Detailed Settings for Each Function (EDIT)

Creating Smooth Pitch Changes (Portamento)

Portamento is a function that causes the pitch to change smoothly from one note to the next note played.

With the MONO/POLY parameter set to MONO, portamento is especially effective when simulating playing techniques such as a violin glissandos.

Portamento SW (ON/OFF)

This set the switch of portamento on or off.

Portamento Time (0–127)

This setting determines the time for the change in pitch when the portamento effect is applied to the sound. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.

Portamento Mode (NORMAL/LEGATO)

This selects the way the Portamento effect is applied.

Value

Explanation

 

 

NORMAL

Portamento is applied at all times.

LEGATO

Portamento is applied during legato

 

portions (when a key is played while the

 

previously played key is still being held

 

down).

 

 

Portamento Type (RATE/TIME)

This selects the relationship between the difference in pitch for the keys pressed and the time it takes to change from one pitch to the other.

Value

Explanation

 

 

RATE

The time it takes the pitch to change is

 

proportional to the difference in pitch.

 

 

TIME

The time it takes the pitch to change is fixed,

 

regardless of the difference in pitches.

 

 

Settings Multi-Effect of Synth Part

The multi-effects are a collection of general-purpose multi- effects that alter the sounds themselves to create entirely different kinds of sounds. You can select from 40 different types to suit your aims. A variety of effects have been prepared, from single, individual effects like distortion and flanger, to effects that have been created by chaining a sequence of different effects. Also included as one type of multi-effect is a reverb that can be used entirely independently of the REVERB found on the VR-760 panel (p. 30).

Synth MFX Type

This selects the multi-effect type. There are 40 different effects to choose from.

For more parameters that can be set and their values, refer to “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 91).

Synth MFX Ctrl

You can use the [MFX CONTROL] knob to change the multi- effects parameters in real time. In this case, this determines which parameter is to be changed.

The parameters that can be altered vary according to the multi-effect selected with Synth MFX Type. Refer to “Effect/ Parameter List” (p. 91).

Synth MFX Parameter

Depending on the multi-effect selected with Synth MFX Type, there may be multiple parameters that you can set. For more on the types of parameters that can be set and their values, refer to “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 91).

MFX Dry Send (0–127)

Adjusts the volume of the sound that has passed through the Multi-effects of the Synth part.

EDIT

MFX Chorus Send (0–127)

Adjusts the amount of Chorus/Delay for the sound that passes through Multi-effects of the Synth part.

The chorus type (chorus or delay) is predetermined for each tone, and cannot be changed. Additionally, the effect may differ according to the tone being used.

Synth Revb Send (0–127)

This adjusts the amount of the synth 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.
