Other features of PERF EDIT
14. Detune
NOTE: This function is only available when a layered or split sound is being used.
Increasing the detune value with the DATA slider will detune sound #1 by the number of cents displayed. Lower values are useful for creating a natural chorus effect between two sounds. At higher values a “Honky Tonk” effect can be achieved.
15. Delay Snd 2
NOTE: This function is only available when a layered sound is being used.
This feature allows you to apply a delay to the second sound in a layer. In this way, some useful delay effects can be achieved without having to use the effects section, (leaving that section free to apply another effect).
Choose the desired value with the DATA slider. The value shown represents the number of milliseconds which will elapse before the second sound is heard.
Special features
While in PERF EDIT mode, you can utilize a couple of extra features which give you more flexibility when creating a layered sound.
When two sounds are used together either in split or layer mode it is possible, from the Volume & Transpose screen, the Reverb Send screen or the Effect Send screen to select a different variation of either sound or change the sound without affecting the other sound. When any one of these screens is displayed, the sound selection buttons will appear as though only one sound has been selected. This isolates the individual sound from the layer so you can have more control over it. In this mode you can use the sound selection buttons and the VARI button to change this sound without affecting the other sound.
For example - Mixing Piano 1 (no variation) with Strings variation 1. In SOUNDS mode, press PIANO 1 and STRINGS together, (this will create a mixture of the basic PIANO 1 and basic STRINGS sounds. Next press PERF EDIT and go to screen 1b - Volume, Transpose, Tuning for the STRINGS sound. Notice that, according to the sound selection buttons, only STRINGS appears to be selected. Press the VARI button so that Variation 1 is selected. You can immediately hear the piano sound mixed with this new string sound when you play on the keyboard.
You can also use this method to mix two sounds from the same group. For example; if we wanted to mix Rhodex 1 with Rhodex 2, (that’s E. Piano 1, no variation with E. Piano 1, variation 1), we could not achieve this by pressing two buttons together because both sounds reside under the same button. We can create this effect in the following way;
1.Mix E. Piano 1 with any other sound.
2.Press PERF EDIT.
3.Use the page buttons to select either the Volume, Reverb or Effect screen for “the other sound”.
4.Now use the sound selection buttons and the VAR button to select E. Piano 1, variation 1.
Now you can turn off PERF EDIT to return to normal playing or you can continue to edit the sound combination using the other features in PERF EDIT.
