Key [CB]
Indicates the tonic note of the specied scale.
This setting is not valid for Equal Temperament, Stretch,
and User All Notes Scale.
Random [07]
As this value is increased, a greater variance will be applied
to the pitch when each note is sounded. Normally you will
set this to 0. This parameter is used when simulating instru-
ments that have natural instability in pitch, such as tape-
mechanism organs or acoustic instruments.
If a scale other than Equal Temperament is selected, the
combination of the selected scale and the Key setting
may skew the tuning of the base key (for example
A=440 Hz). If this occurs, use Master Tune (GLOBAL
1.11a) to correct the pitch.
2.11d: UTILITY
Write Program (1.11c)
For details on how to select the desired utility function, refer
to PROG 1.11c: UTILITY.
Copy Oscillator
This function copies oscillator settings to the currently
selected program.
1 Select Copy Oscillator to access the dialog box.
2 In From, select the oscillator that you wish to copy and
the copy source program. You can use the Bank [A][G]
keys to select the bank.
3 In To, select the copy destination oscillator.
4 To execute the Copy Oscillator operation, press [F8]
(OK) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (Cancel) key.
Swap Oscillator
This command exchanges the settings of oscillators 1 and 2.
1 Select Swap Oscillator to access the dialog box.
2 To execute the Swap Oscillator operation, press [F8]
(OK) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (Cancel) key.
This can be selected only if Mode (Oscillator Mode)
(2.11a) is Double.
2.12: OSC1
The multisample(s) (waveform) or drum kit on which the
program will be based can be selected here for oscillator 1
and/or oscillator 2.
Internal ROM contains 425 different multisamples (preset
multisamples) and 73 drum kits. If an EXB-PCM series
option has been installed, you will be able to select multi-
samples from the installed option.
The following illustration shows a LCD screen where
Mode (Oscillator Mode) (2.11a) has been set to Double.
If this is set to Single, the OSC2 page parameter will not
appear and cannot be set.
The following illustration shows the display when Mode
(Oscillator Mode) (2.11a) has been set to Drums.
2.12a: OSC1 Multisample
Velocity SW LH [001...127]
The oscillator 1 High and Low multisamples that you spec-
ify in High, Low (2.12b) will be switched at the velocity
value that you specify here. Notes played with a velocity
stronger than this value will be sounded by the High multi-
sample.
2.12b: High, Low
Here you can select a multisample.
You can select different multisamples for High and Low, and
use velocity to switch between the two multisamples. Start
Offset, Reverse, and Level can be adjusted independently
for the High and Low multisamples.
High:
High MS Bank [ROM, EXB* ...]
High Multisample [000...424, 000...]
Species the bank and multisample number of the High
multisample. The multisample you select here will sounded
by velocities greater than the value of the Velocity SW
LH (2.12a) parameter. If you do not wish to use velocity
switching, set the value to 001, and select only the High mul-
tisample.
ROM: Select a preset multisample.
Use High Multisample to select from 000–424.
EXB*: Multisamples from a separately sold EXB-PCM series
option board can be selected. “*” will indicate the type of
installed option.
The multisample number for High Multisample will
depend on the options that are installed.
The EXB* display will differ depending on the type of
option board.
