3 Overall settings (COMMON)Overall settings (COMMON)
PORTAMENTO TIME
When portamento is used, this species the time over
which the pitch will change.
ANALOG FEEL
Applies time-varying change to the pitch and volume
of the tone that is producing sound, adding a sense of
variability.
COARSE TUNE
Shifts the pitch in units of a semitone.
FINE TUNE
Finely adjusts the pitch in units of one cent.
UNISON DETUNE
Detunes each of the notes that are allocated by the Unison
Size number, producing a detuned eect.
UNISON SIZE
If unison is on, this species the number of notes that are
assigned to each key that is pressed.
PRO EDIT parameters (COMMON)
Category
0–49 Selects the tones category.
Level
0–127
Adjusts the overall volume of the tone.
* This is a dierent parameter than the
LEVEL and Common Level parameters
in Tone Screen / Drum Kit Screen
(Common Items).
Common Level is also eective when
using the Tone/Drum Kit Manager
Screen command [EXPORT]- For
Hardware to play the settings on a
hardware product.
In contrast, the LEVEL parameter of
the tone screen and drum kit screen is
eective only on this product.
Pan
L64–0–63R
Species the pan of the tone.
“L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R is
far right.
Priority
This determines how notes will be managed when the
maximum polyphony is exceeded.
LAST
The last-played voices will be given
priority, and currently sounding notes
will be turned o in order, beginning
with the rst-played note.
LOUDEST
The voices with the loudest volume
will be given priority, and currently
sounding notes will be turned o,
beginning with the lowestvolume
voice.
Coarse Tune
-48–+48
[semitone]
Adjusts the pitch of the sound up or
down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
Fine Tune
-50–+50 [cent] Adjusts the pitch of the sound up or
down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
Octave Shift
-3–+3
Adjusts the pitch of the tones sound
up or down in units of an octave (+/-3
octaves).
Stretch Tune Depth
OFF,
1–3
This setting allows you to apply
stretched tuning to the tone.
(Stretched tuning is a system by which
acoustic pianos are normally tuned,
causing the lower range to be lower
and the higher range to be higher than
the mathematical tuning ratios would
otherwise dictate.) With a setting of
OFF, the tones tuning will be equal
temperament. A setting of “3” will
produce the greatest dierence in the
pitch of the low and high ranges.
The diagram shows the pitch change
relative to equal temperament that will
occur in the low and high ranges. This
setting will have a subtle eect on the
way in which chords resonate.

Analog Feel
0–127
Applies time-varying change to the
pitch and volume of the tone that is
producing sound, adding a sense of
variability.
As you increase this value toward the
maximum, the variability becomes
greater, producing instability.
Mono/Poly
Species whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY)
or monophonically (MONO).
MONO Sound only the last-played key one at a
time.
POLY Two or more notes can be played
simultaneously.
Unison Switch
OFF, ON
This layers a single sound.
If the Unison Switch is on, the number
of notes layered on one key will change
according to the number of keys you
play.
5If the OSC Type is PCM, this is
limited to mono playing.
5If the Legato Switch is on, the
Delay Time is ignored while playing
legato.
5Even if Legato Retrigger Interval is
specied, it operates as OFF.
Unison Size
2–8
If unison is on, this species the number
of notes that are assigned to each key
that is pressed. Increasing the Unison
Size increases the polyphony, making it
more likely that notes will be cut o.
Unison Detune
0–100
Detunes each of the notes that are
allocated by the Unison Size number,
producing a detuned eect. As you
increase this value, each note is
detuned more greatly, producing a
thicker sound.
Legato Switch
OFF, ON
This is eective when MONO/POLY
is set to MONO and Legato Switch
is turned ON. When you press the
next key while still holding down the
previous key (legato performance), the
pitch changes smoothly.
The way in which the change occurs
depends on the Legato Retrigger
Interval.
Legato Retrigger Interval
0–12, OFF
When Legato Switch is enabled and
you play legato, this species whether
retriggering occurs (0–12) or does not
occur (OFF).
If this is o, only the pitch of the
currently-sounding tones changes
according to the pitch of the key.
If this is set to 1–12, retriggering occurs
smoothly when the pitch dierence
during legato performance exceeds the
specied value.
For example, if this is set to 4, and using
C4 as the reference pitch, playing notes
Db4–E4 legato will change only the
pitch without retriggering, but playing
the F4 note (which is ve semitones
away from C4) legato will retrigger F4.
When F4 is retriggered at this time, F4
now becomes the reference pitch.
If this is set to 0, each note is
retriggered every time regardless of the
pitch dierence.
For acoustic-type sounds in particular,
an unnatural impression can occur
if only the pitch is changed, so you'll
need to adjust the Legato Retrigger
Interval.
Portamento Switch
OFF, ON
Species whether the portamento
eect will be applied (ON) or not
applied (OFF).
* Portamento is an eect which
smoothly changes the pitch from the
rst-played key to the next-played
key. By applying portamento when
the MONO/POLY parameter is MONO,
you can simulate slide performance
techniques on a violin or similar
instrument.
Portamento Mode
Species the performance conditions for which
portamento will be applied.
NORMAL Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO
Applies portamento only when you
play legato (i.e., when you press the
next key before releasing the previous
key).
Portamento Type
Species the type of portamento eect.
RATE The time it takes will depend on the
distance between the two pitches.
TIME The time it takes will be constant.
Portamento Start
When another key is pressed during a pitch change
produced by portamento, a new pitch change will begin.
This setting species the pitch at which the change
will begin.
Pitch
Starts a new portamento when another
key is pressed while the pitch is changing.

Portamento Time
0–1023
When portamento is used, this species
the time over which the pitch will
change.
Higher settings will cause the pitch
change to the next note to take more
time.
Bend Range Up
0–48
[semitone]
Species the degree of pitch change
in semitones when the Pitch Bend
lever is all the way right. For example,
if this parameter is set to “48, the pitch
will rise four octave when the pitch
bend lever is moved to the right-most
position.
Bend Range Down
0–48
[semitone]
Species the degree of pitch change in
semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is
all the way left. For example if this is set
to “48” and you move the pitch bend
lever all the way to the left, the pitch
will fall 4 octaves.
Bend Range Fine Up
0–100 [cent]
Finely adjusts the degree of pitch
change in one-cent units when the
Pitch Bend lever is moved to the right.
Bend Range Fine Down
0–100 [cent]
Finely adjusts the degree of pitch
change in one-cent units when the
Pitch Bend lever is moved to the left.
Bend Mode
NORMAL The pitch bend lever works in the
conventional way.
CATCH + LAST
The pitch bend eect applies only to
the last-played note.
If a note-on occurs while pitch bend is
already applied, the new note sounds
at the center pitch.
The pitch starts changing only after the
controller passes through the center
position.
Soft Level Sens
0–100
Species the amount of volume change
that occurs when you operate the soft
pedal (CC#67).
This is eective when specied for
piano sounds.
ADSR Envelope Switch
OFF, ON
This imitates the operation of the ADSR
envelope that is provided on an analog
synthesizer.
If ADSR Env Switch is ON, the Time 2”
parameters of Pitch/Filter/Amp Env
Time respectively are ignored, and only
the “Level 3” parameters of Pitch/Filter/
Amp Env Level are valid.
Partial Switch
OFF, ON Use these switch to turn the partials
on/o.
