The Pitch Function [60 PITCH]
The Pitch (button [60]) function lets you transpose the selected Drum up
or down one octave, and lets you modulate the Drum’s pitch with
velocity.
Tuning the Drum Sound
Button: [EDIT] [60 PITCH]
Page: 1
Parameter: Tune (-12.00 to +12.00 semitones)
This sets the tuning of the selected Drum in 25-cent increments.
Setting Pitch Velocity Sensitivity
Button: [EDIT] [60 PITCH]
Page: 2
Parameter: VEL>PITCH (0 to 7)
This determines how much the selected Drum’s tuning will be affected
by velocity. The higher the value, the higher the pitch will be as you play
harder.
Setting the Velocity Filter Curve [70 FILTER]
Button: [EDIT] [70 FILTER]
Page: 1
Parameter: VEL>FILTER (0 to 3)
The Filter function lets you control the brightness of the selected Drum
with keyboard velocity. As this value is increased, keyboard velocity will
have a greater effect on the filter frequency. Playing softly will result in a
duller sound, while playing harder will result in a brighter sound.
The Amp/Range Function [80 AMP/RANGE]
The Amp/Range Function (button [80]) is where you choose the velocity
curve and keyboard range for the drum sound.
Choosing the Velocity Curve
Button: [EDIT] [80 AMP/RANGE]
Page: 1
Parameter: VelCrv (see choices in “Editing Programs”
chapter)
This determines how the Drum will respond to an increase in velocity
values from the keyboard or MIDI. A LINEAR curve is the norm,
where the volume increases as you play harder. The velocity curves are
the same as those for Keyboard Mode, described under the
AMP/RANGE function in the “Editing Programs” chapter.
