Creating a Patch

Key Fade Lower (Keyboard Fade Width Lower)

This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a note
that’s lower than the tone’s specified keyboard range is played.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you
don’t want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard
range is played, set this parameter to “0.”

Value: 0–127

Key Range Lower (Keyboard Range Lower)

Specifies the lowest note that the tone will sound for each tone.

Value: C-1–UPPER

Key Range Upper (Keyboard Range Upper)

Specifies the highest note that the tone will sound for each tone.

Value: LOWER–G9

If you attempt to raise the lower key higher than the upper key,
or to lower the upper key below the lower key, the other value
will be automatically modified to the same setting.

Key Fade Upper (Keyboard Fade Width Upper)

This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a note
that’s higher than the tone’s specified keyboard range is played.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you
don’t want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard
range is played, set this parameter to “0.”

Value: 0–127

TMT Velocity Control
(TMT Velocity Control Switch)

TMT Velocity Control determines whether a different tone is played
(ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is
played (velocity).

When set to “RANDOM,” the patch’s constituent tones will sound
randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

When set to “CYCLE,” the patch’s constituent tones will sound
consecutively, regardless of any Velocity messages.

Value: OFF, ON, RANDOM, CYCLE

Instead of using Velocity, you can also have tones substituted
using the Matrix Control (p. 63). However, the keyboard velocity
and the Matrix Control cannot be used simultaneously to make
different tones to sound. When using the Matrix Control to
switch tones, set the Velocity Control parameter to “OFF.”

Velo Fade Lower (Velocity Fade Width Lower)

This Determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone
is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher
settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want
notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be
sounded at all, set this to “0.”

Value: 0–127

Velo Range Lower (Velocity Range Lower)

This sets the lowest velocity at which the tone will sound. Make
these settings when you want different tones to sound in response to
notes played at different strengths.

Value: 1–UPPER

Velo Range Upper (Velocity Range Upper)

This sets the highest velocity at which the tone will sound. Make
these settings when you want different tones to sound in response to
notes played at different strengths.

Value: LOWER–127

If you attempt to set the Lower velocity limit above the Upper, or
the Upper below the Lower, the other value will automatically
be adjusted to the same setting.

When using the Matrix Control to have different tones played,
set the lowest value (Lower) and highest value (Upper) of the
value of the MIDI message used.

Velo Fade Upper (Velocity Fade Width Upper)

This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is
played at a velocity greater than its specified velocity range. Higher settings
produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside
the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to “0.”

Value: 0–127

fig.Vel Range.e

TMT Control Sw (TMT Control Switch)

Use the Matrix Control to enable (ON), or disable (OFF) sounding of
different tones.

Value: OFF, ON

You can also cause different tones to sound in response to notes
played at different strengths (velocity) on the keyboard (p. 48).
However, the Matrix Control and the keyboard velocity cannot
be used simultaneously to make different tones to sound. When
you want to make the different tones to sound, set the Velocity
Control parameter (p. 48) to “OFF.”
