Detailed Settings for Each Function (EDIT)

Determining the MIDI Output Key Range in Split Play

External Part Assign (UPPER/LOWER/BOTH)

This sets the key range for which Note messages are output

from MIDI OUT when Split Play is used. For example, this

might be used when you want the Upper Part to sound the

tones of a connected MIDI sound module, while the Lower

Part sounds the VR-760’s tones.

Value

Explanation

 

 

UPPER

Only the Note messages for the Upper Tone

 

are output from the MIDI connector.

 

 

LOWER

Only the Note messages for the Lower Tone

 

are output from the MIDI connector.

 

 

BOTH

The Note messages of both the Upper Tone

 

and Lower Tone are output from the MIDI

 

connector.

 

 

Changing the Pitch Bender Settings

Bender Assign (PITCH BEND/ROTARY SPEED)

This sets the effect assigned to the bender lever.

Value

Explanation

 

 

PITCH

The pitch bend effect is applied as the lever

BEND

is tilted.

 

 

ROTARY

Tilting the lever switches the organ part’s

SLW/FST

rotary SLOW and FAST settings.

 

 

Bender Range (1–12)

This sets the range over which the pitch changes when Bender Assign is set to “PITCH BEND.” When set to 1, the pitch can be changed within a range from one semitone below the note to one semitone above it; a setting of 12 sets the range at one octave (12 semitones) above and below the note.

Changing the Sensitivity of Aftertouch

AftTouch Sens (0–10)

This sets the range over which the aftertouch changes. The range increases as the value is raised.

Changing the Depth of Reverb

Reverb Level (0–127)

This sets the depth of reverb. This setting performs the same function as the panel [REVERB] knob.

Setting of Rhythm

Rhythm Volume (0–127)

This changes the volume level of the rhythm part. This setting performs the same function as the panel [RHYTHM VOLUME] knob.

Rhy Reverb Send (0–127)

This adjusts the amount of the rhythm part that is to be sent to the reverb. With smaller values, the reverb is barely applied even when the [REVERB LEVEL] knob on the panel is turned up.

Transmitting MIDI Tone Data When Switching Registrations

These settings are displayed in the screen shown below. Move the cursor to the parameter you want to set, then make the setting.

Send PC (1–128/OFF)

When switching registrations, you can transmit the Program Change Number over an external part MIDI channel. Set this to OFF when not transmitting this information.

When set to OFF, “P---” appears in the display.

Send Bank MSB (0–127/OFF)

When switching registrations, you can transmit the Bank Select Number MSB (Control Number 0) over an external part MIDI channel. Set this to OFF when not transmitting this information.

When set to OFF, “M---” appears in the display.

Send Bank LSB (0–127)

When switching registrations, you can transmit the Bank Select Number LSB (Control Number 32) over an external part MIDI channel.

When set to OFF, “L---” appears in the display.

These messages are not transmitted when Tx PC Switch (p. 68) is set to OFF.

The LSB cannot be changed when MSB is set to OFF (when “M---” is displayed).
