For example, if you assign two Parts to the same MIDI channel and set the Keyboard Range of one to C-1 — B3 and the other to C4 — G9. Then you could assign different sounds to each Part, and play two different sounds on either side of C4. Or, you could set the keyboard ranges of two Parts to overlap, and layer the two sounds.

*Be aware that if Keyboard Range High is set to a note name lower than Keyboard Range Low, there will be no sound.

❍CC1 C.Number (CC1 Controller Number):1 — 95

Set the controller number which will control the CC1 parameter (p.30) via MIDI. For example if you set CC1 C.Number to 16, the value of an incoming MIDI controller number 16 message will affect the sound as specified by the setting of the CC1 parameter.

❍OUT Asgn (Output Assign): OUT-1/2/2L/2R

Specify the output jack from which the sound of each part will be output.

OUT-1The sound together with the effect sound will be output in stereo from the OUTPUT 1 jacks.

OUT-2The direct sound without the effect sound will be output in stereo from the OUTPUT 2 jacks.

OUT-2LThe direct sound without effects will be output from the OUTPUT 2L jack. (The Pan setting will have no effect.)

OUT-2RThe direct sound without effects will be output from the OUTPUT 2R jack. (The Pan setting will have no effect.)

*The headphone jack will output the sound of OUTPUT 1. This means that the sound of Parts assigned to OUT- PUT 2 will not be heard from the headphone jack.

*This is valid only when Sys. OUT Mode (p.38) is set to Sel. Be aware that if it is set to Fix, the above settings will be ignored.

*With the factory settings, all Parts are set to OUT-1.

*The sound from OUTPUT 2 is output at a fixed volume, unaffected by the position of the volume knob.

❍S.Tune C - B (Scale Tuning C - B):-64 — +63

Scale Tuning is a parameter which makes fine adjustments to the pitch of each note in the octave. These settings are for one octave of notes, and will simultaneously adjust the pitch of that note in all octaves. By using Scale Tuning, you can perform using a variety of temperaments other than equal temperament. Here we will give three settings as examples.

< Equal temperament >

This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in western music. The default setting of this unit's Scale Tune function is Equal Temperament.

< Just intonation (tonic of C) >

Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will turn muddy if you transpose. Here is an example of the settings for a tonic of C.

< Arabian-style scale >

A variety of ethnic tunings can be achieved by using the Scale Tuning function. Here are settings for a tuning representative of Arabian-style scales

❍Mod ~/Bnd ~/CAf ~/CC1 ~

Mod ~ (Modulation ~ )

When you move the modulation lever or modulation wheel of a MIDI keyboard, modulation messages are transmitted, modifying the sound. The Mod ~ parame- ters specify the way in which the sound will change when these messages are received. With the factory settings of these parameters, vibrato will be applied to the sound.
