Chapter 6. Creating a Rhythm Set

the Rhythm Tone’s stereo placement.

Alternate (Alternate pan depth) L64–63R

This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Higher values result in a greater left/right width. You can select the stereo placement of the first key using this parameter – its opposite will be used for the second note, and so on back and forth. If you want to alternate the pan position of two Rhythm Tones, set them to the exact opposite L and R settings.

TVA VELOCITY

Velocity Sens (TVA level velocity sensitivity) - 63–+63

Use this setting when you want keyboard touch (velocity) to affect the Rhythm Tone volume. Set this to a positive value to have the changes in tone volume increase the more forcefully the keys are played; to make the Rhythm Tone play more softly as you play harder, set this to a negative value.

Velocity Curve (TVA level velocity curve) FIXED/1–7

This setting allows you to select from seven velocity curves that determine how the force with which the keyboard is played is to affect the Rhythm Tone’s volume. The selected curve is displayed to the right of its parameter value.

When set to “FIXED,” the Rhythm Tone’s volume will not be affected by the force with which the keyboard is played.

TVA TIME ENV (TVA time envelope)

This specifies the manner in which keyboard velocity will

affect the times of the TVA envelope.

V-T1 (TVA envelope time 1 velocity sensitivity)

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect T1 (Time 1) of the TVA 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 (TVA envelope time 4 velocity sensitivity)

Use this parameter when you want key-off velocity – the speed at which you release a key – to affect T4 (Time 4) of the TVA envelope. With higher settings, the T4 value will change more significantly depending on whether you release the key slowly or quickly. With positive (+) settings, faster key-off velocity will reduce the T4 setting. With negative (-) settings, faster key-off velocity will increase the T4 setting.

TVA ENVELOPE

These parameters set the characteristics of the TVA envelope,

which applies changes over time to the Rhythm Tone’s TVA

level setting.

Level	T1	T2	T3	T4
		L1
			L2
				L3
				Time

key is pressed key is released

T1–T4 (TVA envelope time 1–4)

These settings determine the times over which the Rhythm Tone level setting will change from one TVA envelope level (L1–L4) to the next.

L1–L3 (TVA envelope level 1–3)

Each TVA envelope level value determines an amount of change to be applied to the original Rhythm Tone level setting.

Other Settings (CONTROL)

CONTROL

Bend Range (Tone pitch bend range) 0–48

Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you move the Pitch Bend Lever. The left value specifies the pitch change that will occur when the lever is moved fully left (or down on some MIDI controllers). The right value specifies the pitch change that will occur when the lever is moved fully right (or up). The left value has a range of -48–0 (-4–0 octaves), and the right value has a range of 0–+48 (0–4 octaves).

Envelope Mode (Tone envelope mode) NO-

SUSTAIN/SUSTAIN

When a loop-type waveform is selected, it will normally continue to sound as long as a key is pressed. If you want a note to decay naturally even when the key remains pressed, set this to “NO-SUSTAIN.”

*If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUSTAIN.”

Mute Group OFF/1–31

The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more Rhythm Tones that are not allowed to sound simultaneously. For example, in a real-world acoustic drum
