Quick Guide Editing a Program

The following brieﬂy describes the main Performance

parameters.

●Parameters for the Voice assigned to each Part

Page 152

The Voice assigned to each part and its note range can be

set also in the Performance Play mode (page 152). In

addition to the parameters available in the Performance

Play mode, the Performance Edit mode also lets you set

Portamento (pitch glide) and Arpeggio Switch (which

determines whether the Arpeggio plays a speciﬁc Part or

not).

●Basic parameters for creating the sound Page 154

Edit the parameters for each Part’s Voice such as Pitch,

Filter, and Amplitude. The parameters offset the same

parameters in the Voice Element Edit mode.

●Parameters related to the Audio Input PartPage 151

The audio signal input from the A/D INPUT jack (or the

optional audio inputs) can be handled as an Audio Input

part. Various parameters such as volume, pan, and effect

can be set to this Part and the sound is output together

with other Parts. The parameters related to the Audio Input

Part can be edited in Common Edit for each Performance.

●Parameters related to the OUTPUT jacks for each

Part Page 154

You can assign each individual Part’s Voice to be output

from a speciﬁc hardware output jack on the rear panel. This

function is useful when you want to output a speciﬁc Part to

a separate speaker or process it with a favorite external

effect.

●Effect related parameters Pages 118, 150, 152

The Effects use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to alter and

enhance the sound of a Performance. The Common Edit

display lets you edit the Effect-related parameters.

●Master EQ related parameters Pages 120, 150

These parameters let you use the ﬁve-band Master EQ to

process the overall sound of the Performance. Master EQ

also features separate EQ shape parameters for the Low

and High bands, as well as the Frequency, Gain and Q

controls for each band.

●Controller related parameters Pages 41, 59, 151

For each Performance, you can assign the Control Change

Number to built-in controllers such as Control sliders

(ASSIGN1 and 2) and optionally connected controllers,

such as Foot Controller and Breath Controller.

nFunctions assigned to Controllers depend on the settings of each

Part's Voice edited in the Voice Edit mode.

●Arpeggio related parameters Pages 124, 151

For each Performance, you can set the Arpeggio related

parameters, such as Arpeggio type and playback tempo.

These settings can be edited in the Common Edit display.

Enter a name for the Voice from the NAME display

([COMMON] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF1] NAME).

For detailed instructions on naming a voice, refer to page

27.

The edited Performance can be stored in the Performance

Store mode. For details, see page 56.

Select the menu you wish to edit by pressing

the [F1] - [F6] buttons and [SF1] - [SF5]

buttons, then edit the parameters in each

display.
