Parameter
Value Explanation
Ctg
(Category)
refer to “Patch
Category” (p. 63)
Specifies the type (category) of the patch.
Level 0–127
Specifies the volume of the Patch.
* You can specify the level of each Tone in a Patch using the Tone Level (TVA p. 105).
Pan L64–63R
Sets the stereo position of the Patch. L64 pans the Patch all the way to the left, 0 is center
and 63R pans it hard right.
* You can specify the pan setting for each Tone in a Patch using the Tone Pan (TVA p. 106).
* While each Tone in a Patch has its own Pan position, the Patch pan setting shifts the entire
Patch—including all of its Tones—leftward or rightward
Priority LAST, LOUDEST
This determines how notes will be managed when the maximum polyphony is exceeded
(128 voices).
LAST: The last-played voices will be given priority, and currently sounding notes
will be turned off in order, beginning with the first-played note.
LOUDEST: The voices with the loudest volume will be given priority, and currently
sounding notes will be turned off, beginning with the lowest-volume voice.
Octave Shift -3–+3
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in units of an octave (+/-3 octaves).
Coarse Tune -48–+48
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
Fine Tune ★ -50–+50
Adjusts the pitch of the patch’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
★ You can use matrix control to modify this. (p. 95)
Strech Tune
(Strech Tune
Depth)
OFF, 1–3
This setting allows you to apply “stretched tuning” to the patch. (Stretched tuning is a system
by which acoustic pianos are normally tuned, causing the lower range to be lower and the
higher range to be higher than the mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise dictate.) With
a setting of “OFF,” the patch’s tuning will be equal temperament. A setting of “3” will pro-
duce the greatest difference in the pitch of the low and high ranges.
The diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal temperament that will occur in the low
and high ranges. This setting will have a subtle effect on the way in which chords resonate.
Analog Feel
(Analog Feel
Depth)
0–127
Specifies the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the patch. (1/f modulation is
a pleasant and naturally-occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook or
rustling wind.)
By adding this “1/f modulation,” you can simulate the natural instability characteristic of an
analog synthesizer.
Cutoff Offset -63–+63
Cutoff Offset alters the cutoff frequency of the overall patch, while preserving the relative
differences between the cutoff frequency values set for each tone in the Cutoff Frequency (p.
102).
This value is added to the cutoff frequency value of a tone, so if the cutoff frequency value
of any tone is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce
any change.
