The Drum1 and Drum2 Parts allow you to simultaneously use two drum sets. For example if Drum Parts are set as shown below, when you change the STAN- DARD1 drum set of Part A10 to the TR-808, the selection for Part A12 will also change to TR-808. For details on how to assign a drum set to a Part, refer to p.18.

❍M/P Mode (Mono/Poly Mode): Mono/Poly

If a Part is set to Mono (Mono Mode), that Part will play only one note at a time. It is effective to select Mono Mode for parts that are playing a naturally monophonic instrument such as a trumpet or sax. Select Poly Mode for Parts that are playing chords.

*For a Drum part, changing the Mono/Poly Mode setting will not affect the sound.

❍Fine Tune: -100.0 — +100.0 cent

Use this parameter when you wish to make fine adjustments to the tuning of a Part. Positive (+) settings will raise the pitch, and negative (-) settings will lower the pitch. If two or more Parts are set to the same MIDI channel and the same sound, you can spread their Fine Tuning settings apart to add rich depth and breath to the sound.

*To adjust the pitch of all Parts, use the Master Tune parameter (p.14).

*To transposes the Part, use the KEY SHIFT parameter (p.25).

❍Rx Bank Sel (Bank Select Receive Switch): On/Off❍Rx NRPN (NRPN Receive Switch): On/Off

For details of these two parameters, refer to p.141.

❍Velo Depth (Velocity Sensitivity Depth): 0 — 127❍Velo Offset (Velocity Sensitivity Offset): 0 — 127

The force with which you play a note on MIDI keyboard is transmitted as MIDI Velocity data. Strongly played notes will have a higher velocity value. The Velo Depth and Velo Offset parameters determine the relation between the force of your keyboard playing and the loudness of the sound that results.

If Velo Depth is increased, small differences in your playing dynamics will make a large difference in the loudness of the sound (Fig.3). If Velo Depth is decreased, even large differences in your playing dynamics will make only a small difference in the loudness of the sound (Fig.2).

If Velo Offset is set higher than 64, even softly played notes (i.e., notes with a low velocity) will be sounded loudly (Fig.5). If Velo Offset is set lower than 64, even strongly played notes (i.e., notes with a high velocity) will be sounded softly (Fig.4).

*For some settings, there may be no sound. If so, increase Velo Depth or Velo Offset.

Velo Depth = 64, Velo Offset = 64

Velo Depth = 32, Velo Offset = 64

❍K. Range L (Keyboard Range Low): C-1 — G9❍K. Range H (Keyboard Range High): C-1 — G9

The Key Range parameters determine the pitch range over which the instrument will be sounded. Keyboard Range Low (the lowest note) and Keyboard Range High (the highest note) will determine the range of notes that will sound. These values are displayed as key names. You can specify a value between C-1 and G9 (0 — 127), and middle C is C4 (60).
