■Release Rate (001 to 127)

This parameter controls the speed of a tone’s release. The greater the value, the faster the release of the selected amp envelope.

R e l R= 0 1 2

■Pitch Envelope Set (00 to 45)

This parameter controls the pitch of a tone over time.

P e n v = 0 0

■Pitch (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls the overall pitch of the tone. A greater positive value raises the pitch from standard, while a negative value lowers the pitch. A setting of zero sets the pitch to the standard setting for the selected tone.

P t c h = 0 0

■Transpose (–12 to 12)

This parameter raises and lowers overall tuning by semitone units. A setting of –12 is one octave lower, while 12 is 1 octave higher.

T r a n = 0 0

■Level (000 to 127)

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone. The greater the value, the greater the volume. Setting a level of zero means that the tone does not sound at all.

L v e l = 0 9 6

■Touch Sensitivity (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls changes in the volume of the tone in accordance with the pressure applied to the keyboard keys. A greater positive value increases the volume of the output as pressure increases, while a negative value decreases volume with increased keyboard pressure. A setting of zero specifies no change in output volume in accordance with keyboard pressure.

T s n s = - 3 2

■Pan (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls the stereo center point when using the key- board's built-in speakers and when otherwise producing stereo out- put. A larger value moves the center point to the right, while a smaller value moves it to the left.

P a n = 0 0

■Filter Sensitivity (000 to 127)

This parameter controls changes in the quality of the tone in accordance with pressure applied to the keyboard keys. A greater value increases the change in tone quality as pressure increases, while a smaller value decreases the change in tone quality. A setting of zero specifies no change.

F s n s = 1 2 7

733A-E-037A

■Filter Level (000 to 127)

This parameter controls the extent to which the digital filter is ap- plied. The greater the value, the more open the filter and the clearer the sound produced. A smaller value softens the sound.

F l e v = 1 2 7User Tone Creation Hints

The following hits provide helpful advice on making user tone creation a bit quicker and easier.

Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to create. Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are trying to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset tone that is similar. If you want to use a layered tone, start out with a 2DCO tone.

Determine the most important parameter.

The PCM Set and Amp Envelope Set parameters are the major factors that determine the overall personality of a tone. Start out with these two parameters to get the general sound you want, and then use the other parameters to add the finishing touches.

Experiment with various different settings.

There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like. Let your imagination run free and experiment with different combinations. You may be surprised at what you can achieve.

Naming a User Tone and Storing It In Memory

The following procedure shows how to assign a name to a user tone and store the tone in memory. Once a tone is stored, you can call it up just as you do with a preset tone.
