The data range is from 0 to 3. At 0 RATE SCALING is OFF, and at 3 the greatest, variation in envelope length is produced.

KEYBOARD RATE SCALING

RS

These values are added to AR, DIR, D2R according to the Rate

Scaling setting. Only 1/2

of these values are added to RR.

22: LEVEL SCALING

This parameter produces a gradual decrease in note output level towards the right (high) end of the keyboard. Many acoustic instruments exhibit a gradual decrease in level toward the higher notes, and this function can be used to create a natural overall keyboard response for any particular voice.

The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0, no level scaling is applied. At 99, the deepest keyboard level scaling effect is produced, and the highest note on the keyboard may be almost inaudible. Set this parameter for the most natural overall balance for the particular voice.

23: TRANSPOSE

This function permits transposing the pitch of the entire DX27 keyboard up or down two octaves in semitone steps.

The data range is from C1 to C5 (C3 is middle C, C2 is one octave lower than middle C, C4 is one octave higher than middle C, etc.). Immediately after this function is called, the desired new key can be selected simply by pressing any note on the keyboard between C1 and C5 (within a plus or minus two-octave range of middle C). The keyboard’s C3 key then assumes the pitch of the key played, and all other keys are adjusted automatically. Pressing any key higher than C5 on the keyboard results in a transposition to C5. This method of data entry can only be used once, immediately after the TRANSPOSE function is called. Further alterations may be made using the DATA ENTRY control or –1/+1 switches.

EG COPY

EG COPY allows you to copy ENVELOPE GENERATOR parameters (AR, D1R, D1L, D2R, RR) and Keyboard Scaling (RATE, LEVEL) from one operator to another operator.

While in the EDIT mode, select a Source operator via the OPERATOR SELECT button at the far left of the DX27 panel. Next, press the EG COPY function button (this is the same as the STORE button). The LCD will respond with “EG Copy OP1 ± OP?" You may then select a destination operator via the OPERATOR/AMS ON-OFF buttons. While holding down the EG COPY button, select a destination. Release, and repeat for any other operator destination you wish to copy into.
