Receive Note Off

Use this parameter to enable/disable the reception of the Note Off (Key Off) message.

Yes	The sound will stop as soon as you release the
	key.
No	The sound will continue playing up to the end
	of the sample. The Note Off message is
	ignored.
	Warning: If the “Single Trigger” parameter is set
	to No, and the sound is looped, the sound will
	play endlessly. In an “emergency” situation, use
	the Panic command (see “START/STOP” on
	page 15).

Exclusive Group

Exclusive Groups are sets of mutually exclusive keys, stopping each other. For example, if the Open Hi-Hat and Closed Hi- Hat are assigned the same Exclusive Group, playing an Open Hi-Hat will stop the Closed Hi-Hat playing.

None No Exclusive Group assigned. The selected key will not be stopped by any other key.

1…127 Exclusive Groups assigned to the selected key. When you play this key, all other keys assigned to the same Exclusive Group will be stopped, and this key will be stopped by other keys assigned to the same Exclusive Group.

Pan

This parameter sets the position in the stereo panorama of the selected key.

Send FX1

This parameter sets the FX1 send level for of the selected key.

Send FX2

This parameter sets the FX2 send level for of the selected key.

PAGE 3 - PITCH

Here you can make pitch settings for each oscillator. These settings specify how keyboard location will affect the pitch of each oscillator, and select the controllers that will affect the oscillator pitch and specify the depth of control. You can also specify the amount of pitch change produced by the Pitch EG and by LFO1 and LFO2, switch portamento on/off and spec- ify how it will apply.

Pitch	Osc1
Selected:	Osc1
Slope:	+1.0
Joystick +X:	+2
Joystick -X:	-2

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alter- natively, you can select oscillators using the F1-F4 buttons.

Slope

Normally you will leave this parameter at +1.0. Positive (+) values will cause the pitch to rise as you play higher notes,

Program operating mode 109

and negative (–) values will cause the pitch to fall as you play higher notes.

With a value of 0, there will be no change in pitch, and the C4 pitch will sound regardless of the keyboard location you play.

The diagram shows how the Pitch Slope and pitch are related:

-1.0…+2.0 Pitch slope value.

JS (+X)

This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved all the way to the right. A setting of 12 pro- duces 1 octave of change.

For example if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all the way to the right, the pitch will rise one octave above the original pitch.

-60…+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.

JS (–X)

This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved all the way to the left. A setting of 12 pro- duces 1 octave of change.

For example, if you set this to -60 and move the joystick all the way to the left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the original pitch. This can be used to simulate the downward swoops that a guitarist produces using the tremolo arm.

-60…+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.

Pitch modulation

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will modulate the pitch of the selected oscillator. See “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123.

Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect produced by “AMS”. With a setting of 0, no modulation will be applied. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change up to one octave.

For example, if you set “AMS” to Joystick +Y and push the joystick, the pitch will rise if this parameter is set to a positive

(+)value, or fall if this parameter is set to a negative (–) value. The range is a maximum of one octave. -12.00…+12.00

Parameter value.

Pitch EG modulation

EG Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the mod- ulation that the pitch EG specified on “Page 6 - Pitch EG” will apply to the pitch. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change a maximum of ±1 octave.

-12.00…+12.00

Parameter value.
