User Program Edit Parameters
“Mono”
means that you can only play one note at a time. You could
select this mode to play a trumpet or woodwind part in a more
natural way.
“Poly,”
on the other hand, means that you can play chords using the
selected part.
Parameter
Value
Mono/Poly
Poly, Mono
NOTE
You can’t change the Mono/Poly setting of the UP3 part.
Portamento Time
“Portamento”
means that the pitch doesn’t change in clearly
defined steps: it produces glides from one note to the next. Use the
this parameter to specify the speed at which those glides are carried
out. The higher the value, the slower the transitions.
Parameter
Value
Portamento Time
0–127
NOTE
You can’t change the Portamento Time setting of the UP3 part.
Cut Off
This filter parameter allows you to make the selected sound darker or
brighter. Positive settings mean that more overtones will be allowed
to pass, so that the sound becomes brighter. The further this value is
set in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will be allowed to
pass and the sound will become softer (darker).
Setting
Characteristics of a low-pass filter
Cutoff frequency
Frequency
NOTE
For some sounds, positive (+) Cutoff settings will cause no
noticeable change because the preprogrammed Cutoff
parameter is already set to its maximum value.
Parameter
Value
Cut Off
-64–+63
Resonance
When the Resonance value is increased, the overtones in the area
of the cutoff frequency will be emphasized, creating a sound with a
strong character.
Parameter
VALUE
Resonance
-64–+63
NOTE
For some sounds, negative (–)
“Resonance”
settings may
produce no noticeable change because the Resonance is already
set to the minimum value.
Attack (only for Tones)
This parameter adjusts the onset of the sound. Negative values
speed up the attack, so that the sound becomes more aggressive.
Parameter
Value
Attack
-64–+63
Decay
This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound’s volume and
cutoff frequency fall from the highest point of the attack down to the
sustain level.
Parameter
Value
Decay
-64–+63
NOTE
Percussive sounds usually have a sustain level of
“0 ”
Piano and
guitar sounds are in this category. Holding the keys for a long
time will have little effect on the duration of the notes you are
playing, even if you select a high value here.
Release
This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound will decay
after the note is released until it is no longer heard. The cutoff
frequency will also fall according to this setting.
Parameter
Value
Release
-64–+63
Vibrato Rate
This parameter adjusts the speed of the pitch modulation.
Positive (+) settings make the preset pitch modulation faster and
negative (–) settings make it slower.
Parameter
Value
Vibrato Rate
-64–+63
Vibrato Depth
This parameter adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation. Positive
(+) settings mean that the
“wobble”
becomes more prominent,
while negative (–) settings make it shallower.
Parameter
Value
Vibrato Depth
-64–+63
Vibrato Delay
This parameter adjusts the time required for the vibrato effect to
begin. Positive (+) settings increase the time before vibrato will begin
and negative settings shorten the time.
Parameter
Value
Vibrato Delay
-64–+63
