Chapter 3. VOICE MODE
11. Pitch coarse
Adjust the pitch of each instrument in semitone steps.
With a value of +00, the instrument will sound at the same
pitch at which it was sampled.
By modifying the pitch, you can make an instrument sound
heavier, or create melodic toms, etc.
For fine tuning, use 10. Pitch fine.

12. Alternate group
This setting lets you prevent instruments which should not
sound simultaneously from sounding simultaneously.
Instruments which are set to the same Alternate Group
number will not sound simultaneously.
Instruments which would never sound simultaneously in real
life (such as closed and open hi-hat sounds) should be set to
the same number.
Instruments for which an Alternate Group is specified will
always have a Key Assign Mode setting of Single.

13. Key assign
Specify how multiple MIDI Note On messages of the same
note which are received while a note is sounding will be
handled by each instrument.
With a Key Assign setting of Single, the currently-sound-
ing note will be damped (will stop sounding) before the
note is re-triggered.
With a Key Assign setting of Multi, the currently-sounding
note will continue sounding, and the next note will be played
together with the currently-sounding note.
This effect is particularly noticeable for sounds with a slow
decay, such as cymbals. In general, a Key Assign setting of
Multi will sound more natural.

14. Receive note off
Specify whether or not MIDI Note Off messages will be
received by each instrument.
If this is on, MIDI Note Off messages will be received to
damp (turn off) the currently-sounding note.
If this is off, MIDI Note Off messages will be ignored, and
the note will continue sounding until it ends naturally. Nor-
mally you will use a setting of “off.”
Use a setting of “on” if you wish to damp cymbals while
they are still sounding, etc.

15. Filter cutoff, Filter resonance
Cutoff adjusts the filter cutoff frequency of each instrument.
By modifying the cutoff, you can brighten or darken the
tone.
Resonance adjusts the filter resonance for each instrument.
By modifying the resonance, you can adjust the emphasis
of the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, creat-
ing a more distinctive tone.

16. EG attack, EG decay 1, EG decay 2
These parameters adjust the way in which the volume of
each instrument changes over time.
