For the one insert effect and the two master effects,
you can choose from 89 effect types. The master
EQ is a stereo three-band EQ.
ARPEGGIATOR
A program can use one arpeggiator. You can select
an arpeggio pattern, specify the range in which
the arpeggio will be generated, and specify the
range of notes (keys) and velocities that will trig-
ger the arpeggiator.
Overview of editing pages
In the PROG 0: Play page you can select and play
programs, and use the performance editor or real-
time controllers to make simple edits to the sound.
You can also adjust the arpeggiator settings.
The other pages let you modify the sound in more
detailed ways.
For details on how to access each mode, page, and
the utility commands, and how to edit values, see
“Basic operations” (
☞p.19).
Comparing (original and edited
sounds)
When you’re in the process of editing a sound,
pressing the [COMPARE] button will recall the
saved version of the sound, as it was before you
started editing. To indicate that you are listening
to the saved version, the button’s LED will light
up.
Pressing [COMPARE] button again returns you to
the version you are editing, and the LED will go
out again.
If you edit while the COMPARE LED is lit, the
button will again go dark and your previous edits
will be lost.
Basic oscillator settings
Program type setting (single, dou-
ble, drum kit)
Here you can specify the type of program
(whether to use one oscillator, two oscillators, or a
drum kit). Use the PROG 1: Ed–Basic, Prog Basic
“Oscillator Mode” to specify the program type.
Single Programs have one oscillator, and Double
Programs have two oscillators. Each oscillator
includes a complete synthesis voice, with velocity-
switched Multisamples, dual filters, EGs, LFOs,
and so on.
Drums mode is a special variation of Single mode,
and uses a Drum Kit (as created in Global mode)
instead of Multisamples.
Polyphony
Polyphony is the number of notes that can be
played simultaneously, such as in a chord. The
polyphony depends on the program type.
