waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This can be useful when creating wilder sounds or sound effects.

Switch (Wave FXM switch 1–4)

This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

Color (Wave FXM color)

This specifies how FXM will perform its frequency modulation. Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.

Depth (Wave FXM depth)

This specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.

Modifying a Rhythm Tone’s Pitch (PITCH)

PITCH (Tone pitch)

Coarse (Tone coarse tune) C-1 to G9

This selects the basic pitch at which the percussion instrument sound will play.

Fine (Tone fine tune) -50–+50

This adjusts the pitch of the percussion instrument sound in 1-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.

Random (Tone random pitch depth) 0–1200

This specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you don’t want random pitch changes, set it to 0. The parameter can be adjusted in units of 1 cent (1/100th of a semitone).

PCH ENVELOPE (Pitch Envelope)

These parameters determine the amount of pitch enveloping

– changes to your basic pitch settings that occur over time – the effect of velocity on the pitch envelope, and the basic characteristics of the pitch envelope itself.

This determines the amount of pitch enveloping to be used –

higher settings result in more extreme enveloping. Negative

(-) settings invert the direction of the changes made by the

Pitch Envelope.

V-Sens (Pitch envelope velocity sensitivity)-63– +63

Adjust this parameter when you want your keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect the amount of pitch enveloping. With higher settings, there will be a greater difference in the amount of enveloping when notes are played softly or when they’re played hard. Negative (-) settings will reverse the direction of change.

V-T1 (Pitch envelope time 1 velocity sensitivity) -63–+63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect T1 (Time 1) of the pitch envelope. With higher settings, the T1 value will change more significantly depending on whether you play softly or with greater force. With positive (+) settings, greater keyboard velocity will reduce the T1 setting. With negative (- ) settings, greater keyboard velocity will increase the T1 setting.

V-T4 (Pitch envelope time 4 velocity sensitivity) -63–+63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect T4 (Time 4) of the pitch envelope. With higher settings, the T4 value will change more significantly depending on whether you play softly or with greater force. For positive (+) settings, keyboard velocity will reduce the T4 setting. For negative (-) settings, keyboard velocity will increase the T4 setting.

L0 (Pitch envelope level 0) -63–+63

This sets the amount of change applied to the Rhythm Tone’s basic pitch when a key is first pressed.

T1–T4 (Pitch envelope time 1–4) 0–127

These settings determine the times over which the basic pitch settings will change from one pitch envelope level (L1–L4) to the next.

L1–L4 (Pitch envelope level 1–4) -63–+63

Each pitch envelope level value determines an amount of change to be applied to the Rhythm Tone’s basic pitch.
