Creating a Rhythm Instrument

Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [5] button to set part R as the current part.
Press a keyboard button to select the rhythm instrument you want to set.

The settings for the selected instrument are shown on the top screen, and you can configure the parameters of the instrument that you selected using the panel knobs.

Use the [1] knob, [ä] [å] or [OSC 1] [OSC 2] buttons to select the layer for which you want to choose a waveform.

Use the [2] knob (only if the top screen is shown) or the [MODEL] knob to select a waveform.

Use the [2] knob, [PITCH] knob, [OSC 1] slider, and [OSC 4] button to set the parameters of the layer you selected in step 1.

Parameter	Controller	Value	Explanation
Layer 1/2 Waveform	[2] knob (only if the top screen is shown), [MODEL] knob	-	Selects the waveform that’s played for each layer.
Layer 1/2 Coarse Tune	PITCH	-48–+48	Specifies the pitch in semitone steps (maximum ±4 octaves) for each layer.
Layer 1/2 Fine Tune	SHIFT+PITCH	-50–+50	Specifies the pitch in cents (maximum ±50 cents) for each layer.
Layer Balance	TIMBRE	127:0–0:127	Specifies the balance in volume between two layers. When this is set to 127:0, only layer 1 sounds.
Layer 1/2 FXM Depth	[OSC 1] slider	0–16	Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
PEnv Attack	[OSC 2] slider	0–255	Sets the attack time of the pitch envelope.
PEnv Decay	[OSC 3] slider	0–255	Sets the decay time of the pitch envelope.
PEnv Depth	[OSC 4] slider	0–+100	Sets the intensity of the pitch envelope. Larger values produce a greater change with the pitch envelope.
Layer 1/2 FXM Color	[OSC 4] button	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.

You can adjust the following parameters to process the waveform for each rhythm instrument.

Section	Controller	Value	Explanation
FILTER	TYPE	Select the filter type.
		LPF	A low-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies above the cutoff frequency. Cutting off the high frequencies makes the sound more mellow.
		BPF	A band-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies except for those around the cutoff frequency.
		HPF	A high-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies below the cutoff frequency.
	CUTOFF	0–1023	Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter.
	RES	0–1023	Emphasizes the frequencies around the filter’s cutoff frequency. Larger values produce greater emphasis, creating a unique synthesizer-like sound.
	FLT ENV ATTACK	0–255	Sets the attack time of the filter envelope.
	FLT ENV DECAY	0–255	Sets the decay time of the filter envelope.
	FLT ENV SUSTAIN	0–1023	Sets the sustain level of the filter envelope.
	FLT ENV RELEASE	0–1023	Sets the release time of the filter envelope.
	FLT ENV DEPTH	-63–+63	When the cutoff frequency is set to be controlled by the filter envelope, this adjusts how much the cutoff frequency changes.
AMP	AMP ENV ATTACK	0–255	Sets the attack time of the amp envelope.
	AMP ENV DECAY	0–255	Sets the decay time of the amp envelope.
	AMP ENV SUSTAIN	0–1023	Sets the sustain level of the amp envelope.
	AMP ENV RELEASE	0–1023	Sets the release time of the amp envelope.
	PAN	L63–63R	Sets the panning of the rhythm instrument’s sound when using stereo output.
	LEVEL	0–127	Adjusts the volume of the rhythm instrument.
