Tone Parameters
TONE/PARTIAL
Parameter Value Explanation
Partial SW OFF, ON Turns each partial on/o.
TONE/PARTIAL/OSC
Parameter Value Explanation
OSC Type
Species the oscillator type.
PCM (INT A–D)
The wave of the number specied by the
Wave Group (INT A–D) and Wave LEFT/
RIGHT is used.
VA
A numerically calculated analog-modeled
wave is generated.
The wave of the number specied by
Wave is used.
PCM-Sync
The wave of the number specied by
PCM-Sync Wave Number is used.
SuperSAW SuperSAW is used.
Noise White noise is used.
Wave LEFT/RIGHT
Species the wave that is used when OSC Type is “PCM.”
Species the wave within the group specied by Wave Group.
If using mono, specify only the LEFT and leave RIGHT at “0: OFF.”
If using stereo, specify the RIGHT as well.
If you specify only RIGHT, no sound is heard.
Waveform
Species the wave that is used when OSC Type is “VA.”
SAW Sawtooth wave
SQR Square wave
TRI Triangle wave
SIN sine wave
RAMP Ramp wave
JUNO Modulated sawtooth wave
TRI2 Triangle wave variation
TRI3 Triangle wave variation
SIN2 Sine wave variation
VA Waveform
Invert Switch
OFF, ON
If this is “ON,” the phase of the VA
waveform is inverted.
PCM-Sync Wave
Species the wave that is used when OSC Type is “PCM-Sync.”
The PCM-Sync oscillator is eective when specied as the
Slave (the sync-modulated partial 1 or 3) when Structure is set
to “SYNC.”
Gain -18–+12 [dB]
Species the gain (amplitude) of the
waveform.
The value will change in 6 dB (decibel)
steps.
Each 6 dB increase doubles the gain.
Pulse Width 0–127
This eect is produced when the
waveform is deformed by varying the
duty cycle of the pulse width.
It is eective when OSC Type is “VA,” and is
also eective with waveforms other than
SQR (square wave).
* If the value is 64, the pulse width has a
50%: 50% duty cycle.
PWM Depth -63–+63
Species the amount (depth) of LFO
applied to PW (Pulse Width).
PW is modulated according to the LFO2
setting.
Click Type
SOFT, HARD,
NATURAL, OFF
Changes the sense of attack by varying
the position at which the sound starts.
This is available if OSC Type is “VA.”
However, HARD is eective only when
Waveform is “TRI,” “TRI2,” “SIN,” or “SIN2.”
Fat 0–127
Boosts the low-frequency region.
* This is valid when the OSC Type is “VA.”
SuperSAW Detune 0–127
Adjusts the Detune depth for SuperSAW.
Higher values produce a deeper Detune
eect.
* This is valid when the OSC Type is
“SuperSAW.”
Parameter Value Explanation
OSC Attenuator 0–255
Species the OSC level.
255 is the reference value. If you want
only the self-oscillation of the lter to be
heard, set this to 0.
FXM Switch OFF, ON
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON)
or not (OFF).
MEMO
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses
a specied waveform to apply frequency
modulation to the currently selected
waveform, creating complex overtones.
This is useful for creating dramatic sounds
or sound eects.
FXM Color 1–4
Species how FXM will perform
frequency modulation. Higher settings
result in a grainier sound, while lower
settings result in a more metallic sound.
FXM Depth 0–16
Species the depth of the modulation
produced by FXM.
Delay Mode
Partial Delay
This produces a time delay between the moment a key is
pressed (or released), and the moment the partial actually
begins to sound. You can also make settings that shift the
timing at which each partial is sounded.
This diers from the Delay in the internal eects, in that by
changing the sound qualities of the delayed partials and
changing the pitch for each partial, you can also perform
arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.
You can also synchronize the partial delay time to the tempo
of the external MIDI sequencer.
If Legato Retrigger Interval is other than OFF, legato operation
occurs only when Delay Mode is NORMAL.
Also in this case, Legato Retrigger Interval operates as 0
(retriggers at each Delay Time).
NORMAL
The partial begins to play after the
time specied in the Partial Delay Time
parameter has elapsed.

No Partial Delay
HOLD
Although the partial begins to play after
the time specied in the Partial Delay
Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is
released before the time specied in the
Partial Delay Time parameter has elapsed,
the partial is not played.
