KEY-OFF-D:The Tone will not sound while the key is being pressed, but will sound after the Delay Time when the key is released. However for this setting, the TVA envelope of the Tone will begin when the key is pressed, so in most cases only the decay portion of the sound will be heard.

*If you have selected a Wave that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is not released), selecting KEY-OFF-N or KEY-OFF-D may result in no sound being heard.

TEMPO-SYNC:If you select a Wave with tempo (BPM) being displayed, the Tone will synchronize to the tempo clock of the system regardless of which key is pressed. This is most effective when playing phrase loops in sync with the tempo of a song (p. 130).

If you want to sync to the tempo of a system in Patch mode, set the Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH CLOCK) to

SYSTEM.

If you want to sync to the tempo of a system in Performance mode, set the Source parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/ PERFORM CLOCK) to SYSTEM.

*When TEMPO-SYNC is selected, pitch and FXM settings will be ignored.

*When selecting TEMPO-SYNC, also set the Time parameter to 0. If other values are set, Tone Delay will be activated.

Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds

Time (Tone Delay Time)

Specify the time after when the Tone will sound when using Tone Delay.

If PLAYMATE has been selected in Tone Delay mode, a setting of 64 will mean that the delay time will be set to the interval between the previous Note On and the current Note On. A setting of 127 will result in a time that is twice as long as for a setting of 64, and a setting of 32 will result in a time that is 1/2 as long.

If the Tone Delay Mode is set to CLOCK-SYNC, the setting will be in quarter-note steps, and the corresponding note value symbol will also be displayed. This lets you specify the delay time in note lengths relative to the synchronization tempo.

*If the Type parameter (PATCH/COMMON/STRUCT) is set to a selection of 2–10, the outputs of Tone 1 (3) and 2 (4) will be combined into Tone 2 (4). This means that the settings of Tone 1

(3) will be ignored.
