Portamento
Normally,thisshouldbesettoPRG.
IftheProgramusesportamento,butyou’dliketo

Timbre Parameters: Pitch
Transpose, Detune (BPM Adjust)
Theseparametersadjustthepitchofthetimbre.
•Inalayer‐typecombination,youcansettwoor

Delay
YoucansetsomeTimbressothattheydon’tsound
immediatelyatnote‐on.Thiscancreatecooleffects,
andmoredramaticlayers.
YoucanspecifythedelayforeachTimbreeitherin
milliseconds(ms),orinrhythmicvalueswhichsyncto

IfyousettheDelayto
KeyOff,theTimbrewillsound

Editing Programs with Tone Adjust
UsingToneAdjust,youcanmakedetailededitsto
ProgramswithinthecontextoftheCombi.Theseedits
willnotaffecttheoriginalProgram,oranyother
CombiswhichusetheProgram.ToeditaProgram
withToneAdjust:
1. PresstheTONEADJUSTbuttonunder
CONTROLASSIGN.
Thebutton’sLEDwilllight
up.
2. GototheControlSurfacetabofthePlaypage.
ThispagemirrorstheControlSurface.It’sveryuseful
withToneAdjust,sinceitshowsyoutheparameter
assignments,exactvalues,andsoon.
3. SelecttheTimbrewhoseparametersyou’dliketo
adjust.
ThiscorrespondstotheTimbreselectedin
TIMBRE/TRACK
mode.Youcansetthisusingthe
TimbreparameterontherightsideoftheLCD,orby
holdingdowntheTONEADJUSTbuttonandpressing
anyoftheControlPanelswitches.Thetoprowselects
Timbres1‐8,andthebottomrowselectsTimbres9‐16.
4. Editthecontrolsas
desired.
Inadditiontoeditingthevalues,youcanalsochange
theassignmentsofToneAdjustparameterstothe
sliders,knobs,andswitches.Formoreinformation,see
