2.PUYING A
PERFORMANCE
Parameters Available for Realtime Control
The parameters which can be controlled while you
are playing in the Performance Play mode
are roughly divided
into
three categories.
These are parameters which are related to the overall
sound, such as the volume and the fixed
stereo
position of the
Part. They are not parameters of the Patch itself, but
are parameters of a Part
that
apply
relative changes
to settings
such as level, pan and pitch, which are already set for the Patch.

By controlling the Volume for each Part, you can mix the
sounds just as you
would
with an
eight-channel mixer.
It
is possible to adjust the dynamic balance of the sounds by increasing the level of the Part which plays the melody or
rhythm, for example. You can also finely adjust the relative levels
of all the Parts to create a
well-balanced
ensemble
sound. The function can also be used for fading Parts
in and out or for
muting them.
^
The sound image moves left and right when the pan
function is operated. This is
particularly effective for lead lines,
or in creating a sense of space by sweeping effect sounds to the left and right.

Part by setting the

There are two pitch-related functions. One changes the
pitch in
units
of a
semitone (Coarse Tune) and the
other
changes
the
pitch in units of 1/100 of a semitone (Fine Tune). These can be used to temporarily change the
tuning or to adjust the pitch
of
the selected Patch relative
to the other Pails. They
can be also used to create a chorus
effect by changing the pitch continuously, or to make special effect sounds. You can even use this instead of the
pitch bender,
by adjusting the Fine Tune control as you play.

We suggest that you
use the above method to change the pitch of
the sound, instead of
using the transpose function
which will be explained later.

In situations
when you have to change the overall pitch of the JV-80 to
match the tuning of other
instruments,
set the
Tune parameter of the system common parameters.
