40 1x 14 00 00 01 00 - 02 ASSIGN MODE 0 = SINGLE

1 = LIMITED-MULTI 01 LIMITED-MULTI

2 = FULL-MULTI

00 at x=0 SINGLE(Drum Part)

01 at x≠0 LIMITED-MULTI(Normal Part)

Single: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, the previously-sounding note will be completely silenced, and then the new note will be sounded.

LimitedMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, the previously-sounding note will be continued to a certain extent even after the new note is sounded (default setting).

FullMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, the previously-sounding note(s) will continue sounding for their natural length even after the new note is sounded.

* ASSIGN MODE is the parameter that determines how voice assignment will be handled when sounds overlap on identical note numbers in the same channel (i.e., repeatedly struck notes).

This is initialized to a mode suitable for each Part, so for general purposes there is no need to change this.

1 = MAP1 01 at x=0 MAP1(Drum Part)

2 = MAP2

* This parameter sets the Drum Map of the Part used as the Drum Part. The GW-7 can simultaneously (in different Parts) use up to two Drum Maps (MAP1, MAP2). With the initial settings,

Part10 (MIDI CH=10, x=0) is set to MAP1 (1), and other Parts are set to normal instrumental Parts (OFF(0)).

Address (H) Size (H) Data (H) Parameter Description Default Value (H) Description

40 1x 16 00 00 01 28 - 58 PITCH KEY SHIFT -24 - +24 [semitones] 40 0 [semitones]

40 1x 17 00 00 02 08 - F8 PITCH OFFSET FINE -12.0 - +12.0 [Hz] 08 00 0 [Hz]

40 1x 18# Use nibblized data.

* PITCH OFFSET FINE allows you to alter, by a specified frequency amount, the pitch at which notes will sound. This parameter differs from the conventional Fine Tuning (RPN #1) parameter

in that the amount of frequency alteration (in Hertz) will be identical no matter which note is played. When a multiple number of Parts, each of which has been given a different setting for

PITCH OFFSET FINE, are sounded by means of an identical note number, you can obtain a Celeste effect.
