Parameters in the Top Screen

Common to all patch algorithms

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Tempo	20.0–250.0	Adjusts the tempo of the patch
Chord	ON, OFF	Switches the Multi Chord Memory
Memory		(one-finger chord) function on/off.
		* if you want to synchronize to an
		external device, set Clock Source
		(p. 38) to EXTERNAL, then get
		your external device to transmit
		clock messages. If you fail to do this,
		chords will not play correctly.
Chord	ON, OFF	Switches the Chord Memory hold
Memory		on/off.
Hold
Patch	—	Opens the PATCH List window.
Algorithm		(p. 16)
Patch	P001–P064,	Changes the patch number.
Number	U001–U448	P indicates a preset patch, and U in-
		dicates a user patch.
Effect	0–127	Adjusts the output level of the cho-
Chorus		rus.
Effect	0–127	Adjusts the output level of the re-
Reverb		verb.

If the patch algorithm is Modeling~

Parameter	Value	Explanation
MIC Level	0–127	Adjusts the output level of the mic to the
		vocoder.
Carrier	0–127	Adjusts the output level of the carrier to
Level		the vocoder.
Carrier	0–127	Adjusts the release time of the carrier (the
