Creating a Performance[F3 (Pitch)]fig.09-003_50Part Mono/PolySet this parameter to “MONO” when the patch assigned to the partis to be played monophonically, or to “POLY” when the patch is tobe played polyphonically. If you want to use the Mono/Poly settingof the patch assigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”Value: MONO, POLY, PATThis setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set isassigned.Part Legato SwitchFor details on these settings, refer to “Adjusting theParameters of Each Part” (p. 107).Part Octave ShiftAdjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in units of anoctave (+/-3 octaves).Value: -3– +3You can add legato when performing monophonically. The term“legato” refers to a playing style in which notes are smoothlyconnected to create a flowing feel. This creates a smooth transitionbetween notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate thehammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to use the Legato featureand “OFF” when you don’t. If you want to use the Legato Switchsetting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”Value: OFF, ON, PATNote that when a rhythm set is assigned to a part, you cannotmodify the Octave Shift parameter.Part Coarse TuneAdjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in semitone steps(+/-4 octaves).Value: -48– +48Coarse Tune and Octave ShiftThe Coarse Tune and Fine Tune parameters, along with theOctave Shift parameter, can all be seen as doing the same thingto the sound, i.e., changing the pitch of the sound. For example,if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Coarse Tune parameter setto “+12,” the note produced is C5 (one octave above C4). Forexample, if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Octave Shiftparameter set to “+1,” the note produced is C5 (one octaveabove C4).However, internally these function very differently. When theCoarse Tune parameter is set to “+12,” the pitch itself is raisedone octave. On the other hand, when the Octave Shift parameteris set to “+1,” it is the same as pressing the keys one octave up.In other words, use the Coarse Tune parameter when changingthe pitch, and the Octave Shift parameter when you want toshift the entire keyboard, for example, when the number of keysis insufficient.Part Fine TuneThis setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set isassigned.Part Pitch Bend RangeSpecifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (2 octaves) thatwill occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The amount ofchange when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both leftand right sides. If you want to use the Pitch Bend Range setting ofthe patch assigned to the part (p. 67), set this to “PAT.”Value: 0–24, PATPart Portamento SwitchSpecify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this parameter“ON” when you want to apply Portamento and “OFF” when youdon’t. If you want to use the Portamento Switch setting of the patchassigned to the part (p. 77), set this to “PAT.”Value: OFF, ON, PATPart Portamento TimeWhen portamento is used, this specifies the time over which thepitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to thenext note to take more time. If you want to use the Portamento Timesetting of the patch assigned to the part (p. 78), set this to “PAT.”Value: 0–127, PATThis setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set isassigned.Adjusts the pitch of the part’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).Value: -50– +50One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.109
