General
Parameter
Value Description
Patch Priority
LAST,
LOUDEST
Specifies what will happen if the maximum polyphony (128 voices) is exceeded
LAST:
Voices played most recently will be given priority, while currently sounding voices will be
successively turned off, beginning with the oldest one.
LOUDEST:
Voices of the loudest volume will be given priority, while currently sounding voices will
be successively turned off, beginning with the one with the lowest volume.
Tone Env Mode
(Tone Envelope
Mode)
NSUS, SUST Specifies how notes will continue to sound while you hold down the pad
NSUS (NO-SUSTAIN):
The sound will decay naturally even if you continue to hold down the pad.
SUST (SUSTAIN):
The sound will be sustained as long as you hold down the pad.
* If you have selected a one-shot waveform, the sound will not be sustained even if you select “SUST.”
Tone Delay
This produces a time delay between the moment a pad is pressed (or released) and the moment the Tone actually begins to sound. Since you can
adjust the timing of each Tone in a Patch, you can create effects in which pressing a single pad produces two or more sounds occurring at dif-
ferent times. If you don’t wish to use Tone Delay, set Tone Delay Mode to NORMAL and Tone Delay Time to 0.
Tone Delay Mode NORM,
HOLD,
OFFN,
OFFD
Specifies how the tone will be sounded
* If you have selected a decay-type waveform (in which the sound disappears naturally even if you do
not release the pad), the sound may not be heard if you set this parameter to OFFN or OFFD.
NORM (NORMAL):
The Tone sounds after the specified Delay Time.
HOLD:
The Tone will only sound if the pad is held for longer than the specified Delay Time. If the
pad is released before the Delay Time has elapsed, the Tone will not sound.
OFFN (KEY-OFF-NORMAL):
The Tone doesn’t sound while the pad is being pressed, but sounds af-
ter the specified Delay Time when the pad is released.
OFFD (KEY-OFF-DECAY):
The Tone doesn’t sound while the pad is being pressed, but sounds after
the specified Delay Time when the pad is released. However, for this setting the TVA envelope of the
Tone begins when the pad is first pressed, and as a result, in most cases, only the decay portion of the
sound is heard.
