Creating a Rhythm Set
 
Rhythm Wave
 
Wave Group
 
Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the rhythm tone.
 
Value
INT:
 
Waveforms stored in internal memory
 
EXP:
 
Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board (SRX 
series) installed in EXP slots.
 
SMAP:
 
Sample waveforms
 
MSAM:
 
Multisample waveforms
 
You cannot select a waveform group of a Wave Expansion 
Board that is not installed.
 
Wave Bank
 
Select the wave bank.
 
Value
When the wave group is INT:
 
A, B
 
When the wave group is EXP:
 
A-F
 
When the wave group is SAMP:
 
PRST, USER, CARD
 
When the wave group is MSAM:
 
USER, CARD
 
Wave No. L (Mono) (Wave Number L (Mono))
Wave No. R (Wave Number R)
 
This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. Along with the 
Wave number, the Wave name will appear at the lower part of the 
display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in 
stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
 
Value:
 
  ----, 1–1228 (The upper limit will depend on the wave 
group.)
 
* When using a multisample in stereo, you must specify the same 
number for L and R.
 
Wave Gain
 
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 
dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
 
Value:
 
  -6, 0, +6, +12
 
Wave Tempo Sync
 
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), 
set this to “ON.” This is valid only when a separately sold wave 
expansion board is installed, and a waveform that indicates a tempo 
(BPM) is selected as the sample for a wave.
 
Value:
 
 OFF, ON
 
If a waveform from a wave expansion board is selected for the 
tone, turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter “ON” will cause 
pitch-related settings (p. 77) and FXM-related settings (p. 75) to 
be ignored.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM 
(tempo) parameter of the sample.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require 
twice the normal number of voices.
 
FXM Switch
 
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
 
Value:
 
 OFF, ON
 
FXM Color
 
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher 
settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a 
more metallic sound.
 
Value:
 
 1–4
 
FXM Depth
 
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
 
Value:
 
 0–16
 
When the Tempo Sync parameter is set to “ON,” settings 
related to Pitch (p. 77) and FXM (p. 75) are disabled. 
 
Wave Coarse Tune
 
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in semitone 
steps (+/-4 octaves).
 
Value:
 
 -48– +48
 
The Coarse Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone 
Coarse parameter (p. 77).
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s 
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One 
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of 
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example 
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase 
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
Realtime Time Stretch
If the wave group is “SAMP” or “MSAM,” and the Wave 
Tempo Sync parameter is turned “ON,” you can vary the 
playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform 
to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected 
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for 
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
