Creating a Patch
Modifying Waveforms (Wave)
fig.03-15_50
For details on the setting, refer to “How to Make the Patch
Settings” (p. 39).
Wave Group
Selects the group for the waveform that is to be the basis of the tone.
Value
INT: Waveforms stored in internal memory
EXP: Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board (SRX series)
installed in EXP slots.
SAMP: Sample waveforms
MSAM: Multisample waveforms
You cannot select a waveform group of a Wave Expansion Board
that is not installed.
Wave Bank
Selects the wave bank.
Value
When the wave group is EXP: A–D
When the wave group is SAMP: PRST, USER, CARD
When the wave group is MSAM: USER, CARD
Wave No. L (Mono) (Wave Number L (Mono))
Wave No. R (Wave Number R)
Selects the basic waveform for a tone. Along with the Wave number,
the Wave name appears at the lower part of the display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in
stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
* When using a multisample in stereo, you must specify the same
number for L and R.
Value: ----, 1–1228 (The upper limit will depend on the wave group.)
Wave Gain
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6
dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set
this parameter to its maximum value (p. 47).
Value: -6, 0, +6, +12
Wave Tempo Sync
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo),
set this to “ON.” This is valid only when a separately sold wave
expansion board is installed, and a waveform that indicates a tempo
(BPM) is selected as the sample for a tone.
Value: OFF, ON
• If a waveform from a wave expansion board is selected for the
tone, turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter “ON” will cause
pitch-related settings (p. 49) and FXM-related settings (p. 45) to
be ignored.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM
(tempo) parameter of the sample.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require
twice the normal number of voices.
• When the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is set to “ON,” set the Delay
Time parameter (p. 60) to “0.” With other settings, a delay effect will
be applied, and you will be not be able to play as you expect.
FXM Switch
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
FXM Color
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher
settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
Value: 1–4
FXM Depth ★
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
Value: 0–16
1
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
Realtime Time Stretch
If the wave group is “SAMP” or “MSAM,” and the Wave
Tempo Sync parameter is turned “ON,” you can vary the
playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.
2
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform
to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
