Creating a Patch
 
Key Fade Lower 
(Keyboard Fade Width Lower)
 
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a note 
that’s lower than the tone’s specified keyboard range is played. 
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you 
don’t want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard 
range is played, set this parameter to “0.”
 
Value:
 
 0–127
 
Key Range Lower (Keyboard Range Lower)
 
Specifies the lowest note that the tone will sound for each tone.
 
Value:
 
 C-1–UPPER
 
Key Range Upper (Keyboard Range Upper)
 
Specifies the highest note that the tone will sound for each tone.
 
Value:
 
 LOWER–G9
 
If you attempt to raise the lower key higher than the upper key, 
or to lower the upper key below the lower key, the other value 
will be automatically modified to the same setting.
 
Key Fade Upper (Keyboard Fade Width Upper)
 
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a note 
that’s higher than the tone’s specified keyboard range is played. 
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you 
don’t want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard 
range is played, set this parameter to “0.”
 
Value:
 
 0–127

TMT Velocity Control 
(TMT Velocity Control Switch)
 
TMT Velocity Control determines whether a different tone is played 
(ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is 
played (velocity).
When set to “RANDOM,” the patch’s constituent tones will sound 
randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages. 
When set to “CYCLE,” the patch’s constituent tones will sound 
consecutively, regardless of any Velocity messages. 
 
Value:
 
  OFF, ON, RANDOM, CYCLE
 
Instead of using Velocity, you can also have tones substituted 
using the Matrix Control (p. 54). However, the keyboard 
velocity and the Matrix Control cannot be used simultaneously 
to make different tones to sound. When using the Matrix 
Control to switch tones, set the Velocity Control parameter to 
“OFF.”
Booster
The Booster is used to distort the incoming signal.

In addition to using this to create distortion, you can use the 
waveform (WG1) of one of the tones as an LFO which shifts the 
other waveform (WG2) upward or downward to create 
modulation similar to PWM (pulse width modulation). This 
parameter works best when you use it in conjunction with the 
Wave Gain parameter (p. 54).

Ring Modulator
A ring modulator multiplies the waveforms of two tones with 
each other, generating many new overtones (in harmonic 
partials) which were not present in either waveform. (Unless 
one of the waveforms is a sine wave, evenly-spaced frequency 
components will not usually be generated.)
As the pitch difference between the two waveforms changes the 
harmonic structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic 
sound. This function is suitable for creating metallic sounds 
such as bells.
