Creating a Patch

PATCH WG (Patch Wave Group)

This set of parameters allows you to select the PCM waveform that serves as the basis for the currently selected Tone, apply effects to the waveform, and control its pitch.

TONE DELAY

 

This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released) and the moment the Tone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actually begins to sound. Since you can adjust the timing of each Tone in a Patch, you can create effects in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

which pressing a single key produces two or more sounds occurring at different times. If you don’t wish to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

use Tone Delay, set Tone Dly to NORMAL and Tone Delay Time to 0.
