Setting the Reverb/Chorus Depth (Reverb/Chorus Amount)

How to apply the Reverb/Chorus Amount

The manner in which the effect is applied will differ depending on the settings for MFX Source and MFX Dest (p. 77).

- When MFX Dest is set to ALL PART

The Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for the part selected for MFX Source applies to all parts. However, when the MFX Source is set to FIXED, the Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for UPPER 1 applies to all parts.

- When MFX Dest is set to SAME MFX

The Reverb/Chorus Amount setting for the part selected for MFX Source applies to parts assigned the same MFX Type as the part selected for MFX Source.

Changing the Effect Applied to the Tone (MFX)

This sets the multi-effect applied to the tone.

NOTE

The MFX selected here may not be applied with certain MFX Source and MFX Dest settings.

For details, refer to “MFX Source, MFX Dest” (p. 77).

Parameter	Value
MFX	Refer to the “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 104).

Playing Sound Monophonically (Mono/Poly)

Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).

The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone such as sax or flute.

Additionally, when this is set to MONO/LEGATO, you can have monophonic performances played legato. Legato is a playing style in which the spaces between notes are smoothed, creating a flowing feel with no borders between the notes. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.

Parameter	Value	Description
	MONO	Only the last-played note
		will sound.
Mono/Poly	POLY	Two or more notes can be
		played simultaneously.
	MONO/	Legato is applied to mono-
	LEGATO	phonic performances.

Changing the Pitch

(Coarse/Fine Tune)

This sets the pitch of the tone.

	Parameter	Value	Description
Coarse Tune		-48– +48	Sets the sound’s pitch
		(+/- 4 octaves)	in semitone units.
Fine Tune		-50– +50	Sets the sound’s pitch
		(+/- 50 cents)	in units of one cent.

1 cent = 1/100 semitone

NOTE

With some Tones, there may be ranges in which the pitch does not change as intended.
