Creating a Patch

Parameter

Value

Description

 

 

 

PAN

L64–63R

Specifies the stereo position of the Tone. L64 places the Tone hard left, 0 puts it dead-

(Tone Pan)

 

center and 63R pans it hard right.

*The overall panning of the entire Patch is set by the Patch Pan parameter (PATCH COM- MON p. 46), shifting the Tone Pan values of its individual Tones leftward or rightward by the selected amount.

PAN KF

-100–+100

Use this parameter when you want each note’s keyboard position to affect its stereo

(Tone Pan Key follow)

 

location. Higher settings cause a greater shifting of the Tone’s original pan position as

 

 

you move further away from Middle C (C4), where the original stereo TVA Pan value

 

 

remains in effect. Positive (+) settings cause notes above Middle C to be panned right-

 

 

ward. Negative (-) settings cause them to be panned leftward.

RANDOM PAN DEPTH

0–63

Use this parameter to activate random panning, note-by-note. Higher values result in

(Tone Random Pan Depth)

 

more extreme fluctuations in the Tone’s stereo placement.

ALT PAN DEPTH

L63–63R

This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and right each time a key is

(Tone Alternate Pan Depth)

 

pressed. Higher values result in a greater left/right width. You can select the stereo

 

 

placement of the first key using this parameter—its opposite is used for the second

 

 

note, and so on back and forth. If you want to alternate the pan position of two Tones,

 

 

set them to the exact opposite L and R settings.

ENV TIME KF

Use this parameter when you want a note’s keyboard position to affect times T2–T4 of

the TVA envelope. Higher settings change the times by a greater amount as you move

 

 

away from Middle C (C4)—at Middle C, the original T1–T4 settings are in effect. Pos-

 

 

itive (+) settings cause the times to shorten as you play above Middle C. Negative (-)

 

 

settings cause the times to lengthen as you play above Middle C. (p. 55)

ENV T1 SENS

-63–+63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics to affect T1 (Time 1)

(TVA Envelope Time 1 Velocity

 

of the TVA envelope. If you want T1 to be sped up for strongly played notes, set this

parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a nega-

to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

 

 

 

ENV T1–T4

0–127

Specify the TVA envelope times. Higher settings lengthen the time until the next vol-

(TVA Envelope Time 1–4)

 

ume level is reached. (For example, T2 is the time over which L1 changes to L2.)

ENV L1–L3

0–127

Specify the TVA envelope levels. These settings specify how the volume changes at

(TVA Envelope Level 1–3)

 

each point, relative to the standard volume.
