Pitch

These parameters specify the pitch of the waveform.

Parameter

Coarse Tune

0 (C-1)–127

Basic pitch at which the Rhythm tone will play

downward.

Random Pitch

0–1200

This specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you don’t

want random pitch changes, set it to 0. The parameter can be adjusted in units of 1 cent (1/100th of a

semitone).

Wave Coarse Tune

-48– +48

Pitch of the Wave

 

 

Adjusts the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-4 octaves.

Wave Fine Tune

-50– +50

Pitch of the Wave

 

 

Adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitone upward or

 

 

downward.

Pitch Env (Pitch Envelope)

These parameters specify the depth of the pitch envelope (the way in which pitch will change over time), and the shape of the envelope itself.

P-Env Depth

-12– +12

Pitch envelope depth

 

 

Increasing this value will produce greater change. Negative (-) values will invert the change pro-

 

 

duced by the envelope.

P-Env V-Sens

-63– +63

Amount of pitch change that will occur in response to your pad playing dynamics.

(Pitch Envelope Ve-

 

Increasing this value will produce a greater difference in pitch between softly and strongly played

notes. Negative (-) values will produce the opposite result.

P-Env T1 V-Sens

-63– +63

Amount by which T1 (time) of the pitch envelope will change in response to the speed (velocity) at

(Pitch Envelope

 

which you press a pad.

Time 1

 

Increasing this value will produce a greater difference between softly and strongly played notes. Set

this to a positive (+) value if you want to speed up the T1 time, or to a negative (-) value to slow it

 

 

down.

P-Env T4 V-Sens

-63– +63

Amount by which T4 (time) of the pitch envelope will change in response to the speed at which you

(Pitch Envelope

 

release a pad (key-off velocity)

Time 4

 

Increasing this value will produce a greater difference between quickly released and slowly released

Velocity Sensitivity)

 

notes. Set this to a positive (+) value if you want to speed up the T4 time, or to a negative (-) value to

 

 

slow it down.

P-Env Time1–4

0–127

Pitch envelope times (T1–T4)

 

 

Increasing this value will lengthen the time until the next pitch level is reached (for example, T2 is the

 

 

time over which the pitch will change from L1 to L2).

 

 

* Realtime modify knob [A] adjusts Time 1, and knob [D] adjusts Time 3.

P-Env Level0–4

-63– +63

Pitch envelope levels (L0–L4)

 

 

These parameters specify the amount by which the pitch will change from the basic pitch (specified

 

 

by Coarse Tune and Fine Tune) at each point of the envelope. Positive (+) values will raise the pitch

 

 

above the basic pitch, and negative (-) values will lower it.
