Tone Delay

 

 

This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released) and the moment the Tone actually begins to sound. Since you can adjust the timing of each Tone in a Patch, you can create effects in which pressing a single key produces two or more sounds occurring at differ- ent times. If you don’t wish to use Tone Delay, set Tone Dly to NORMAL and Tone Delay Time to 0.

Tone Delay Mode

NORM,

Specifies how the tone will be sounded

 

HOLD,

* If you have selected a decay-type waveform (in which the sound disappears naturally even if you do

 

OFFN,

not release the key), the sound may not be heard if you set this parameter to OFFN or OFFD.

 

OFFD

NORM (NORMAL): The Tone sounds after the specified Delay Time.

Delay Time

press key

release key

HOLD: The Tone will only sound if the key is held for longer than the specified Delay Time. If the key is released before the Delay Time has elapsed, the Tone will not sound.

OFFN (KEY-OFF-NORMAL):The Tone doesn’t sound while the key is being pressed, but sounds af- ter the specified Delay Time when the key is released.

OFFD (KEY-OFF-DECAY):The Tone doesn’t sound while the key is being pressed, but sounds after the specified Delay Time when the key is released. However, for this setting-unlike KEY-OFF-NOR- the TVA envelope of the Tone begins when the key is first pressed. As a result, in most cases, only the decay portion of the sound is heard.

Tone Delay Time

 

 

0–127, note

 

Time by which each tone will be delayed when using tone delay

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you've selected a Structure Type of 2–10, the output of tone 1 (3) and 2 (4) will be combined into

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tone 2 (4). Thus, the setting of tone 1 (3) will have no effect.
