Creating a Performance
[F3 (Pitch)]

For details on these settings, refer to
Part Octave Shift
Adjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in units of an
octave (+/-3 octaves).
Value:
-3– +3
Note that when a rhythm set is assigned to a part, you cannot
modify the Octave Shift parameter.
Part Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in semitone steps
(+/-4 octaves).
Value:
-48– +48
Part Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-
50 cents).
Value:
-50– +50
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
Part Mono/Poly
Set this parameter to “MONO” when the patch assigned to the part
is to be played monophonically, or to “POLY” when the patch is to
be played polyphonically. If you want to use the Mono/Poly setting
of the patch assigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”
Value:
MONO, POLY, PAT
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is
assigned.
Part Legato Switch
You can add legato when performing monophonically. The term
“legato” refers to a playing style in which notes are smoothly
connected to create a flowing feel. This creates a smooth transition
between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the
hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to use the Legato feature
and “OFF” when you don’t. If you want to use the Legato Switch
setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”
Value:
OFF, ON, PAT
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is
assigned.
Part Pitch Bend Range
Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (2 octaves) that
will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The amount of
change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left
and right sides. If you want to use the Pitch Bend Range setting of
the patch assigned to the part (p. 67), set this to “PAT.”
Value:
0–24, PAT
Part Portamento Switch
Specify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this parameter
“ON” when you want to apply Portamento and “OFF” when you
don’t. If you want to use the Portamento Switch setting of the patch
assigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”
Value:
OFF, ON, PAT
Part Portamento Time
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the
pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time. If you want to use the Portamento Time
setting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 78), set this to “PAT.”
Value:
0–127, PAT
This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is
assigned.
Coarse Tune and Octave Shift
The Coarse Tune and Fine Tune parameters, along with the
Octave Shift parameter, can all be seen as doing the same thing
to the sound, i.e., changing the pitch of the sound. For example,
if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Coarse Tune parameter set
to “+12,” the note produced is C5 (one octave above C4). For
example, if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Octave Shift
parameter set to “+1,” the note produced is C5 (one octave
above C4).
However, internally these function very differently. When the
Coarse Tune parameter is set to “+12,” the pitch itself is raised
one octave. On the other hand, when the Octave Shift parameter
is set to “+1,” it is the same as pressing the keys one octave up.
In other words, use the Coarse Tune parameter when changing
the pitch, and the Octave Shift parameter when you want to
shift the entire keyboard, for example, when the number of keys
is insufficient.
