Parameters
Part Parameters for Sound Editing
On the SC-8820, you can modify the values of a variety of parameters in order to cre-
ate the sound most suitable for your playing. Sound parameters affect the volume,
timbre and pitch of the sound.
■ The Function of Each Parameter
On the SC-8820, parameter settings are made for each Part. In other words, parame-
ter values belong to Parts, and not to sounds (Instruments). For example, if you set
Vibrato Rate to +20 and then select a different sound for that Part, the Vibrato Rate
of +20 will apply to the newly selected sound (not the initial value of +/-0). In this
way, parameters belonging to Parts are called Part parameters.
Vibrato
Vibrato is an effect created by modulating the pitch. Applying vibrato makes the
sound more expressive.
■ Vib Rate (Vibrato Rate) -64–0–+63
This parameter adjusts the speed (frequency) of the pitch modulation. Positive (+)
settings make the pitch modulation faster, and negative (-) settings make it slower.
■ Vib Depth (Vibrato Depth) -64–0–+63
This parameter adjusts the depth of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make
the pitch modulation deeper, and negative (-) settings make it shallower.
■ Vib Delay (Vibrato Delay) -64–0–+63
This parameter adjusts the time required for the vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+)
settings increase the time before vibrato will begin, and negative (-) settings shorten
the time.
