Section 2 — System Page Parameters
1
These parameters control instrument-wide system functions. The settings of these parameters
will remain in effect at all times and are preserved while the power is off. You can back-up the
settings of the System Page parameters for quick recall by saving the System Set-up on the
Storage page (see Section 13 - Storage for more information). The System Page has three sub-
pages. Press the System button to display the first sub-page:
TUNE Range: -99 to +99 cents
Adjusts the overall master tuning of the keyboard up or down as much as one semitone. A value
of +00 will set the TS-12 to concert A= 440 tuning.
PITCH-BEND Range: 00 to 12 semitones
Held Range: 00H to 12H semitones
Adjusts the system pitch bend range, which is the maximum amount of pitch bend that can be
applied with the pitch wheel. Each increment represents a semitone.
The bend range will apply to all programs except those which have been programmed to override
the system bend range. If you adjust the system bend range, and a program does not seem to
pitch-bend the correct amount, check the setting of the BEND parameter on the Pitch Mods page
for each voice in that particular program. If BEND=SYS, then the program uses the system bend
range. Otherwise, the program has its own bend range and will ignore the system bend range.
The “H” suffix on the semitone value indicates that Held Pitch Bend mode is active. In this
mode, only keys that are actually being held down will be affected by the pitch bend wheel.
TOUCH Range: (described below)
Allows you to adjust the velocity response of the keyboard to match your playing style and
technique. All velocity curves affect both internal dynamic response and the velocity values
transmitted via MIDI. There are 14 velocity response (Touch) settings:
• PNO-VEL1 • SYN-VEL1 • FIXED-64
• PNO-VEL2 • SYN-VEL2 • FIXED127
• PNO-VEL3 • SYN-VEL3
• PNO-VEL4 • SYN-VEL4
• PNO-VEL5 • SYN-VEL5
• PNO-VEL6 • SYN-VEL6
Note: When using a Piano velocity curve (PNO), pressing a key down very slowly and softly will yield
no sound. This is exactly how a real piano key would respond. When using a Synth velocity
curve (SYN), pressing a key down very slowly and softly will always yield a sound. This is the
only difference between a PIANO velocity curve and a SYNTH velocity curve.
