIDI cable is disconnected or damaged while the instrument is being played. Once this message has been received, if no MIDI data is subsequently received within an interval period, the same function is performed as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off, and Reset All Controllers messages are received, and the device returns to a status in which FEH is not monitored. The interval period is approximately 300 msec. Timing Clock (F8H) This message is transmitted with a fixed interval (24 times per 1/4 note) to synchronize connected MIDI instruments. 73 Yamaha Web Site (English only) http://www.yamahasynth.com Yamaha Manual Library http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/ U.R.G., Digital Musical Instruments Division ©2011 Yamaha Corporation A0
