Selecting and Creating Tones

Description

“OSC” is an abbreviation of “oscillator”, which is where a sound is actually produced. These two

synth OSC blocks creates sound using a sine wave, sawtooth wave, or other base waveform,

just like an analog synthesizer.

• Synth OSC: Generates the base sound and determines the pitch.

• Filter: Cuts some of the frequencies to adjust timbre.

• Amp: Adjusts volume.

(1) Synthesizer OSC1 Block

• Three EG (envelope generators):

Control changes in pitch, timbre, volume, and other parameters over time.

those for the OSC blocks above, see “Editable Parameters of Blocks (1) through (6)” (page

E-24).

(3) PCM OSC1 Block

(4) PCM OSC2 Block

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on sound input through the

(5) External Input Sound Block

^{Synthesizer’s}ck ^{MIC IN and INST IN jacks. The pitch change range of sound produced by}

this block is limited.

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on noise generated by a special noise

generator. The pitch of sound produced by this block cannot be edited.

(6) Noise Block

(7) Total Block

This block combines signals (1) through (6) and sends the completed tone to the filters and

DSP (a type of effect).

“LFO” is an abbreviation of “low-frequency oscillator”. The LFOs send waveform information to

each block that is used as the basis for modulation, tremolo and other reverb effects.

(8) LFO1 Block

(9) LFO2 Block

Controllers include the keyboard, bender, and other controllers, as well as MIDI messages.

Control messages are sent to blocks (1) through (9) to control tones.

A virtual controller function can be used to freely configure combinations of controller types

(sources) and the parameters being controlled (destinations) to perform such actions as “pedal

depressed, change volume”.

Using the Step Sequencer

The Step Sequencer provides up to 16 steps. The Synthesizer’s sliders can be used to control step notes and velocity in real time.

The Step Sequencer is not just a rhythm machine, it makes it possible for you to compose music as you play on the keyboard.

You can edit each step of a preset sequence to create your own rhythm pattern and save the result as a user sequence.

• The Step Sequencer has 100 preset sequences. You also can store up to 100 of your own user sequences.

• There are two ways to edit a step: simple editing without using the editing screen, and the editing screen that provides more

detailed modification of a step.

• Wheel (bender, modulation) and knob operations can also be recorded as part of a sequence.

• Up to 99 different patterns can be chained together with the Step Sequencer and played back as a loop. You can store up to 100

chained sequences.

• Phrase Sequencer playback can be started from the Step Sequencer.

How the Step Sequencer is organized

The following describes the configuration of a single sequence.

• A part (PART) consists of nine note parts (Drum 1 to 5, Bass, Solo 1 and 2, Chord) and four control parts.

• The control parts can be configured with pitch bends/control changes and Phrase Sequencer play triggers (that start and stop

playback).

• For details about the settings and other information about each part, see “Editing a Sequence - Advanced” on page E-55.

• Each sequence has eight different patterns. You can configure separate beat (Beat Info) for each of the eight patterns.

• A track consists of data 16 steps along with their track parameters.

• You can use the Synthesizer’s mixer function to change Step Sequencer tones. For details, see “Using the Mixer” on page E-67.

Using a Memory Card

Card and Card Slot Precautions

Loading and Removing a Memory

Card

• Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the

documentation that comes with the memory card.

• Memory cards have a write-protect switch. Use it when you

want to protect the data on the card from accidental

deletion.

• Avoid using a memory card under the following conditions.

Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory

card.

• A memory card must be positioned correctly when

being loaded into the Synthesizer. Trying to force an

improperly oriented memory card into the slot can

damage the memory card and the slot.

– Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or

corrosive gas.

– Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital

noise.

• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it

or removing it from the Synthesizer.

1. With the top of the memory card facing

upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert it

^{into the Synthesizer’s SD card slot (}bt^{) until}

stops with a click.

• The message “Please Wait” will remain on the display while

a data save operation is in progress. Do not perform any

other operation while it is displayed.

Turning off the Synthesizer or removing the memory card

can cause Synthesizer data to be deleted or become

corrupted. It also can cause the Synthesizer to fail to turn

^{on when}6 ^{POWER is pressed. If this happens, refer to}

“Troubleshooting” (page E-82).

• If the message “No Card” appears on the display, it means

there is no memory card in the card slot. For details about

what appears on the display while a card is loaded, see

“Playing a Music File from a Memory Card” (page E-78).

• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card

slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory card

to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Synthesizer. If

this happens, turn the Synthesizer off and then back on

again.

Top

2. To remove the memory card first press it into

the slot further.

• This will cause the memory card to disengage and eject

partially. Pull the memory card the rest of the way out of

the slot.

• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use

in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

DSP Effect List

DSP Type List

■ Normal DSP Types

• Type numbers 01 through 14 are single type DSPs, while numbers 15 through 46 are dual type DSPs. A single type DSP is one

with a single structure, while a dual type is a combination of two single type DSPs.

