23: BREATH RANGE, EG BIAS

This function permits breath pressure applied to the BC-1 breath controller to directly

control the amplitude or timbre of the voice, according to settings of the corresponding voice parameters which will be covered in CHAPTER IV. The LFO has

no effect–only your breath pressure directly affects the amplitude or timbre of the voice.

The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0, EG bias is OFF. A setting of 99 permits the greatest amplitude or timbre variation to be produced through the breath controller. Data is entered using the DATA ENTRY control and -1/+1 switches. Once this function is called, subsequent presses on the 23 button increment the data value.

24: VOICE NAME

This function moves the LCD cursor from left to right, allowing you to name any new voice or sound you have created before storing it. When button 24 is pressed, the cursor flashes over the first letter in the name of the voice presently occupying a space in the lNTERNAL memory. The DATA ENTRY slider or -1/+1 buttons are used to increment or decrement the alphabetical selection (A to Z), along with many other symbol selections, while subsequent presses on the VOICE NAME CURSOR button move the LCD cursor to the immediate right.

KEY SET

During either of the normal DX100 play modes, pressing the KEY SHIFT button instantly transposes the pitch of the entire DX100 keyboard up or down to a key programmed using this function. When KEY SHlFT is engaged, the letter “K” will appear at the left side of the LCD display until the KEY SHlFT button is pressed again, returning the keyboard to normal pitch.

Pressing this button in the FUNCTION mode permits a shift to the desired pitch when the KEY SHlFT button is pressed while in either of the play modes.

The transpose range for the KEY SHIFT function is plus or minus two octaves. The data range is from -24 to +24, with 0 corresponding to standard keyboard pitch. Each increment corresponds to a shift in pitch of one semitone-a setting of 2 would therefore raise the pitch of the entire keyboard a whole step.

lmmediately after calling the KEY SET function, data can be entered simply by pressing a key on the keyboard within a plus/minus two-octave range of C3 (middle C). The pressed key then assumes the pitch of C3, and all other keys are adjusted accordingly. Pressing the A2 key, for example, produces a setting of -3. Pressing a key higher than C5 results in a +24 setting. This method of data entry, can only
