Chapter 4 Creating Patches
INDIV 1–8: The Patch is sent to the selected INDIVIDUAL 1–
8 jack. (Mono output)
TONE/KEY: The output routing is determined by the settings
of each Tone/Partial.
Octave&Tune (Patch Octave & Tune)

Octave Shift

Range: -3– +3
Sets the pitch of the Patch in units of an octave (+/-3
octaves).
* This setting can also be adjusted from the PATCH PLAY
page. (p. 17)

Coarse Tune

Range: -48– +48
Adjusts the pitch of Tone/Partial in semitone steps (-4– +4
octaves).

Fine Tune

Range: -50– +50
Adjusts the pitch of the Tone/Partial in 1-cent steps (1/100th
of a semitone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.

Stretch Tune Depth

Range: OFF/1/2/3
This setting allows you to apply “stretched tuning” to the
Patch. Acoustic pianos typically use stretch tuning, with their
lower range slightly flatter and their higher range slightly
sharper than the actual mathematical tuning ratios dictate.
Stretch is therefore useful when programming a Patch
intended to sound like a real piano. With a setting of OFF,
the Patch’s tuning will be equal temperament. A setting of 3
will produce the greatest difference in the pitch of the low
and high ranges.
This diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal
temperament that will occur in the low and high ranges.
Stretch will have a subtle effect on the way in which chords
resonate.

Analog Feel (Analog Feel Depth)

Range: 0–127
Specifies the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to
the Patch. (1/f modulation is a pleasant and naturally-
occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook
or rustling wind.)
By adding this “1/f modulation,” you can simulate the
natural instability characteristic of an analog synthesizer.

Modify (Patch Modify)

Cutoff Offset

Range: -63– +63
This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF
cutoff frequency values of the Tones/Partials in the Patch.

Resonance Offset

Range: -63– +63
This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF
resonance values of the Tones/Partials in the Patch.

Attack Offset (Attack Time Offset)

Range: -63– +63
This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVA
ENVELOPE T1 values of the Tones/Partials in the Patch.
With Multi-Partial Patches, only TVA changes.
