CUTOFF: Determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, or
the frequency point above which other frequencies are cut
off or filtered out. Higher settings result in brighter sounds
and lower settings result in darker sounds.
REZ (Resonance): Sets the amount of filter resonance or
emphasis around the cutoff frequency. Higher settings
produce a higher resonant peak, while lower settings
produce a relatively flat response.
Settings:
Cutoff: -64 ~ +63
Resonance: -64 ~ +63
■ POLY/MONO
This determines whether the voice in each Layer is played
monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically
(up to 64 notes at a time).
Generally, Polyphonic mode is selected to generate multiple
sounds at one time. There are cases, however,where it is
more effective to select Monophonic mode, such as when
using a bass sound, brass sound, or an analog synthesizer
sound.
Settings:
Mono/Poly: mono, poly (also “---” for SFXKT and DRUM)
n You can play up to 64 notes at a time. However, the number of
notes may be reduced or truncated if you use multiple Parts in a
rather complicated song which uses too many notes.
Using Multi Play Mode
• Multi Play mode is especially designed for using the CS2x as
a multitimbral tone generator for an external MIDI
sequencer, and all Part assignment and other settings can be
controlled by MIDI messages as stored in the music data in
the sequencer. To keep from losing any BANK, PROGRAM,
VOLUME, PAN, EFFECT, FILTER, POLY/MONO assignments
and settings you make in Multi Play Edit mode, however, you
must perform a Multi Store operation (page 68) before
switching to Performance mode.
• The Arpeggiator and Scene functions are not available in
Multi Play Mode. They can only be used with the
Performances in Performance mode.

REV SEND (Reverb Send): Determines the send level of the
Reverb effect.
CHO SEND (Chorus Send): Determines the send level of
the Chorus effect.
VARI SEND (Variation Send): Enables or disables the output
of the Variation effect.
Settings:
Rev Send: 0 ~ 127
Cho Send: 0 ~ 127
Var Send: off, on (or 0 ~ 127*)
n *The Variation send parameters are “off” or “on” when the Variation
effect is used as the Insertion effect. They are 0 ~ 127 when used as
the System effect. Normally, the Variation effect works as an
Insertion Effect when not receiving parameter change messages to
switch to System Effect from an external MIDI sequencer. For more
information about Insertion and System effects, see page 70.
■ FILTER
This sets the filter parameters for each Part. There are two
parameters: CUTOFF and REZ (resonance). These
parameters affect the Low Pass Filter (LPF) only.
Generally filters change the timbre by passing signals within
a specific frequency bandwidth and cutting others. Multi
Play mode features a Low Pass Filter (LPF) which passes
signals below the specified frequency point (the “cutoff
frequency”) and cuts off the signals above it.
n Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may
not produce a noticeable effect.
