Changing Tone Elements

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting the Transposition for Each

 

(ATK/REL/COF/RES)

 

 

 

 

You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of

 

 

Individual Part (Key Transpose)

 

the following four elements.

 

 

 

You can perform with each part transposed to a different

 

ATK (Attack Time):

 

 

 

 

pitch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to reach

 

 

When the Keyboard Mode is Layer, you can create a richer

 

full volume.

 

 

 

 

 

sound by setting the two Tones to different octaves. Also, if

 

REL (Release Time):

 

 

 

 

the Keyboard Mode is set to Split and you are playing a bass

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to

 

 

Tone in the lower Part, you can use the Key Shift function to

 

 

 

 

become inaudible.

 

 

 

 

play the bass at a lower pitch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COF (Cutoff):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusts how much the filter is opened.

frequency, lending a particular quality to the sound.

 

 

 

Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the

 

 

Pitch with the Bender (Bend Range)

 

 

 

 

sound to distort.

 

 

 

 

This sets the amount of pitch change that will occur when

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you move the Pitch Bend lever (+/- 4 octaves).
