Detailed Tone Settings (TONE DESIGNER)
Parameter Value Explanation
Sound Lift 0–127
Lets you change the way that
the sound responds when you
play the keyboard softly. For
example, this can be adjusted
suitably for solo performance,
or to prevent your sound from
being buried in the rest of the
band.
Increasing this value will
allow fairly loud sounds to
be produced even when you
play with a light touch, so that
your performance will not be
obscured by the playing of
your band.
Changing this value does not
aect the way in which the
sound responds to velocity.
Making Detailed Settings for the CLAV Tones
If certain clav tones are selected, the following parameters appear.
* For details on which clav tones this applies to, refer to “Tone List”
(p. 70).
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone Color 0–127
Adjusts an eect that’s suitable
for each sound, such as timbre
or acoustic image.
Pitch Bend
Range
0–24
(semitones)
Sets the amount of pitch
change to occur when you
move the Pitch Bend lever
(maximum two octaves).
Key O
Resonance
0–127
Adjusts resonances such as the
key-o sound (the faint sound
heard when you release a key).
Higher values produce a
louder key-o sound.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no key-o sound at all.
Hum Noise 0–127
Adjusts the amount of hum
and other noise that leaks into
the pickups.
Electric clavichords were
susceptible to various types
of noise, and this noise
would sometimes be output
along with the sounds of the
performance. Depending on
the eect settings, such noises
can produce an authentic,
lively atmosphere.
Lowering this value makes
the sound clearer; raising this
value makes the sound dirtier.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no hum at all.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
Making Detailed Settings for the Other Tones
If you’ve selected a tone other than certain piano, electric piano, or
clav tones, the following parameters appears.
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone Color 0–127
Adjusts an eect that’s suitable
for each sound, such as timbre
or acoustic image.
Mono/Poly
Species whether the tone is to play
polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically
(MONO).
The MONO setting is eective when playing a
solo instrument tone, such as sax or ute.
Additionally, when this is set to “MONO
LEGATO,” you can have monophonic
performances be played legato.
Legato is a playing style in which the spaces
between notes are smoothed, creating a
owing feel with no borders between the
notes. This creates a smooth transition
between notes, which is eective when you
wish to simulate the hammering-on and
pulling-o techniques used by a guitarist.
MONO
Only the last-played note will
sound.
POLY
Two or more notes can be
played simultaneously.
MONO
LEGATO
Legato is applied to
monophonic performances.
Portamento
Switch
ON, OFF
Portamento is a function that
causes the pitch to change
smoothly from one note to the
next note played.
With the Mono/Poly parameter
set to MONO, portamento
is especially eective when
simulating playing techniques
such as violin glissandos.
Portamento
Time
0–127
The Portamento Time setting
determines the time for the
change in pitch when the
portamento eect is applied
to the sound. Higher settings
cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time.
Pitch Bend
Range
0–24
(semitone)
Sets the amount of pitch
change to occur when you
move the Pitch Bend lever
(maximum two octaves).
Attack Time
Oset
-64–+63
The time it takes after the key
is pressed for a sound to reach
full volume.
Higher values produce a milder
attack; lower values produce a
sharper attack.
* With some Tones, the eect
does not work as intended.
