■ VOLUME
This sets the volume of the selected Part. Different volume
levels can be set for each Part.
Settings:
Volume: 0 ~ 127
■ PAN
This sets the panning position (the left or right placement in
the stereo spectrum) for each Part. Different pan positions
can be set for each Part (for stereo output).
Settings:
Pan: Random, L63 (far left position) ~ L01, C00 (center position), R01 ~ R63
(far right position)
n When set to “Random”, the panning of each Part will alternate
between left and right when a voice is played.
n Some of the voices are preset and fixed to a panning of “left” in the
lower register and “right” in the higher register. In such a case you
cannot modify the pan setting.
■ EFFECT
This sets the effect send (output) level for each Part. There
are three parameters: REV SEND (Reverb Send level), CHO
SEND (Chorus Send level) and VARI SEND (Variation Send).
You can change the effect send level for each effect in real-
time when playing back XG song data containing effect
settings using an external MIDI device.
n When you press [MULTI] to enter Multi Play mode (reset to XG ON)
each effect will be reset to the default settings: Hall 1 (Reverb),
Chorus 1 (Chorus) and Delay L,C,R (Variation). In this case, the
Reverb send level is set to 64, and the Chorus and Variation send
levels are set to 0.
Depending on the XG song data being played, the effect
types and their parameters used in the song may differ.
Note that the Performance Edit mode EFFECT TYPE
parameters and their settings have no relation to the effect
settings here.
■ PROGRAM
This lets you select a voice, or program, from the currently
selected BANK (see above).
Settings:
(Name): 1 ~ 128 (depending on selected Bank)
n Note that the Program numbers available are 1 ~ 128 and the MIDI
Program Change numbers range from 0 ~ 127. To match the MIDI
Program Change number when switching programs using an
external MIDI device, subtract a value of “1” from the CS2x
Program number you want the MIDI message to select.
n For more information about Banks and Programs (voices), see the
XG Voice List in the separate “Data List” book.
n You can also change the Program number with a single press of a
number (0 ~ 9) of the NUMERIC KEYPAD by using the Quick
Program Change function, just as in Performance mode (page 41).
Normal Voices And Drum Voices
The available voices are divided into two groups: normal voices and
drum voices. In Multi Play mode you can select and play both “normal”
and “drum” voices for the selected Part.
A normal voice is a pitched voice which can be played on a musical
scale from low to high, such as a piano or trumpet. In Multi Play mode
there are 586 XG normal voices.
A drum voice is a complete set of drum and other percussion sounds,
with each sound having a fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned to a
specific MIDI Note number which also corresponds to a key on a MIDI
keyboard. In Multi Play mode there are 20 XG drum voices. For a list of
the drum and percussion sound assignments to each key, see the XG
Drum Voice List in the separate “Data List” book.
TG300B Mode
There are actually two tone generator modes: XG mode and TG300B
mode. Normally the CS2x plays in XG mode. However, it automatically
recognizes which mode to select based on incoming MIDI data, i.e.
through MIDI System Exclusive messages that can be programmed into
music data using an external MIDI sequencer.
In TG300B mode the CS2x will play multitimbral music data created for
TG300B-compatible tone generators. TG300B mode also provides
compatibility with the General MIDI System Level 1 format.
In TG300B mode the CS2x can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 614 normal voices and 10 drum voices.
