Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds

Part (Arpeggio Part)

When using a Layer performance, you can use this parameter to specify the Part for playing an arpeggio. Parts other than that you specify will sound as you play on the keyboard.

*This setting will be invalid if Single performance, Patch mode or Rhythm Set mode is selected.

Tempo

Sets the speed of the arpeggio. This setting is the same as the tempo of the song. Changing this setting will also affect the song’s playback tempo.

When the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/ SYSTEM SETUP) is set to INT, the display will indicate Tempo(=SYS), and this will be the same value as the system tempo. With a setting of MIDI, the display will indicate Tempo(=EXT), and you will be synchronized to the clock of the external MIDI device.

KEYBOARD

Transpose (Transpose Switch/Value)

If you wish to transpose the range of the keyboard, turn this switch ON and set the desired amount of transposition (in semitone steps). Tonic is indicated in parentheses ( ).

*The transposed note name will be shown in the lower right of the Performance/Patch/Rhythm Set play display.

*When transposing the keyboard range, press [TRANSPOSE] and indicator lights.

*To change transpose amount on a PLAY display, hold down [TRANSPOSE] and press [-OCT] or [+OCT].

Sens (Keyboard Sensitivity)

Select the keyboard sensitivity.

LIGHT: light

MEDIUM: normal

HEAVY: heavy

Vel (Keyboard Velocity)

Specify the velocity value that will be transmitted when you play the keyboard. If you want the actual keyboard velocity to be transmitted, set this to REAL. If you want a fixed velocity value to be transmitted regardless of how you play, specify the desired value.

Aft (Aftertouch Sensitivity)

Specify the Aftertouch sensitivity. Higher values will allow Aftertouch to be applied more easily. Normally you should leave this set to 100.

HOLD PEDAL

Set the function of the pedal connected to the HOLD PEDAL jack.

Output (Pedal Output)

Select the sound source(s) (the internal sound source and/or external sound sources connected to MIDI OUT connector) which will be controlled by the pedal.

OFF: Neither will be controlled.

INT: Only the internal sound source will be controlled.

MIDI: Only external sound sources will be controlled.

BOTH: Both the internal sound source and external sound sources will be controlled.

Polarity (Pedal Polarity)

This parameter switches the polarity of the Hold pedal. On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE. If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.

CONTROL PEDAL

Assign the function of the pedals connected to the CONTROL PEDAL jack.

Assign (Pedal Assign)

Select the function controlled by the pedal.

CC01–95:Controller numbers 1–95 (except for 6, 32–63).

PITCH BEND: Pitch bend

AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch

PROG-UP:Every press of the pedal selects the next Performance number, Patch number, or Rhythm Set.

PROG-DOWN:Every press of the pedal selects the previous Performance number, Patch number, or Rhythm Set.

TAP-TEMPO:Tap tempo (a tempo specified by the interval at which you press the pedal).

OCT-UP:Each pedal press raises the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves higher).

OCT-DOWN:Each pedal press lowers the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves lower).

Output (Pedal Output)

Select the sound source(s) (the internal sound source and/or external sound sources connected to MIDI OUT connector) which will be controlled by the pedals.

OFF: Neither will be controlled.

INT: Only the internal sound source will be controlled.

MIDI: Only external sound sources will be controlled.

BOTH: Both the internal sound source and external sound sources will be controlled.
