Setting the sound triggering mode (POLY)
This shows how to set the way that the sound source is triggered when one or more notes are played (input) using the keyboard pads or the sequencer.
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [POLY] pad.
Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.
Value
Explanation
Nono (Mono)
Monophonic mode.
Plays single tones.
Uni (Unison)
Unison mode.
Stacks multiple tones to play a layered note.
PoLy (Poly)
Polyphonic mode.
Lets you play more than one tone at the same time (up to four voices).
Chd (Chord)
Chord mode.
Plays voices 2–4 at the same time for each note that you play, according to the parameter settings below.
Press pad [2] (ENTER) while “Chd” is shown in the display to configure the following parameters.
Value
Explanation
v²Sľ (Voice 2 SW)
Turns the sound of voice 2 on/off.
v²kS (Voice 2 Key Shift)
Transposes the key of voice 2 (range: -12–0–12).
v³Sľ (Voice 3 SW)
Turns the sound of voice 3 on/off.
v³kS (Voice 3 Key Shift)
Transposes the key of voice 3 (range: -12–0–12).
v´Sľ (Voice 4 SW)
Turns the sound of voice 4 on/off.
v´kS (Voice 4 Key Shift)
Transposes the key of voice 4 (range: -12–0–12).
Setting how portamento works (PORTAMENTO)
Portamento is an effect that makes one pitch glide smoothly into another.
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PORTA ON] pad.
Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.
Value
Explanation
OFF
Portamento is not applied, regardless of the portamento time setting.
On
Portamento is always applied.
AUto
Portamento operates only when you play in a legato style (or in other words, when you play the next keyboard pad before you completely take your finger off the previous keyboard pad).
You can control whether portamento is applied (ON) or not (OFF) by the way that you play.
Setting the portamento time (PORTAMENTO TIME)
Follow these steps to change how much time it takes (portamento time) to glide smoothly between pitches.
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PORTA TIME] pad.
- Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value (0–255).
Changing the tonal range when you play (TRANSPOSE)
This parameter lets you move the tonal range of the keyboard pads or of the sequencer within a range of ±60 half steps (±5 octaves).
This also changes the FILTER KYBD (filter keyboard follow) value in the FILTER section.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [STEP] button.
Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value (-60–60).
At this time, you can also hold down the [SHIFT] button and press a keyboard pad to make this setting within a range of -12 to +12. (Ver. 1.02)
This is useful when you want to quickly transpose the pitch while a pattern is playing.
Setting the modulation depth (LFO Modulation Depth)
When the OSC or FILTER receive D-MOTION signals or MIDI modulation, they are controlled by the LFO sine wave output (producing vibrato or growl effects).
This parameter sets the intensity.
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [15] (MENU).
- Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select “Nod.d”, and press pad [2] (ENTER).
- Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value (0–255).
Setting the variable range of the pitch bend (Oscillator Bend Sens)
This sets the variable range when you control the oscillation frequency (pitch) of the OSC using D-MOTION or MIDI pitch bend signals (over a maximum of ±2 octaves).
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [15] (MENU).
- Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select “bnd.o”, and press pad [2] (ENTER).
Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value (0–240).
120: ±1oct, 240: ±2oct
Setting the variable range when using pitch bend to control the cutoff frequency (Filter Bend Sens)
This sets the variable range when you control the filter’s cutoff point using D-MOTION or MIDI pitch bend signals.
- Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [15] (MENU).
- Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select “bnd.F”, and press pad [2] (ENTER).
- Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value (0–255).
