! Vel Cross Fade (Velocity Cross Fade)

This determines how gradually the sound of an Element

decreases in volume in proportion to the distance of

velocity changes outside the Velocity Limit setting (@). A

setting of 0 produces no sound outside the Velocity Limit.

The higher the value, the more gradual the level

decreases. The practical application of this parameter is to

create natural-sounding velocity cross fades, in which

different Elements (Waveforms) change gradually

depending on how strongly or softly you play.

Settings: 0 – 127

@ Velocity Limit

Determines the minimum and maximum values of the

velocity range within which each Element will respond.

Each Element will only sound for notes played within its

specified velocity range. For example, this lets you have

one Element sound when you play softly and have a

different one sound when you play strongly. If you specify

the maximum value first and the minimum value second, for

example “93 to 34,” then the velocity range covered will be

“1 to 34” and “93 to 127.”

Settings: 1 – 127

# Note Limit

Determines the lowest and highest notes of the keyboard

range for each Element. The selected Element will sound

only when you play notes within this range. If you specify

the highest note first and the lowest note second, for

example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covered will be “C

-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”

Settings: C -2 – G8

n You can also set the Key directly from the keyboard, by

holding down the [SF6] INFO button and pressing the desired

key. For details, see page 37.

$ Ins Effect Output (Insertion Effect Output)

Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to

process each individual element. The “thru” setting lets you

bypass the Insertion Effects for the specific key. This

parameter is the same as Element Out 1 – 8 on the

Connect display (page 64) in Voice Common Edit. Making

a setting here automatically changes the setting of that

parameter as well. When INSERTION CONNECT is set to

“Ins L,” the signal from each Element is output to the

Insertion L regardless of the setting here.

Settings: thru (through), ins A (Insertion A), ins B (Insertion B)

Pitch Settings—[F2] Pitch

1 Coarse (Coarse Tuning)

Determines the pitch of each Element in semitones.

Settings: -48 semi – +0 semi – +48 semi

2 Fine (Fine Tuning)

Determines the pitch of each Element in cents.

Settings: -64 cents – +0 cents – +63 cents

3 Pitch Velocity Sens (Pitch Velocity Sensitivity)

Determines how the pitch of the Element responds to

velocity. Positive settings will cause the pitch to rise the

harder you play the keyboard and negative settings will

cause it to fall. A setting of 0 results in no change in pitch.

Settings: -64 – +0 – +63

4 Fine Scaling Sens (Fine Scaling Sensitivity)

Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically,

their position or octave range) affect the pitch in fine tuning

(set above) of the selected Element, assuming C3 as the

basic pitch. A positive setting will cause the pitch of lower

notes to change lower and that of higher notes to change

higher. Negative values will have the opposite effect.

Settings: -64 – +0 – +63

5 Random

This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for

each note you play. The higher the value, the greater the

pitch variation. A value of “0” results in no pitch change.

Settings: 0 – 127
