Rx Expression (Tone Receive Expression Switch)

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Rx Hold-1 (Tone Receive Hold-1 Switch)

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

If “NO SUS” is selected for Env Mode parameter (PATCH/ General), this setting will have no effect.

Rx Pan Mode

For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received.

Value

CONT: Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the tone will be changed.

K-ON:The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed.

The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

Redamper Sw (Tone Redamper Switch)

You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound will be held when a Hold 1 message is received after a key is released, but before the sound has decayed to silence. If you want to sustain the sound, set this “ON.” When using this function, also set the Rx Hold-1 parameter “ON.” This function is effective for piano sounds.

Value: OFF, ON

Variation (Arpeggio Variation)

The arpeggiator provides several variations (performance patterns) for each arpeggio style. This parameter selects the variation number. The number of variations will differ according to the arpeggio style.

Motif (Arpeggio Motif)

Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.

Value

UP: Notes you press will be sounded, beginning from low to high.

DOWN: Notes you press will be sounded, from high to low.

UP&DOWN: Notes you press will be sounded, from low to high, and then back down from high to low.

RANDOM: Notes you press will be sounded, in random order.

NOTE ORDER: Notes you press will be sounded in the order in which you pressed them. By pressing the notes in the appropriate order you can produce melody lines. Up to 128 notes will be remembered.

GLISSANDO: Each chromatic step between the highest and lowest notes you press will sound in succession, repeating upward and downward. Press only the lowest and the highest notes.

CHORD: All notes you press will sound simultaneously.

AUTO1: The timing at which keys will sound will be assigned automatically, giving priority to the lowest key that was pressed. AUTO2: The timing at which keys will sound will be assigned automatically, giving priority to the highest key that was pressed. PHRASE: Pressing a single key will sound the phrase based on the pitch of that key. If multiple keys are pressed, the last-pressed key will be valid.

Accent Rate (Arpeggio Accent Rate)

Modifies the strength of accents and the length of the notes to adjust the “groove” feel of the arpeggio. A setting of “100%” will produce the most pronounced groove feel.

Value: 0–100%
