Using the SonicCell in Patch Mode
Resonance
Offset
-63–+63
Resonance Offset alters the resonance of the overall patch, while preserving the relative dif-
ferences between the resonance values set for each tone in the Resonance (p. 103).
*
Resonance:
emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding char-
acter to the sound.
This value is added to the resonance value of a tone, so if the resonance value of any tone
is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any change.
Attack Offset
(Attack Time
Offset)
-63–+63
Attack Offset alters the attack time of the overall patch, while preserving the relative differ-
ences between the attack time values set for each tone in the A-Env Time 1 (p. 107), F-Env
Time 1 (p. 105).
*
Attack Time:
The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum volume after the key is
pressed and sound begun.
This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so if the attack time value of any
tone is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any
change.
Release Offset
(Release Time
Offset)
-63–+63
Release Offset alters the release time of the overall patch, while preserving the relative dif-
ferences between the release time values set for each tone in the A-Env Time 4 (p. 107), F-
Env Time 4 (p. 105).
*
Release Time:
The time from when you take your finger off the key until the sound disappears.
This value is added to the release time value of a tone, so if the release time value of any
tone is already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce any
change.
Velocity Sens
(Velocity Sensi-
tivity Offset)
-63–+63
Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall patch while preserving
the relative differences between the Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone in the param-
eters below.
Cutoff V-Sens (p. 103)
Level V-Sens (p. 105)
*
Velocity:
Pressure with which the key is pressed.
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so if the velocity sensitivity
value of any tone is already set to “+63” (maximum), positive “+” settings here will not
produce any change.
Mono/Poly
MONO, POLY
Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).
The “MONO” setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.
MONO:
Only the last-played note will sound.
POLY:
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch
OFF, ON
This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch will
be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parame-
ter is set to “MONO.” With the Legato Switch “ON,”
pressing a key while continuing to press a previous
key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the
most recently pressed key, sounding all the while.
This creates a smooth transition between notes, which
is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-
on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
Let’s say you have the Legato
Switch set to “ON,” and the
Legato Retrigger set to “OFF.”
When you try to sound a legato
(by pressing a higher key while a
lower key is held down), the pitch
may sometimes not be able to rise
all the way to the intended pitch
(stopping instead at an
intermediate pitch). This can occur
because the limit of pitch rise, as
determined at the wave level, has
been exceeded.
Additionally, if differing upper
pitch limits are used for the waves
of a Patch that uses multiple tones,
it may stop being heard in MONO.
When making large pitch changes,
set the Legato Retrigger to “ON.”
Legato Retriger
(Retrigger)
OFF, ON
The setting determines whether sounds are replayed
(ON) or not (OFF) when performing legato.
The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is
set to “MONO” and the Legato Switch is set to
“ON.” Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
When “OFF,” when one key is held down and anoth-
er key is then pressed, only the pitch changes, without
the attack of the latter key being played. Set this to
“OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or
when using modulation with the mono synth key-
board sound.
