Creating a PatchOFF-N:fig.06-053.eRather than being played while the key is pressed,the tone begins to play once the period of timespecified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsedafter release of the key. This is effective in situationssuch as when simulating noises from guitars andother instruments.Delay timeTone Delay TimeSpecifies the time from when the key is pressed (or if the DelayMode parameter is set to “OFF-N” or “OFF-D,” the time from whenthe key is released) until when the tone will sound.Value: 0–127, NoteTone Delay Time specifies the beat length for the synchronizedtempo when the tempo that specifies the elapsed time until the toneis sounded (Patch Tempo) is synchronized with the tempo set in asequencer.(Example)For a tempo of 120 (120 quarter notes occur in 1 minute (60 seconds))Note onOFF-D:fig.06-054.eNote offRather than being played while the key is pressed,the tone begins to play once the period of timespecified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsedafter release of the key. Here, however, changes inthe TVA Envelope begin while the key is pressed,which in many cases means that only the soundfrom the release portion of the envelope is heard.Delay timeSettingDelay time(half note) 1 second (60 / 60 =1 (second))(quarter note) 0.5 seconds (60 / 120= 0.5 (seconds))(eighth note) 0.25 seconds (60 / 240= 0.25 (seconds))Tone Env Mode (Tone Envelope Mode)When a loop waveform (p. 59) is selected, the sound will normallycontinue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound todecay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to “NOSUS.”Range: NO SUS, SUSTNote on Note offIf you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type sound (i.e.,a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is notreleased), selecting “OFF-N” or “OFF-D” may result in nosound being heard.Tone DelayThis produces a time delay between the moment a key ispressed (or released), and the moment the tone actually beginsto sound. You can also make settings that shift the timing atwhich each tone is sounded. This differs from the Delay in theinternal effects, in that by changing the sound qualities of thedelayed tones and changing the pitch for each tone, you canalso perform arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.You can also synchronize the tone delay time to the tempo ofthe sequencer.If you are not going to use Tone Delay, set the Delay Modeparameter to “NORM” and Delay Time parameter to “0.”• If the Structure parameters set in the range of “2”–”10,” theoutput of tones 1 and 2 will be combined into tone 2, andthe output of tones 3 and 4 will be combined into tone 4.For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, andtone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 63).If a one-shot type Wave (p. 58) is selected, it will not sustaineven if this parameter is set to “SUST.”Tone Rx Bender (Tone Receive Pitch BendSwitch)For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will bereceived (ON), or not (OFF).Value: OFF, ONTone Rx Expression (Tone Receive ExpressionSwitch)For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will bereceived (ON), or not (OFF).Value: OFF, ONTone Rx Hold-1 (Tone Receive Hold Switch)For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will bereceived (ON), or not (OFF).Value: OFF, ONIf “NO SUS” is selected for Env Mode parameter, this settingwill have no effect.79
