Creating a Rhythm Set

Tips for Using an Acoustic Instrument’s Waveform

With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note. This initial
attack is what defines much of the instrument’s character. For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of the attack portion of
the waveform just as they are, and to use the envelope only to modify the decay portion.

Functions of Rhythm Set Parameters

Settings Common to the Entire Rhythm Set

Parameter Value Description
Rhythm Level 0–127 Volume of the rhythm set
Rhythm Tone
Name
You can assign a name of up to 12 characters to the rhythm tone.
Press
[] []
to move the cursor, and use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to select characters.
Parameter Value Explanation
Assign Type MULTI, SIN-
GLE
Sets the way sounds are played when the same key is pressed a number of times.
MULTI:
Layer the sound of the same keys. Even with continuous sounds where the sound plays for an extended time,
such as with crash cymbals, the sounds are layered, without previously played sounds being eliminated.
SINGLE:
Only one sound can be played at a time when the same key is pressed. With continuous sounds where the
sound plays for an extended time, the previous sound is stopped when the following sound is played.
Mute Group OFF, 1–31 On an actual acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound can never occur simultaneously. To reproduce
the reality of this situation, you can set up a Mute Group.
The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more rhythm tones that are not allowed to sound simulta-
neously. Up to 31 Mute Groups can be used. rhythm tones that are not belong to any such group should be set to
“OFF.”
Tone Env Mode NO-SUS, SUS-
TAIN
When a loop waveform (p. 51) is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the
sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to “NO-SUS.”
* If a one-shot type wave (p. 51) is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUSTAIN.”
Tone Pitch Bend
Range
0–48 Amount of pitch change in semitones (4 octaves) that will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved
The amount of change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left and right sides.
One Shot Mode OFF, ON
ON:
The sound will play back until the end of the waveform (or the end of the envelope, whichever comes first).
If you have set Wave Group (p. 53) to SAMP, the loop setting will be forced to ONE SHOT.
Aftertouch Time
Ctrl Sens
-63– +63 If Wave Group is set to SAMP and Wave Tempo Sync is ON, aftertouch will control the amount of time stretching/shrink-
ing caused by Time Stretch.
If Time Stretch is not being applied, nothing will happen. If set to “+” the stretch/shrink time will become shorter, and
if set to “-” the time will become longer.
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone Receive
Expression
OFF, ON For each rhythm tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).
Tone Receive
Hold-1
OFF, ON For each rhythm tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).
* If “NO-SUS” is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting will have no effect.
