3–3: PITCH
Here you can adjust pitch-related settings for timbres 1–16.
Timbre 01...16 (Timbre Number)
To select a timbre (active timbre), place the cursor at one of the
following parameters, and use the cursor buttons to switch
timbres.(see page 71)
Transpose [–60…+00…+60]
Adjusts the pitch of each timbre in semitone steps.
12 units equal one octave.
When Status (COMBI> PROG) is INT, this parameter will
affect the pitches sounded by the KROSS. When Status is
EXT, this parameter will affect the note numbers of the MIDI
note messages that are transmitted.
For example if you adjust settings of +04 and +07
respectively for two timbres that are set to EXT, playing the
C key will transmit a C note number on the global MIDI
channel, and at the same time will also transmit E and G note
numbers on the MIDI channels of those timbres.
Detune (Use BPM Adj.) [–1200...+0000...+1200]
Adjusts the pitch of each timbre in one-cent units.
+0000: Normal pitch.
Note: You can also use the Detune BPM Adjust function to alter
a loop’s tempo via detuning. Since this will alter the pitch of the
loop along with the tempo, it’s generally suited only to un-pitched
percussive loops.
Transpose and Detune can be controlled via MIDI RPN
messages. The way that this works depends on whether or not
the Timbre uses a Drum Program.
If the Timbre does not use a Drum Program for example, if it
uses a Single or Double Program then MIDI RPN Coarse
Tune will control Transpose, and RPN Fine Tune will
control Detune.
If the Timbre uses a Drum Program, MIDI RPN Coarse Tune
and Fine Tune will be combined to control Detune. The
overall range is ±1 octave for coarse tune and fine tune
together.
Bend Range [PRG, –24...+00...+24]
Specifies the maximum amount of pitch change (in semitones) that
will occur when the pitch bend wheel is used.
PRG: The pitch range specified by the program will be used.
–24…+24: This setting will be used regardless of the setting in the
program.
The MIDI RPN Pitch Bend Change message can be received
to control this and change the setting. (However it will not be
received if this parameter is set to PRG.) This message is
received on the MIDI channel for each timbre set by MIDI
Channel (C–TIMBRE> MIDI).
Timbre Info.
Shows the settings of timbres 1–16 for the parameter that you're
editing.
Soloed timbres are indicated by (S).
3–4: SCALE
Here you can adjust settings for the scale of timbres 1–16.
Scale Type [Equal Temperament...User Octave Scale15]
Selects the scale.
For more information, please see the “2–3: SCALE” section on
page 10.
Key [C…B]
Selects the tonic key of the selected scale.
Random [0…7]
As this value is increased, an increasingly random deviation will
be added to the pitch at each note-on.
If Status (COBI> PROG) is INT, this setting will affect the
pitch produced by the KROSS. If Status is EXT, this setting
will affect the note number of the note messages transmitted
via MIDI.
Timbre 01...16 (Timbre Number)
To select a timbre (active timbre), place the cursor at one of the
following parameters, and use the cursor buttons to switch
timbres.(see page 71)
Use Program’s Scale [Off, On]
Timbre can use the scale that is specified by Scale (P–BASIC>
SCALE).
On (checked): The scale specified by the program will be used.
Off (unchecked): The scale specified by Scale Type will be used.
Timbre Info.
Shows the settings of timbres 1–16 for the parameter that you're
editing.
