Tone Parameters (Upper/Lower Tone Menu)
Bend (Bender Mode)
Selects how the pitch is controlled by the bender lever as follows.
Value: OFF, KF, Norm
Indication Function
OFF No pitch alteration by moving the lever right or the left.
KF
Pitch changes within the Bender range, set in Patch Factors,
plus Keyfollow (Pitch) of WG.
Norm Pitch changes within the Bender range, set in Patch Factors.
Bender Mode Example:
5 If the Bender range (p. 3) is set to 12 (1 octave), and the
Keyfollow (Pitch) (p. 11) of WG is set to 2, the maximum
pitch change caused by moving the Bender Lever is 2
octaves.
5 When the Keyfollow (Pitch) (p. 11) of WG is set to zero,
there is no pitch change caused by the Bender lever.

S3 WG Form
WaveSAW
Wave (Waveform)
Selects the waveform of the synthesizer sound generator.
Value: SQU, SAW
Indication Waveform
SQU
(Square wave)
SAW (Sawtooth)
* A sawtooth waveform is produced by processing a square
Waveform at the TVF, that is, all the waveform are square at WG
even when a sawtooth is selected.
PCM (PCM Wave Number)
This selects one of the 100 dierent sampled waves of the PCM
sound generator.

“Waveform” (p. 29)
Value: 1–100
WG PW (Pulse Width)

PW 00 Velo 00
PW (Pulse Width)
A square waveform has exactly the same width, up and down but
a Pulse waveform has dierent widths. The ratio of upper width
to lower is called pulse width. Depending on the set pulse width
value, the harmonic content of the sound changes greatly.
Value: 0–100
* When a sawtooth is selected with WG Waveform , pulse width
50% raises the pitch by an octave.

Velo (Velocity Range)
Sets the sensitivity of the velocity that controls the pulse width.
With “-” values, the pulse width becomes smaller by playing the
keyboard harder, and with “+” values, the pulse width becomes
wider by playing the keyboard harder.
Value: -7–+7

Aftr (Aftertouch Range)
Sets the sensitivity of the aftertouch that controls the pulse width.
With “-” values, the pulse width becomes smaller with stronger
aftertouch, and with “+” values, the pulse width becomes wider
with stronger aftertouch.
Value: -7–+7