• The name of a dual DSP is formed by its two constituent single DSP names, in the order that they are applied. For example, type

15 named “Wah-Compressor” connects in line to “Wah” and “Compressor”, in that sequence.

7 :Slow Rate (0 to 127)

Adjusts the speaker rotation speed in the slow speed

mode.

8 :Fast Rate (0 to 127)

10: Delay

Delays the input signal and feeds it back to create a repeating

effect and give sounds more breadth.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

1 :Delay Time (0 to 127) (Param A)

Adjusts the delay time.

2 :Feedback (0 to 127)

Adjusts the repeat of the delay.

3 :Ratio Lch (0 to 127)

Adjusts the speaker rotation speed in the fast speed

mode.

13: Ring Modulator

Multiplies the input signal with an internal oscillator signal to

create a metallic sound.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

1 :OSC Frequency (0 to 127) (Param A)

Sets the reference frequency of the internal oscillator.

Adjusts the delay time of the left channel. This value is a

ratio of the value specified for Delay Time.

4 :Ratio Rch (0 to 127)

2 :LFO Rate (0 to 127)

Adjusts the LFO rate.

Adjusts the delay time of the right channel. This value is a

ratio of the value specified for Delay Time.

3 :LFO Depth (0 to 127) (Param B)

Adjusts the LFO depth.

5 :Wet Level (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (Param B)

Adjusts the level of the delay sound.

4 :Type (1, 2, 3)

6 :Type (1, 2)

1 :Outputs the ring modulated signal only.

Selects the delay type.

1 :Delay repeat determined by Delay Time.

2 :Outputs the ring modulated signal and the input signal.

2 :Delay repeat determined by Delay Time and Ratio L/R.

3 :Outputs a signal with a chorus effect applied to 2 (ring

modulated signal and input signal).

7 :Tempo Sync (Range: Off, 1/4, 1/3, 3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1,

4/3, 3/2, 2)

Adjusts the relationship between tempo and delay time of

the Sequencer.

When Off is selected, the current setting of the Delay Time

parameter is used for the delay time. When any other

setting is selected, the delay time is synced with the

Sequencer beat.

Selecting 1, for example, the delay time is approximately

equal to the length of one beat.

(Delay time is not precisely synced with the beat.)

Important!

When adjusting the delay time and type, certain settings can

result in a switching sound in the delay.

14: Lo-Fi

Applies various types of noise to the input signal to reproduce

a retro Lo-Fi sound.

Includes wow and flutter for rotational fluctuation like that in

tapes and records, a Noise 1 generator that generates

continual FM radio type, and a Noise 2 generator that

generates record play types scratch noise.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

3. Find the same type names in the table under “Normal DSP

Single Type DSP Parameters” on pages E-88 through

E-90, and note the operation and setting ranges of the

items that are the same as those shown in the

“Configurable Parameters” column of the above table.

• In our “Distortion-Wah” example, the left side part of the

name is “Distortion” so we can see in the above table

that “Gain” and “Level” parameters can be configured.

You can find out about the operations and setting ranges

of “Gain” and “Level” by referring to “03: Distortion” on

page E-88.

1 :Wow and Flutter Rate (0 to 127)

Adjusts the wow and flutter rate.

2 :Wow and Flutter Depth (0 to 127)

Adjusts the wow and flutter depth.

3 :Noise1 Level (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (Param A)

Adjusts the level of Noise Generator 1.

4 :Noise2 Level (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (Param B)

Adjusts the level of Noise Generator 2.

5 :Noise2 Density (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Adjusts the frequency of Noise Generator 2.

6 :Bit (0, 1, 2, 3)

4. Next, repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the right side part of

the dual type DSP parameter name.

• The parameter numbers that appear on the parameter

setting screen start from 1, and the number is

incremented for each successive parameter.

The parameter numbers of our “Distortion-Wah” example

would be as shown below.

1: Gain

2: Level

3: LFO Waveform

Distorts the sound. A larger number produces greater

distortion.

4: LFO Rate

5: LFO Depth

Important!

Raising the noise level while a note is not sounding will cause

noise to sound, even if there is no input signal.

• (Param) in the table under step 2 of this procedure are

■ Normal DSP Dual Type DSP Parameters

^{parameters assigned to the}5 ^{8/16 and MASTER sliders}

Dual type DSPs are configured by combining two different

single type DSPs. Use the procedure below to determine what

parameters that can be configured for each dual type DSP,

and the operation, and setting ranges of dual type DSPs.

Example: Type number 29: Distortion-Wah

when Hex Layer tones are selected. The (Param) of the

single type DSP whose name is on the left is assigned the

5 ^{8/16 button, while the single type DSP whose name is}

^{on the right is assigned the}5 ^{MASTER button.}

1. The DSP type name has two parts: a left side part and a

right side part.

2. Find out what parameters you can configure by looking up

the left side part of a dual type DSP in the “Type Name”

column of the table below.
