Voice Mode
■ElmSw (Element Switch)
This switch sets the FDSP unit for each AWM
element as active, “on” or inactive, “off.”
❏ Settings: on or off for each element, 1~4 (for AN+FDSP
voice type, element 2~4)
■Type
Selects the FDSP type that will be used. Beginning
with guitar pickup simulators, there are a variety of
FDSP types that support new sound creation. The
available parameters will differ depending on the
selected FDSP type.
❏ Settings: 01: EP Pickup (Electric Piano Pickup)
02: EG Pickup (Electric Guitar Pickup)
03: Water
04: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
05: Flange
06: Phaser
07: Self FM
08: Tornado
09: Ring Mod (Ring Modulator)
10: Seismic
The FDSP type selected here is equally applied to all the
AWM elements that are set to “on.”
For more information on the parameters for each FDSP
type, see the FDSP Parameter List in the separate Data List
book.
Explanation for each FDSP type
01: EP Pickup (Electric Piano Pickup)
EP Pickup simulates the electromagnetic pickup of an
electric piano. The mechanism how the EP Pickup type
is formed is as follows: first, the signal sent to the
FDSP unit is converted into the vibration of the tine of
an electric piano. Next, the vibration is detected by the
pickup opposite to the tine. Then the signal detected by
the pickup is modified with the frequency
characteristics unique to the electromagnetic pickup,
and output. This system incorporates Yamaha’s Virtual
Acoustic technology.

■Pickup Type
Sets the type of pickup. There are three types,
normal, integrate, and differentiate.
❏ Settings:
normal:
Produces a slight simulation.
integrate:
Produces a physically correct simulation; relationship
between the tine vibration and the pickup magnetic flux.
different (differentiate):
Produces a simulation that emphasizes the higher range.
■Drive
Sets the amplitude size of the tine vibration, or the
distance between the tine and pickup. The higher
the value, the more the change in the timbre affected
by the volume change of the input signal is
emphasized.
❏ Settings: –64~0~+63
■Drive K.Flw(Drive KeyFollow)
Sets the Drive KeyFollow for a voice. The Drive
KeyFollow function controls the change in the
amount of Drive in accordance with the notes played
on the keyboard. When set to a positive value, the
higher the note played on the keyboard, the greater
the change in the timbre becomes. When a negative
value is set, the lower the note played, the greater
the change in the timbre becomes.
Settings: –64~0~+63
■BP Low (Break Point Low)
Sets the Break Points, which affect the parameters
Position and Out Level in accordance with the pitch
change, in the note range below C3. Values can be set
in semitones from C3, which is regarded as the value
of 0.
❏ Settings: –48 (= C–1)~0 (=C3)
