other Tone to be connected in the simple order of WG/TVF/ TVA.

Booster (Booster Gain)

Range: 0/+6/+12/+18

If the “Type” parameter has been set to 3 or 4, you can set the Booster strength. The Booster amplifies the incoming signal, causing it to distort. This creates an effect similar to the distortion often used on an electric guitar.

What is a Ring Modulator?

A Ring Modulator mathematically multiplies two Tones, creating a new sound that includes inharmonic overtones that were not present in either of the two original Tones.

Since the difference in pitch between the two Tones changes the overtone structure, an un-pitched “metallic” sound often results. Ring modulation is therefore especially suitable for creating bells and other metallic sounds.

L.F (TMT Keyboard Fade Width Lower)

Range: 0–127

Determines what will happen to the Tone’s level when a note that’s lower than the Tone’s specified keyboard range is played. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t want the Tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard range is played, set this parameter to 0.

Level

			Key number
0			127
	Lower	Upper
	L.Fade value	U.Fade value

K.L (TMT Keyboard Range Lower)

Range: C -1– UPPER

Specifies the lowest note that will cause the Tone to sound.

K.U (TMT Keyboard Range Upper)

Range: LOWER – G9

Specifies the highest note that will cause the Tone to sound.

*It is not possible to set the Lower value higher than the Upper value, or the Upper value below the Lower value. If you attempt to do so, the two values will change simultaneously.
