Explanation

Wave Group

INT A

Specifies the wave group that is used

when OSC Type is PCM.

INT B
INT C

Wave Number L

Specifies the wave number within the

group specified by Wave Group.
If using mono, specify only the left side

(L). If using stereo, specify the right side

(R) as well.
If using mono, specify only Wave Number

L and leave Wave Number R at 0: OFF.
If you specify only Wave Number R, no

sound is heard.

Wave Number R

VA Waveform

Specifies the wave that is used when OSC Type is VirtualAnalog.
SAW

Sawtooth wave

SQR

Square wave

TRI

Triangle wave

SIN

sine wave

RAMP

Ramp wave

JUNO

Modulated sawtooth wave

PCM-Sync Wave

Number

Specifies the wave that is used when OSC Type is PCM-Sync.
The PCM-Sync oscillator is effective when specified as the Slave

(the sync-modulated partial 1 or 3) when Structure is set to

SYNC.

Gain

-18–+12 [dB]

Specifies the gain (amplitude) of the

waveform.
The value will change in 6 dB (decibel)

steps.Each 6 dB increase doubles the

gain.

Pulse Width

0–127

This effect is produced when the

waveform is deformed by varying the

duty cycle of the pulse width.
It is effective when OSCType is VA, and is

also effective with waveforms other than

SQR (square wave).

If the value is 64, the pulse width has a

50%:50% duty cycle.

This effect does not apply to partials 1 and 2.

PWM Depth

-63–+63

Specifies the amount (depth) of LFO

applied to PW (Pulse Width).
LFO uses the settings of LFO2.

Super-SAW

Detune

0–127

Specifies the amount of pitch variance

between the (seven) sawtooth waves that

are layered within one oscillator.

As this value is increased, the pitch variance

becomes greater. (At this time, OSC Detune

applies an equal amount of pitch difference

between the seven sawtooth waves.)

This has no effect if Structure is SYNC.

This is effective only when SuperSAW is

selected as the OSC Type.

Click Type

SOFT, HARD

Changes the sense of attack by varying

the position at which the sound starts.
This is effective if OSC Type is

VirtualAnalog. However, HARD is effective

only when VA Waveform is TRI or SIN.

Fat

0–127

Boosts the low-frequency region.
This is effective when OSC Type is

VirtualAnalog.

FXM Switch

OFF, ON

This sets whether FXM will be used (ON)

or not (OFF).

FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses

a specified waveform to apply frequency

modulation to the currently selected waveform,

creating complex overtones. This is useful for

creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.

FXM Color

1–4

Specifies how FXM will perform

frequency modulation.Higher settings

result in a grainier sound, while lower

settings result in a more metallic sound.

FXM Depth

0–16

Specifies the depth of the modulation

produced by FXM.

Explanation

Delay Mode

Partial Delay

This produces a time delay between the moment a key is

pressed (or released), and the moment the partial actually

begins to sound. You can also make settings that shift the

timing at which each partial is sounded.
This differs from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by

changing the sound qualities of the delayed partials and

changing the pitch for each partial, you can also perform

arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.
You can also synchronize the partial delay time to the tempo of

the external MIDI sequencer.
If Legato Retrigger Interval is other than OFF, legato operation

occurs only when Delay Mode is NORMAL.
Also in this case, Legato Retrigger Interval operates as 0

(retriggers at each DelayTime).

NORMAL

The partial begins to play after the

time specified in the Partial Delay Time

parameter has elapsed.

Note off

Delay time

Note on

No Partial Delay

HOLD

Although the partial begins to play after

the time specified in the Partial Delay

Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is

released before the time specified in the

Partial Delay Time parameter has elapsed,

the partial is not played.

Note off

Delay time

Note on

No sound

played

KEY-OFF-NORMAL

Rather than being played while the key is

pressed, the partial begins to play once

the period of time specified in the Partial

Delay Time parameter has elapsed after

release of the key. This is effective in

situations such as when simulating noises

from guitars and other instruments.

Note off

Delay time

Note on

KEY-OFF-DECAY

Rather than being played while the key

is pressed, the partial begins to play

once the period of time specified in the

Partial Delay Time parameter has elapsed

after release of the key. Here, however,

changes in the TVA Envelope begin while

the key is pressed, which in many cases

means that only the sound from the

release portion of the envelope is heard.

Note off

Delay time

Note on

Delay Time Sync

OFF, ON

Set this ON if you want the partial delay

time to synchronize with the tempo.

Delay Time

(note)

1/64T–2

This is available when Delay Time Sync is

ON. It specifies the delay time in terms of

a note value.

Delay Time

0–1023

This is available when Delay Time Sync is

OFF. It specifies the delay time without

regard to the tempo.
