Description

 

 

 

 

 

Velo Fade Lower

0–127

Rate of volume change when you play less strongly than the lower limit of the velocity range

 

(TMT Velocity Fade

 

Greater settings for this value will cause the volume to decrease more gradually. Set this to 0

 

Width Lower)

 

if you want notes outside the velocity range to not sound at all.

 

Velo Range Lower

1–Upper

Lower limit of velocities that will sound the tone

 

(TMT Velocity

 

Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between tones.

 

Range Lower)

 

 

 

Velo Range Upper

Lower–127

Upper limit of velocities that will sound the tone

 

(TMT Velocity

 

Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between tones.

 

Range Upper)

 

* It is not possible to set Lower to a greater value than Upper, nor Upper to a lesser value than

 

 

 

Lower.

 

Velo Fade Upper

0–127

Rate of volume change when you play more strongly than the upper limit of the velocity range

 

(TMT Velocity Fade

 

Greater settings for this value will cause the volume to decrease more gradually. Set this to 0

 

Width Upper)

 

if you want notes outside the velocity range to not sound at all.

 

TMT Control Switch

OFF, ON

Specifies whether the controller of the matrix control will control TMT (ON) or not (OFF)

Mode

 

 

By turning Velocity Control (TMT Velocity Control) OFF and turning this parameter on/off,

 

 

 

Bend Range Up

0–48

you can easily switch between sounding all tones and using the matrix control. This is con-

Patch/Sample

Specifies the pitch change that occurs when the Pitch Bend lever is moved fully to the right (or

 

 

venient when checking the sound.

 

Bend Range Down

-48–0

Specifies the pitch change that occurs when the Pitch Bend lever is moved fully to the left (or

 

 

 

down on some MIDI controllers).

 

 

 

up on some MIDI controllers).

 

What is a Booster?

A Booster amplifies the incoming signal, causing it to distort. This creates an effect similar to the distortion often used on an electric guitar.

What is a Ring Modulator?

A Ring Modulator mathematically multiplies two Tones, creating a new sound that includes inharmonic overtones that were not present in either of the two original Tones. Since the difference in pitch between the two Tones changes the overtone structure, an un-pitched “metallic” sound often results. Ring modulation is therefore especially suitable for creating bells and other metallic sounds.
