Part Parameters
10
1-2-2 Pitch
The processing unit controls the pitch of the wave output from the Oscillator on the tone
generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument.
You can detune separate Elements/Operators, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting
the Pitch Envelope Generator (Pitch EG), you can control how the pitch changes over time.
Coarse Tune Determines the pitch of each Element/Operator/Drum Key.
Fine Tune Fine-tunes the pitch of each Element/Operator/Drum Key.
Pitch Velocity Sensitivity Determines how the pitch of the Element/Operator/Drum Key responds to
Velocity.
 Positive values: The harder you play the keyboard, the more the pitch
rises.
 Negative values: The harder you play the keyboard, the more the
pitch falls.
 0: No change in pitch.
This parameter for the Normal Part (FM-X) is available only when
“Oscillator Freq Mode” is set to “Fixed.”
Pitch Fine Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or
Octave Range) affect the pitch in Fine Tuning.
 Positive values: The pitch of lower notes drops and that of higher
notes rises.
 Negative values: The pitch of lower notes rises and that of higher
notes drops.
Random Pitch Depth This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element/Operator for each
note you play.
 The higher the value, the greater the pitch variation.
 0: No pitch change.
Pitch Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of
adjacent notes), assuming the pitch of the Center Key as standard.
 +100% (the normal setting): Adjacent notes are pitched one semitone
apart.
 0%: All notes have the same pitch as the Center Key.
 Negative values: The settings are reversed.
This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with
sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones, such as pitched drum
sounds in a Normal Part.
In case of the Normal Part (FM-X), available setting value range for the
parameter is between 0 and 99. If set to 0, the pitch of the note is same as
the pitch of the next note on the keyboard. If set to 99, this results the
normal pitch setting (+100%).
This parameter is available only when “Oscillator Freq Mode” is set to
“Fixed.”
