Voice Parameters

1-2 Synthesis Parameters
1-2-1 Oscillator
An Oscillator outputs the waveform that determines the basic pitch of an Element and is one
unit of the tone generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument.
You can:
Assign the waveform (or basic sound material) to each Element of a Normal Voice or each
key of a Drum Voice;
Set the note range for the Element (Normal Voice);
Set the Velocity response (Normal Voice);
Set the XA (eXpanded Articulation) parameters.
Element Switch Switches a selected Element On or Off.
Elements for which the Element Switch is switched off will not sound.
XA Control Determines the functioning of the Expanded Articulation (XA) feature of an
Element.
The XA feature is sophisticated tone generator system that allows you to
more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance
techniques. It also provides other unique modes for random and alternate
sound changes as you play.
For each Element, you can set to:
Normal: The Element sounds normally each time you play the note.
Legato: When the Mono/Poly parameter is set to Mono, this Element
will be played in place of the one which is set to "Normal" of the XA
Control parameter when you play the keyboard in legato fashion
(playing the next note of a single-note line or melody before releasing
the previous note).
Key off sound: The Element will sound each time you release the
note.
Wave cycle (for multiple Elements): Each Element sounds
alternately according to its numerical order. In other words, playing
the first note will sound Element 1, the second note Element 2, and
so on.
Wave random (for multiple Elements): Each Element will sound
randomly each time you play the note.
AF 1 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] button is turned
On, the Element will sound.
AF 2 on: When the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [2] button is turned
On, the Element will sound.
All AF off: When both the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1] and [2]
buttons are turned Off, the Element will sound.
To create the desired sound, assign the same Element Group to all
Elements that have the same XA features. See "Element Group".
Element Group Determines the group for XA Control.
The Elements of a group can be called up in sequential order or in random
order. All Elements that have the same type of XA features must have the
same group number.
This setting does not apply when the XA Control parameters of all
Elements are set to Normal.
