Octave Shift
Allows you to transpose the selected keyboard part in
octave steps.
Coarse Tune
Changes the pitch of the selected keyboard part in
semi-tone steps.
Fine Tune
Changes the pitch of the selected part in steps of 1
cent (1/100 semi-tone).
Portamento Mode
You can set the selected part to mono(phonic) mode.
“Mono” means that you can only play one note at a
time. You could select this mode to play a trumpet or
woodwind part in a more natural way.
“Poly”, on the other hand, means that you can play
chords using the selected part.
Portamento Time
“Portamento” means that the pitch doesn’t change in
clearly defined steps: it produces glides from one
note to the next. Use the this parameter to specify
the speed at which those glides are carried out. The
higher the value, the slower the transitions.
Bender Assign
This parameter allows you to specify for each key-
board part how it should respond to Pitch Bend mes-
sages.
Auto: The keyboard part only responds to left/right
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever when
no split setting causes it to be to the left of other
keyboard parts. In other words: parts you can play
with your left hand after selecting a split no longer
respond to pitch bend messages. But they will while
the keyboard is not split.
On: The keyboard part always responds to left/right
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Off: The part in question does not respond to left/
right movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Bender Range
This parameter sets the pitch interval, i.e. the value
that will be used when the BENDER/MODULATION
lever is pushed all the way to the left or right.
Modulation Assign
This parameter allows you to specify for each key-
board part how it should respond to Modulation
messages (CC01).
Auto: The keyboard part only responds to backward
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever when
no split setting causes it to be to the left of other
keyboard parts. In other words: parts you can play
with your left hand after selecting a split no longer
respond to modulation messages. But they will while
the keyboard is not split.
On: The keyboard part always responds to backward
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Off: The part in question does not respond to back-
ward movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Cut Off
This filter parameter allows you to make the selected
sound darker or brighter. Positive settings mean that
more overtones will be allowed to pass, so that the
sound becomes brighter. The further this value is set
in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will be
allowed to pass and the sound will become softer
(darker).
NOTE
For some sounds, positive (+) Cutoff settings will cause no
noticeable change because the preprogrammed Cutoff
parameter is already set to its maximum value.
Resonance
When the Resonance value is increased, the over-
tones in the area of the cutoff frequency will be
emphasized, creating a sound with a strong charac-
ter.
