Solo Tone

The Solo sounds and how to play them

The Solo sounds allow you to reproduce the natural tonal changes (changes in dynamics) that are distinctive of each instrument as
you range from delicate soft notes to strongly played powerful notes—not merely changes in the volume.
* Dynamics can be controlled by Note-on Velocity, Modulation controller (CC01), and Expression (CC11).
* Since the Modulation controller is assigned to dynamics, Vibrato has been assigned to be controlled by channel pressure
messages.
After pressing a key, you can operate the Modulation controller (CC01) or Expression pedal (CC11) to continuously control the dynamics.
By playing legato (i.e., by pressing the next note before you release the previous note) you can create smooth transitions between notes.
* In order to obtain the legato effect, set the Mono/Poly mode (CC126=Mono/CC127=Poly) to Mono. With the Solo sounds, set to
Mono upon power-up.
Normally, even an instrument that is set to play in Mono mode will allow you to sound a chord by pressing two or more notes
simultaneously. When all notes turn off, the instrument will return to Mono mode.
* This effect will be obtained if the Mono/Poly mode is set to Mono.
Wind instruments (Shakuhachi, Trombone) allow you to control Growl Sens (CC18). This lets you vary the distinctive nuance (growl)
that occurs when you blow strongly into a wind instrument.
You can use CC16 to vary the Noise Level. This controls the breath noise of a wind instrument, or the bowing noise or picking noise of
a string instrument.
You can use CC17 to vary the Play Stability (accuracy of the performance). If this value is 0, the pitch during the attack of the sound
will be unstable. Higher values allow you to play more precise pitches.
Variations for the Solo sounds
Each instrument provides effective performance variation sounds, and you can use control changes (CC80/CC81) to instantly switch
between these while you play.
