Porta Lgt Slope
(Portamento Legato Slope)
When the 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 should be set to a high value for waveforms with long attack times.
Settings: 0 – 7
Micro Tune Bank
(Micro Tuning Bank)
Determines the Micro Tuning Bank.
Settings: preset, user
preset................................ Contains the 13 preset Micro Tuning types.
user
.....................................Contains your original Micro Tuning types created in the Micro Tune display (page 102) of the
Utility mode.
Micro Tune No.
(Micro Tuning Number)
Determines the Micro Tuning number. The Preset Bank provides 13 types, including equal
temperament, which is the most commonly used tuning system. For details about Micro Tuning, refer
to the “Micro Tuning” (page 87) section in the Supplementary information.
Settings: Preset Bank: 1 – 13 (See the Micro Tuning list on page 87)
User Bank: 1 – 8
Micro Tune Root
(Micro Tuning Root)
Sets the base note for each scale. For some scales this setting may not be necessary.
Settings: C – B
Audition No.
(Audition Phrase Number)
Selects the type of the Audition phrase.
Settings: 001 – 285
Audition Note Shift
(Audition Phrase Note Shift)
Adjusts the pitch in semitone increments.
Settings: -24 – +0 – +24
Audition Vel Shift
(Audition Phrase Velocity Shift)
Determines the offset value by which the Audition Phrase will be shifted from their original velocities.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
3 Arp Select (Arpeggio Select)
Determines whether the item being edited will commonly affect all five Arpeggios assigned to each Voice (“Arp Edit”), or affect only the
selected Arpeggio (“Arp 1 – 5 Type”).
Arp Sw
(Arpeggio Switch)
Determines whether Arpeggio playback is on or off. You can also turn this on or off from the front
panel with the [AUDITION] button when the “Audition Button” (page 99) in the Utility General window
is set to “arpeggio sw.”
Settings: off, on
Arp Select
(Arpeggio Select)
Select the desired Arpeggio from Arpeggios 1 5. The 8th note icon shown in the settings indicates
some Arpeggio Type (other than “off”) is selected in the Arpeggio.
Settings: Arp 1 – Arp 5
Arp Edit (Arpeggio Edit)
Common settings for the five Arpeggios assigned to each Voice.
Arp Sw
(Arpeggio Switch)
Determines whether Arpeggio playback is on or off. This is the same function as the “Arp Sw” in the
Arp Select display.
Settings: off, on
Arp Hold
(Arpeggio Hold)
When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles automatically, even if Note Off message is received,
and it continues to cycle until the next Note On message is received.
Settings: sync-off, off, on
sync-off.............................. When set to “sync-off,” the Arpeggio playback continues to run silently, even when Note Off
message is received. Receiving a Note On message turns the Arpeggio playback on again.
n When receiving the MIDI sustain message (control change #64) with “Arp Sw” set to “on,” you can obtain the same
result by setting “Arp Hold” to “on.”
Arp Tempo
(Arpeggio Tempo)
Determines the Arpeggio Tempo. This parameter can be changed directly via the Knob.
Settings: 5 – 300
n If you are using this instrument with an external sequencer, DAW software, or MIDI device, and you want to
synchronize it with that device, set the “MIDI Sync” parameter in the Utility MIDI window (page 99) to “external” or
“auto.” When “MIDI Sync” is set to “auto” (only when MIDI clock is transmitted continuously) or “external,” the
Tempo parameter here indicates “external” and cannot be changed.
Velocity Rate Determines how much the velocity of the Arpeggio playback is offset from the original value. A
setting of 100% means the original velocities are used. Settings below 100% will reduce the
velocities of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will increase them. If the resultant
velocity value is less than zero it will be set to 1, and if the resultant velocity is greater than 128 it will
be set to 127.
Settings: 0 – 200%
Gate Time Rate Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value.
A setting of 100% means the original gate times are used. Settings below 100% will shorten the gate
times of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will lengthen them. The Gate Time
cannot be decreased beyond its normal minimum of 1; any values outside that range will
automatically be limited to the minimum.
Settings: 0 – 200%
