Release Time Offset

Release Time Offset alters the release time of the overall

patch, while preserving the relative differences between the

release time values set for each tone in the A-Env Time 4

parameters (p. 115), F-Env Time 4 parameters (p. 112).

Range:

-63–

+63

*

Release Time:

The time from when you take your finger off

the key until the sound disappears.

This value is added to the release time value of a tone,

so if the release time value of any tone is already set to

“127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not

produce any change.

Velocity Sens Offset
(Velocity Sensitivity Offset)

Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the

overall patch while preserving the relative differences

between the Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone in

the parameters below.

Cutoff V-Sens parameter (p. 111)

Level V-Sens parameter (p. 113)

Range:

-63–

+63

*

Velocity:

Pressure with which the key is pressed.

This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a

tone, so if the velocity sensitivity value of any tone is

already set to “+63” (maximum), positive “+” settings

here will not produce any change.

Mono/Poly

Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY)

or monophonically (MONO). The “MONO” setting is effective

when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.

Value

MONO:

Only the last-played note will sound.

POLY:

Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

Legato Switch

Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set

to “MONO.” This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch

will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

With the Legato Switch parameter “ON,” pressing a key while

continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change

pitch to the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding

all the while. 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.

Value:

OFF,

ON

Legato Retrigger (Legato Retrigger Switch)

The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter

is set to “MONO” and the Legato Switch parameter is set to

“ON.” The setting determines whether sounds are replayed

(ON) or not (OFF) when performing legato. Normally you will

leave this parameter “ON.” When “OFF,” when one key is held

down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch

changes, without the attack of the latter key being played.

Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or

when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard

sound.

Value:

OFF,

ON

Let’s say you have the Legato Switch set to “ON,” and

the Legato Retrigger set to “OFF.” When you try to

sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower

key is held down), the pitch may sometimes not be able

to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping

instead at an intermediate pitch). This can occur

because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the

wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing

upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that

uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO.

When making large pitch changes, set the Legato

Retrigger to “ON.”
