Detailed Settings for Each Function (EDIT)

Piano Settings for Registrations

(REGISTRATION PIANO)

Piano Volume (0–127)

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

Changing the Function of the Mic/Amp

Mic/Amp SW (MIC SIM/AMP SIM)

This changes the function of the MIC/AMP section on the panel.

Value

Explanation

 

 

MIC SIM

Selects the Mic Simulation function. This is

 

effective with acoustic sounds.

 

 

AMP SIM

Selects the Amp Simulation function. This is

 

effective with electric sounds.

 

 

Piano Oct Shift (-2–+2)

This changes the pitch of the piano part in octave units.

Piano Fine Tune (-50–+50)

This adjusts the pitch of the piano part in cent (1/100 semitone) units.

Changing the Stereo Piano Breadth

Stereo Width (0–63)

This sets the lateral breadth of the piano part sound. The area in which the sound is played widens as the value is increased.

This changes the way acoustic piano and other stereo sampled sounds are spread out. Even with electric piano sounds, this changes the way the stereo tremolo and chorus sounds spread out.

Fine Tuning the Sonorities of Piano Chords

Stretch Tune (OFF/1/2/3)

This determines the pitch settings for a special tuning method for the piano that raises the upper registers even higher, while pulling the lower registers even lower (stretch tuning). Setting this to Off gives the VR-760 equal temperament, while setting a value of 3 stretches the change in pitch in the high and low registers to the maximum degree.

Adjusting the Piano Attenuation

This sets the decay and release times for the piano part.

Decay Time (-64–+63)

This adjusts the rate at which the sound is attenuated while the keys are being pressed. The attenuation is lengthened as the value is raised in the positive direction, while negative values hasten the attenuation.

Release Time (-64–+63)

This adjusts the time it takes for the sounds to stop after the keys are released. The reverberation lengthens the sound more as the value is raised in the positive direction, while negative values give the sound more crispness.

Settings Multi-Effect of Piano Part

The piano multi-effects includes chorus, tremolo, wah, and phaser effects processors, and with the factory settings, DEPTH and RATE are enabled as parameters for these effects. Using these parameters allows you make even more detailed settings to the effects.

Chorus Return Level (0–127)

This sets the volume level of the effect signal that is returned when the MFX chorus is selected.

Tremolo Type (MONO/STEREO)

This enables you to select the way the tremolo behaves when tremolo is selected as the MFX.

Value

Explanation

 

 

MONO

The volume changes cyclically. This is effective

 

when the VR-760 is being used in mono.

 

 

STEREO

The volume level is cyclically distributed to the

 

left and right sides. This is effective when the

 

VR-760 is being used in stereo.

 

 

Wah Type (MOD/TOUCH)

This enables you to select the way the wah behaves when wah is selected as the MFX.

Value

Explanation

 

 

MOD

This changes the tone cyclically.

TOUCH

The tone changes in response to the force with

 

which the keys are played.

 

 

When SYSTEM BASIC Control Pedal Assign (Ctrl Pdl Assign) is set to PIANO PEDAL WAH, you can also have this function as a pedal wah. Pedal wah is a function that changes the tone in response to how far the external pedal is depressed.

When Wah Type is set to TOUCH, the panel [RATE] knob functions as a Touch Wah Sens (sensitivity setting that determines the point at which the touch wah starts to function).

When PIANO PEDAL WAH is set as the SYSTEM BASIC Control Pedal Assign (Ctrl Pdl Assign) value, the pedal value is given priority. Furthermore, the panel [RATE] knobs do not function at this time.
