Micro Tuning Type

Voice......Offsets to the EQ settings in the

Utility mode.

Multi......Offsets to the Master EQ settings.

These Portamento parameters are not

available for the part to which the Drum voice

is assigned.

The Mode setting is not available for the Plug-

in part.

Power On Mode Settings

These settings depend on the particular Plug-

in board; refer to the relevant owner’s manual

for details.

You can also create a lower and an upper

range with a “hole” in the middle, by

specifying the highest note ﬁrst. For example,

setting a Note Limit of “C5 - C4” lets you play

the element from two separate ranges: C-2 to

C4 and C5 to G8. Notes played between C4

and C5 do not play the selected element/part/

zone.

You can also create separate low and high

ranges, with a velocity “hole” in the middle,

by specifying the maximum value ﬁrst. For

example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets

you play the element from two separate

velocity ranges: soft (1 - 34) and hard (93 -

127). Notes played at middle velocities

between 35 and 92 do not play the selected

element/part/zone.

*10

When you have selected “voice” here, some

parameters cannot be set.

*11

In Drum Key edit, this is available only when

Insertion Effect Output is set to “thru.”

*12

This parameter is effective for Waves (pre

wav) selected in the Drum Key Oscillator

Wave display (Drum Key edit).

*13

If a Normal voice has been assigned to the key,

this parameter adjusts the position of its note

(not its pitch) relative to note C3. For

example, let’s assume the original Voice

consists of a two-Element piano-like sound up

to note C3 and a two-Element string-like

sound from note C3 upwards. Adjusting this

Coarse setting by +1 would not change the

pitch of the piano-like sound to C3. Instead,

note C3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-

like sound) would be used.

00 Equal tempera-

ment

The “compromise” tuning used for

most of the last 200 years of Western

music, and found on most electronic

keyboards. Each half step is exactly

1/12 of an octave, and music can be

played in any key with equal ease.

However, none of the intervals are

perfectly in tune.

01~12 Pure major C~B This tuning is designed so that most

of the intervals (especially the major

third and perfect ﬁfth) in the major

scale are pure. This means that other

intervals will be correspondingly out

of tune. You need to specify the key

(C~B) you will be playing in.

13~24 Pure minor A~GThe same as Pure Major, but

designed for the minor scale.

25 Werckmeister Andreas Werckmeiser, a contempo-

rary of Bach, designed this tuning so

that keyboard instruments could be

played in any key. Each key has a

unique character.

26 Kirnberger Johann Philipp Kirnberger was also

concerned with tempering the scale

to allow performances in any key.

27 Vallotti & Young Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas

Young (both mid-1700s) devised this

adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning

in which the ﬁrst six ﬁfths are lowered

by the same amount.

28 1/4 shifted This is the normal equal tempered

scale shifted up 50 cents.

29 1/4 tone Twenty-four equally spaced notes per

octave. (Play twenty-four notes to

move one octave.)

30 1/8 tone Forty-eight equally spaced notes per

octave. (Play forty-eight notes to

move one octave.)

31 Indian C~B Usually observed in Indian music

(white keys [C~B] only).
