Creating a Patch

[F5 (MISC)]

Tone Delay

This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released), and the moment the tone actually begins to sound. You can also
make settings that shift the timing at which each tone is sounded. This differs from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound
qualities of the delayed tones and changing the pitch for each tone, you can also perform arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.

You can also synchronize the tone delay time to the tempo of the sequencer.

*

If you are not going to use Tone Delay, set the Delay Mode parameter to “NORM” and Delay Time parameter to “0.”

• If the Structure parameters set in the range of “2”–”10,” the output of tones 1 and 2 will be combined into tone 2, and the output of tones 3

and 4 will be combined into tone 4. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 38).

Explanation

Tone Delay Mode

NORM,
HOLD,
OFFN,
OFFD

Type of tone delay

NORM:

The tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed.

HOLD:

Although the tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed,

if the key is released before the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed, the tone is not
played.

OFFN:

Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to play once the period of time

specified in the 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.

OFFD:

Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to play once the period of time

specified in the 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 re-
lease portion of the envelope is heard.

* If you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is not

released), selecting “OFFN” or “OFFD” may result in no sound being heard.

Tone Delay Time

0-127,
Note

Time from when the key is pressed (or if the Delay Mode parameter is set to “OFFN” or “OFFD,” the time from
when the key is released) until when the tone will sound

Tone Delay Time specifies the beat length for the synchronized tempo when the tempo that specifies the
elapsed time until the tone is sounded (Patch Tempo) is synchronized with the tempo set in a sequencer.

Explanation

Tone Env Mode

NSUS,
SUST

When a loop waveform (p. 37) is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed. If
you want the sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to “NSUS.”

* If a one-shot type wave (p. 37) is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUST.”

Rx Bender

OFF, ON

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Rx Expression

OFF, ON

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Rx Hold-1

OFF, ON

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

* If “NSUS” is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting will have no effect.

Rx Pan Mode

CONT,
K-ON

For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received.

CONT:

Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the tone will be changed.

K-ON:

The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received

while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed.

* The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

Redamper Sw

OFF, ON

You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound will be held when a Hold 1 message
is received after a key is released, but before the sound has decayed to silence.

If you want to sustain the sound, set this “ON.” When using this function, also set the Rx Hold-1 param-
eter “ON.” This function is effective for piano sounds.
