Chapter 5 Creating a Performance

Release Offset (Part Release Time Offset)

Range: -64– +63
Sets the relative proportion of change in the TVF/TVA
Envelope T4 value set for each tone comprising the Patch or
Rhythm Set assigned to the part.
* Patches also contain a Release Time Offset setting. The final
TVF/TVA Envelope release time value is therefore the sum of
the Tone’s TVF/TVA Envelope T4 setting, the Patch’s Release
Time Offset, and the Part’s Release Time Offset. Accordingly,
if the tone’s T4 parameter is set to 127, there will be no change
in the Release Time Offset, even when this is set to a positive
value.

Velocity Sens Offset (Part Velocity Sensitivity

Offset)

Range: -63– +63
This changes the volume and cutoff frequency for each part
according to the velocity with which the keys are played.
This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF
VELOCITY V-Cutoff and TVA V-Sens values of the Tones in
the Patch.
* Patches also contain a Velocity Sens Offset setting. The final,
resulting Velocity Sensitivity Offset value is the sum of the
part’s and the Patch’s Velocity Sensitivity Offsets. If the
Patch’s Velocity Sens Offset is already set to 127, there will be
no change produced by setting the Part’s Velocity Sens Offset
to a positive value.

Key Mode (Part Key Mode)

Mono/Poly (Part Mono/Poly)

Range: MONO/POLY
Sets how the Patch’s notes will be played. The SOLO setting
is effective when playing a solo instrument Patch such as sax
or flute.
MONO: Only one note will sound at a time.
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
PATCH: This follows the Patch settings assigned to the Part.

Legato Switch (Part Legato Switch)

Range: OFF/ON/PATCH
Turn this parameter on when you want to use the Legato
feature and off when you don’t. Legato is a function that
works only when the Key Assign Mode is MONO. When
Legato is ON, pressing one key when another is already
pressed causes the currently playing note’s pitch to change to
that of the newly pressed key while continuing to sound.
This can be effective when you wish to simulate performance
techniques such as a guitarist’s hammering on and pulling
off strings.
When a “PATCH” is selected, the settings for the assigned
Patch will have effect.

Portamento (Part Portamento)

Switch (Part Portamento Switch)

Range: OFF/ON/PATCH
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON)
or not (OFF).
When a “PATCH” is selected, the settings for the assigned
Patch will have effect.

Time (Part Portamento Time)

Range: 0–127/PATCH
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which
the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch
change to the next note to take more time.
When a “PATCH” is selected, the settings for the assigned
Patch will have effect.
