Editable Parameters in the Voice Set Displays
The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different pages. The parameters in each page are described
separately, below.
NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice.
 Common Page
1 Volume/Touch Sense/Part Octave
2 Mono/Poly Portamento Time
[2 ] Volume Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
[3 ]/
[4 ]
Touch Sense Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume
responds to your playing strength.
Depth: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice
changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
Offset: Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the
actual velocity effect.
[5 ]/
[6 ]
Part Octave Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited
Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available;
when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available.
[1 ]/
[2 ]
Mono/Poly Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically (Mono) or poly-
phonically (Poly). When selecting “Mono,” you can play single, lead sounds such
as brass instruments more realistically. Depending on the Voice, Portamento may
be produced when notes are played with legato.
NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
[3 ]/
[4 ]
Mono Type Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar Voice,
when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to “Mono” above.
Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.
Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only the pitch
changes to that of the next note.
Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played note to the
next note.
NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves
the same as the “Normal” setting when these Voices are selected.
NOTE When Legato or Crossfade is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be dif-
ferent from Normal, depending on the panel settings.
