About the Timbre Type Tones that are selected by each Instrument part have an attribute that

depends on the sound source operation type. This attribute is called the “timbre type,” which is one of

the types described below.

• Melody

This timbre type optimizes for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/oﬀ operations.

• Piano

This Timbre Type is for piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded is seamlessly

altered in accordance with the depressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing

sound in response to the note messages also is diﬀerent from that of the melody Timbre Type, and

operation is optimized for piano.

• LMPiano

This Timbre Type is for Linear Morphing piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded

and Damper Resonance eﬀect characteristics are seamlessly altered in accordance with the de-

pressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages

also is diﬀerent from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.

This setting optimizes for drum sounds. The damper pedal does not function. The Damper Pedal

(Sustain), Channel Coarse Tune, and Master Coarse Tune messages are ignored if they are received.
