Parameter Guide

Pelog

This is the Pelog scale, an Indonesian gamelan scale that divides the octave into seven notes. If the “Scale Key” is C, use the C, D, E, F, G, A, and B notes

User Scale

This will be the scale that was specified in Global mode Page 7A: User Scale.

E: Scale Key

[C...B]

Specify the key (tonic) that will be the basis of the scale selected by “Scale.”

2. NAME (Program Name)

Page02: NAME

A: Name

[!...]

Specify the name of the program.

Use the CURSOR[√][®] keys, the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys, the [EDIT] key, and the sixteen knobs to specify the name.

For the procedure, refer to p.29 Basic Guide, Edit section “Changing the program name.”

Available characters

Unison

The timbre will sound in unison.

If “Mode” is Dual/Split, each timbre will apply a unison effect with the number of voices specified by “Timbre Voice.”

If “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyphony of the timbre (“Timbre Voice”) has been set to 1 (note), the timbre will sound monophonically regardless of this setting.

B: MIDI ch

[GLB, 01...16]

Specify the MIDI transmit/receive channel of each timbre.

GLB

The global MIDI channel (set in Global mode Page 3A: MIDI “MIDI Ch”) will be used as the MIDI transmit/ receive channel of the timbre. Select GLB if you are play- ing the MS2000/MS2000R from its own keyboard or from a connected MIDI keyboard.

01...16

The specified channel will be used as the MIDI transmit/ receive channel of the timbre.

When using the MS2000/MS2000R with a connected external MIDI sequencer, set the MIDI transmit/receive channel of each timbre to match the MIDI channel of the appropriate track of your MIDI sequencer.

If the channel you select is the same as the global MIDI channel, a “G” will be displayed beside the setting.

[Mono, Poly, Unison]

Specify how the timbre will be sounded

Mono

The timbre will sound monophonically (single notes).

Poly

If “Mode” is Dual/Split, each timbre will sound the num- ber of voices specified by “Timbre Voice.”

C: Priority

Specify which note on the keyboard will be sounded when you simultaneously play more notes than the number of voices specified for this timbre.

Last

The last-played note will be given priority.

D: Trigger

[Single, Multi]

This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if Page 03A: VOICE “Assign” is set to Mono/Unison.
