11.1 About Timbre Type
The tone selected by each part of this Instrument has a “Timbre Type” parameter that specifies the type of sound source
for the tone. As explained under “21.1 Basic Parameters”, there are four Timbre Types settings: Melody, LM Piano, Piano,
and Drum. The operation for a received channel message differs according to the Timbre Type.
• Timbre Type: Melody
This Timbre Type is for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/off operations.
• Timbre Type: Piano or LM (Linear Morphing) Piano
This Timbre Type is for piano tones.
The decay rate of the voice being sounded and Acoustic Resonance effect characteristics are continually altered in
accordance with the damper pedal position. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages also
is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
• Timbre Type: Drum
This Timbre Type is for drum sounds. The method for producing sound is optimized for drums. The damper pedal
and sostenuto pedal do not work for sounds that do not recognize Note Off. The tuning setting also does not affect
this Timbre Type.
11.2 DSP Assignments during Tone Selection
11.2.1 DSP Line Structure
Though the Instrument has four DSP lines that can be used simultaneously, selecting a tone that uses DSP causes the
required number of DSP lines to become reserved so the tone is configured with the requisite DSP.
Tones listed under “24.1 Monaural Tone DSP” use only one DSP line, while the tones under “24.2 Stereo Tone DSP” use
two DSP lines.
For information about tones that use DSP, see “23 Tone with DSP List”.
11.2.2 DSP Line Assignment
Selecting multiple tones with DSP at the same time creates the possibility that there will not be enough DSP lines. In this
case, the last selected tone with DSP is given priority. Some DSP line(s) already being used will be released so they can
be assigned to the newly selected tone.
11.2.3 Use of the Same DSP Line by Multiple Parts
When all of the settings below are the same for multiple parts that select tones that use DSP, the same DSP line is assigned
to all of the parts in order to maximize DSP line availability. Note, however, that a DSP cannot be shared simultaneously
between parts A01 through B16, and parts C01 through C16.
• Tone Number
• Part Volume
• Part Pan
• All DSP parameters
After the same DSP line is assigned to different parts as described here, Part Volume, Pan, Reverb Send, Chorus Send,
Acoustic Resonance Send, and all DSP parameter settings are common to all parts. Note that changing the settings on any
part will also affect all of the other parts that are sharing the DSP line.
To assign the parts to a different DSP line, you need to change one of the parameters listed above before selecting the tone.
