of the PITCH CHANGE program. For example, if BASE
KEY = C4, then pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer
keyboard will set the pitch change value to -12 (one
octave down). Pressing D4 on the keyboard would
produce a pitch increase of one tone (+2). If a key
more than one octave higher or lower than the BASE
KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will
still be within the -M2 to -12 range, as shown in the
following illustration. If the BASE KEY setting is OFF,
pitch can not be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal.

Note:
Depending on the input source, the sound output
may slightly be off from the specified pitch.
FREEZE
The FREEZE programs permit "recording" up to a
2000-millisecond signal in the SPX90II memory, and
playing it back as required. The FREEZE programs have
two basic steps: RECORDand PLAY. With the FREEZE
A program, it is possible to program a specific segment
of the recorded 2000-millisecond signal to be replayed
by programming the START and END points.
The FREEZE B program does not permit programming
START and END points, but the pitch of the recorded
signal can be ahanged for playback.
1. REC. MODE Selection. Range: Manual, Auto
Press the Parameter key and select the Manual mode
with the Parameter Increment key or AUTO Mode
by pressing the Parameter Decrement key. In the
MANUAL mode, press the Parameter Increment
key to begin recording, while in the AUTO mode
recording begins automatically when the SPX90II
detects an input signal.
2. TRIGGER DELAY. Range: -2000 ~ 2000msec.
This parameter determines the actual point at which
recording begins in relation to the trigger signal.
IfTRG DLYissetatO, recording begins immediately
when the FREEZE function is triggered. If a negative
TRG DLY value is set the input signal is delayed
so that in effect recording begins before the function
is triggered.
