Using the Tone Editor

(1)Tone Characteristic Waveform

• Tone Setting

Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the original tone.

(2)Volume Characteristic Parameters

These parameters control how the tone changes over time, from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays. You can specify changes in volume and sound characteristics.

• Attack time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate where it gradually rises, or something in between.

• Release time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to zero after a keyboard key is released. You can specify a release that ranges from a sudden fall to zero, to one that gradually falls to zero.

• Cutoff Frequency

The cutoff frequency is a parameter for adjusting timbre by cutting any frequency that is higher than a specific frequency. A larger cutoff frequency produces a brighter (harder) timbre, while a smaller frequency produces a darker (softer) timbre.

Level

(3) Tone Pitch Parameters

• Vibrato Type, Vibrato Delay, Vibrato Rate, Vibrato

Depth

These parameters adjust the vibrato effect, which causes periodic changes in the tone.

• Octave Shift

This parameter controls the octave of all tones.

(4) Tone Characteristic Setting Parameters

• Volume

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone.

• Touch Sense

This parameter controls changes in volume and timbre in accordance with the relative amount of pressure applied to the keyboard keys. You can specify more volume for stronger pressure and less volume or a lighter pressure, or you can specify the same volume regardless of how much pressure is applied to the keys.

Reverb Send, Chorus Send, DSP Line, DSP Type, DSP Parameters

These parameters control the effects applied to tones.
