Settings for the entire OASYS (Global mode)
How Global mode is structured
InGlobalmodeyoucanmakeoverallsettingsthat
applytotheentireOASYS,suchasmastertune,key
transpose,effectglobalswitch,globalMIDIchannel,
andsystemclock.
Inaddition,youcancreateuserdrumkits,wave
sequence,andscales,makesettingsforthedamper
pedalandassignablefootswitches/pedals,
andspecify
categorynamesforprogramsandcombinations.
TheeditsyouperforminGlobalmodewillbe
preserveduntilthepoweristurnedoff,butwillnot
bepreservedafterthepoweristurnedoffunless
youfirstsaveyoursettings.Threetypesofdataare
handledinGlobalmode:wave
sequencesettings
(GlobalP4),userdrumkitsettings(GlobalP5),and
allotherglobalsettings(GlobalP0–P3).Eachof
thesecanbewrittenintotheirrespectivememory
area.Thisdatacanalsobesavedtovarioustypesof
mediainDiskmode.

P0: Basic Setup
Tuning to another instrument/Transposing
“MasterTune”adjuststheoverallpitch.Editthis
settingwhenyouareplayingtheOASYSwithother
instruments,orwhenplayingalongwithmusiconCD
ortape.Youcanadjustthepitchinarangeof±50cents
(onesemitone=100cents).Ifthisisat0,middleA
is
tunedto440Hz.
KeyTransposeshiftsthepitchinsemitonesteps.Edit
thissettingwhenyouwanttotransposethesoundof
theentireOASYS.Youcanadjustthetranspositionina
rangeof±1octave.
Adjusting the way in which velocity or
after touch will affect the volume or tone
Youcanadjustthewayinwhichchangesinvelocityor
aftertouchwillaffectthevolumeortone.Thisletsyou
(forexample)makethevolumeofthenotesmore
consistent,evenwhentheyareplayedwithvarying
dynamics.
Eachcurvehasitsowncharacter,soyoucanselectthe

curvethatisappropriateforyourownplaying
dynamics,playingstyle,andtheeffectthatyouwishto
obtain.
VelocityCurveselectsthevelocitycurve,andAfter
TouchCurveselectstheaftertouchcurve.
Bypassing the effects
Inserteffects,mastereffects,andtotaleffectscanbe
bypassedglobally.ThisappliestotheentireOASYS
regardlessofthemode.Forexample,ifyou’ve
connectedtheOASYS’soutputstoanexternalmixer
andareusinganexternaleffectprocessortoapply
reverborchorustothesound,youcanturn
offthe
OASYS’smastereffectsandtotaleffects.
IftheEffectGlobalSW“IFX1–12Off,”“MFX1&2Off,”
and“TFX1&2Off”itemsarechecked,the inserteffects,
mastereffect,willrespectivelybebypassed.
