Coarse (-24-24) (Realtime part)
The
Coarse
parameter
allows
you
to
tune
the
Upper2
part
in
semitone
steps,
which
comes
down
to
transposing
the
Upper2
part
relative
to
the
Upper!
part.
As
explained
in
the
Player's
Guide,
Upper2
Coarse
(and
also
Fine,
see
below)
are
only
useful
in
situations
where
both
the
Upperl
and
Upper?
parts
are
active.
Set
this
value
to
“-12”
to
transpose
the
Upper?
part
one
octave
down,
and
to
“7”
to
tune
it
up
one
fifth.
Quite
a
few
users
like
to
assign
piano
Tones
to
both
Upper
parts
and
then
transpose
Upper2
one
octave
up
(“12”).
The
maximum
range
of
this
parameter
is
two
octaves
down
(“24”)
or
two
octaves
up
(“24”),
Fine (-99~99) (Realtime part)
The
Fine
parameter
is
used
to
detune
the
Upper?
part
relative
to
the
Upper!
part.
Since
100
cent
equal
one
semitone,
this
parameter
effectively
allows
you
to
program
a
semitone
interval
between
Upper!
and
Upper2.
More
realistic
settings
would
be
“+10”
or
“-10”,
though.
Kbd Scale’
Use
the
Kbd
Scale
parameters
whenever
you
need
other
tunings
than
equal
temperament.
Equal
temperament
means
that
the
intervals
between
any
two
semitones
are
the
same,
which
is
not
the
case
in
oriental
music,
for
example,
or
in
baroque
music.
To
untrained
ears,
tunings
that
provide
varying
intervals
between
semitones
may
sound
flat.
But
then
again,
equal
tem-
perament
sounds
strange
to
other
musicians.
E
Assign
(Off,
UP
1-2,
All)
(Global
parameter)
This
parameter
allows
you
to
specify
which
parts
should
be
assigned
a
different
tuning.
DF
+
means
that
the
Value
settings
(see
below)
have
no
effect
on
the
equal
temperament
of
the
G-800's
parts.
If
you
select
IIF
1-2,
only
the
two
Upper
parts
will
be
processed
by
your
Value
settings.
Selecting
A11
means
that
all
Realtime,
Song,
and
Arranger
parts
will
be
tuned
the
way
you
specify
with
the
Value
parameter.
This
probably
only
works
for
a
few
factory
Styles.
But
then
again,
the
G-800
allows
you
to
program
your
own
Styles
that
could
take
advantage
of
the
Kbd
Scale
function.
Besides,
you
can
also
load
MSD
User
Styles
(programmed
on
an
E-86).
WE
Note
(C~B)
(Global
parameter)
This
is
not
really
a
settable
parameter.
Note
allows
you
to
select
the
note
whose
tuning
you
want
to
change.
Every
note
(from
C,
C#,
D,
D#
etc.
to
B)
can
be
selected
only
once,
so
that
the
Value
setting
applies
to
all
notes
of
the
same
name,
which
makes
sense,
of
course.
