Key Velocity

Specifies the loudness of the notes that you play.

If you want the velocity value to change according to how strongly you played each note, set this to REAL. If you want each note to have a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly you play the keyboard, set this parameter to the desired value (1–127).

Zone (Arpeggio Zone)

Arpeggio Zone sets the Zone for playing an Arpeggio performance when a Layer Performance is being selected. The Arpeggio performance corresponding to the Part connected to the Zone set here is played.

When a Single Performance is selected, this setting is disabled, and the single specified Part (current Part) will play arpeggios.

Tempo (Arpeggio Tempo)

Sets the speed of the arpeggio.

When the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/ SYSTEM SETUP) is set to INT, the display will indicate Tempo(=SYS), and this will be the same value as the system tempo. With a setting of MIDI, the display will indicate Tempo(=EXT), and you will be synchronized to the clock of the external MIDI device.

Setting the D Beam Controller (D BEAM)

This is where the settings are made for applying effects to the sound by moving your hand over the D Beam controller in Performance mode.

When using the D Beam controller in Patch/Rhythm Set/GM mode, the settings are made in System mode (p. 176).

D BEAM CONTROL

Assign (D Beam Assign)

Specifies the function controlled by the D Beam controller. CC01–31,33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95

For more information about Control Change messages, please refer to “MIDI Implementation” (p. 270).

AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch

OCT UP: Raises the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves

higher).

OCT DOWN: Lowers the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves lower).

START/STOP: Starts/Stops the external sequencer.

TAP TEMPO: Tap tempo (a tempo specified by the interval at which you move your hand over the D Beam controller).

Output (D Beam Output)

Selects the sound generator(s) (the internal sound generator and/or external sound generators connected to MIDI OUT connector) to be controlled by the D Beam controller.

OFF: Neither will be controlled.

INT: Only the internal sound generator will be controlled.

MIDI: Only external sound generators will be controlled.
