3 Tune
Determines the fine tuning of the overall sound. You can
adjust the tuning in cent increments.
Settings: -102.4 cents – +0 cents – +102.3 cents
4 Sustain Pedal
Determines which model of an optional Foot Controller
connected to the FOOT SWITCH SUSTAIN jack is
recognized. When you connect an optional FC3 (equipped
with the half-damper feature) for producing a “half-damper”
effect (as on a real acoustic piano), set this parameter to
“FC3 (half on)” and set the Half Damper Switch parameter
to “on” in the Amplitude EG display (page 80) of Voice
Element Edit. If you don’t need or want to disable the half-
damper feature and still use an FC3, set this parameter to
“FC3 (half off).” When you connect an optional FC4 or FC5
(which is not equipped with the half-damper feature), set
this parameter to “FC4” or “FC5.”
Settings: FC3 (half on), FC3 (half off), FC4/5
n Note that this setting is not necessary when controlling the
half-damper feature via Control Change messages from an
external MIDI device to the instrument.
Keyboard
From this section, you can set the keyboard-related
parameters. The settings here affect the MIDI messages
generated by playing the keyboard.
5 Octave
Determines the amount in octaves by which the range of
the keyboard is shifted up or down. This setting can be
changed also by pressing any of the OCTAVE buttons.
Settings: -3 – +0 – +3
6 Transpose
Determines the amount in semitones by which the range of
the keyboard is shifted up or down.
Settings: -11 semi – +0 semi – +11 semi
n If you transpose beyond the note range limits (C -2 and G8),
notes in the adjacent octaves will be used.
7 Velocity Curve
The five curves determine how the actual velocity will be
generated and transmitted according to the velocity
(strength) with which you play notes on the keyboard. The
graph shown in the display indicates the velocity response
curve. (The horizontal line represents the received velocity
values (strength of your playing), while the vertical line
represents the actual velocity values transmitted to the
internal/external tone generators.)
Settings: normal, soft, hard, wide, fixed
normal
This linear “curve” produces one-to-one correspondence between the
strength of your keyboard playing (velocity) and the actual sound change.
soft
This curve provides increased response, especially for lower velocities.
hard
This curve effectively lessens the overall response compared to the
“norm” curve.
wide
This setting provides opposite response curves for lower and higher
velocities. It widens the apparent dynamic range of the controller,
producing less sound change in the softer range and more change in the
higher range.
fixed
This setting produces the same amount of sound change (set in Fixed
Velocity below), no matter what your playing strength.
8 Fixed Velocity
This parameter is available only when you select the “fixed”
Velocity Curve above. The velocity of the note you play is
fixed at the value set here.
Settings: 1 – 127
9 Effect ON/OFF Button (System)
Determines whether or not the System Effects (Reverb and
Chorus) are actually applied when the EFFECT ON/OFF
[SYSTEM] button is turned on.
From this display, you can change the design type of the
Top display in the Voice/Performance/Master mode as
desired.
1 Type
When “1” is selected, the Top display of each mode will
indicate the current status of the Knob/Slider, etc.
When “2” is selected, the Top display of each mode will
indicate the on/off status of each Element/Part, status of the
panel controllers and the status of the current Arpeggio,
etc.
Settings: 1, 2
2 Name Position
When “Top” is selected, the number/name of the program
(Voice, Performance or Master) is shown at the top of the
display.
When “Bottom” is selected, the number/name of the
program (Voice, Performance or Master) is shown at the
bottom of the display.
Settings: Top, Bottom
