If you specify a card instrument when
there is no sound
ROM card, the following
display
will
appear, but you will be able to set
sound parameters. If you insert the
specified sound
ROM card when playing, the
R
-
8M
will
sound as specified.
NOTE 21<fi 0>
83—SI : ???????
* If you change instrument
assignments, the sound parameters
of that note number
will be
set to the
initial
settings
(a-
see page
78).
Pitch :
- 4800—
+ 4800 cents (in 1 cent
steps)
This adjusts the
pitch of the instrument. As you
increase the
value
of the setting the
pitch
will become higher.
NOTE

* For some instruments, settings
higher than a certain vaiue
may have no effect.

Frequency
When struck near
the bell
When struck

the edge
This adjusts the decay (time over
which the
sound decreases) of the instrument.
As you
increase the value
of the setting the decay will
become longer.
If the instrument allows
you to set the nuance, the
display will show two decay values.
These
specify the decay for each.
Instruments
marked
"
*
"
(kick,
snare, tom, etc.) in the chart
on page 76 allow you to set the
decay
independently for the attack
component (high frequency
component: the value at left)
and the resonance component (low
frequency
component: the value at right).
This allows
you to simulate different
snare tensions
for a snare drum, or the sound
of a
muted tom.
Instruments
marked by
"
* *
"
(hi-hat,
ride cymbal, etc.) in the chart
on page
76
allow you
to set the decay independently
for the sound
component when the cymbal
is
struck
near the
bell (the value at right)
or near the edge (the value
at left).
The
two
decay values give
you control over fine shades
of the tone.
*For some instruments,
decay will not
change beyond a certain value.
For
reverse-type
Instruments (1-62, 1-63,
1-64), decay will have
no effect.
