Waveform-related settings (Rhythm Wave screen)
Parameter
Value Explanation
Wave Group
INT, EXP
Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the rhythm tone.
INT:
Waveforms stored in internal memory
EXP:
Waveform stored in a Wave Expansion Board (SRX series) installed
in EXP slots.
* It’s not possible to select EXP unless a wave expansion board is inserted
into the corresponding slot.
Wave Bank
A, B
- - -
Selects the wave bank when the wave group is set to “EXP.”
A:
Wave Expansion Board A
B:
Wave Expansion Board B
* When the wave group is set to “INT,” the “- - -” message appears and you
cannot select a wave bank.
* You cannot select a wave bank of a Wave Expansion Board that is not
installed.
Wave No. L (MONO)
1–1401
This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. You can choose a sep-
arate waveform for the SonicCell’s left and right channels.
* For mono tones, assign a waveform to the L channel. No sound will be
heard if a waveform is set for only the R channel.
* In the case of a wave from a wave expansion board, the range (number
of waveforms) will depend on the board you've selected.
Wave No. R
Wave Gain
-6, 0, +6, +12
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB
(decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
Wave Tempo Sync
OFF, ON
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this
to “ON.” This is valid only when a separately sold wave expansion board
is installed, and a waveform that indicates a tempo (BPM) is selected as a
rhythm tone.
If a waveform from a wave expansion board is selected for the tone,
turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter “ON” will cause pitch-related
settings and FXM-related settings to be ignored.
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s been pulled
out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One technique involving the use of
Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a cer-
tain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new song with
that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
FXM Switch
OFF, ON
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply fre-
quency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex
overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
FXM Color
1–4
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation.
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
