Velocity
A numerical value indicating the speed (force) with
which a note was played.
Voice
A sound that is built into the tone generator that can be
selected and played.
Voice Bank
Voices are organized into voice banks which can be
selected by using MIDI bank select MSB and LSB data.
W
Wah Effect
An effect that cyclically modulates the tone. The
RS7000 produces this effect by using an LFO signal to
modulate the cutoff frequency of a filter. Wah effects are
included in the Variation effect stage.
Wave
A digitally recorded instrument waveform.
Wet Sound
The audio signal that is processed by an effect. Nor-
mally when using an effect, not all of the audio signal is
passed through the effect. Rather, the degree of the
effect is adjusted by mixing the sound that passes
through the effect (the wet sound) with the sound that
bypasses the effect (the dry sound).
