Key Fade Lower (Keyboard Fade Width Lower)

This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when a

note that’s lower than the tone’s specified keyboard range is

played. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in

volume. If you don’t want the tone to sound at all when a

note below the keyboard range is played, set this parameter

to “0.”

Value:

0–127

Key Range Lower (Keyboard Range Lower)

Specifies the lowest note that the tone will sound for each

tone.

Value:

C-1–UPPER

Key Range Upper (Keyboard Range Upper)

Specifies the highest note that the tone will sound for each

tone.

Value:

LOWER–G9

If you attempt to raise the lower key higher than the

upper key, or to lower the upper key below the lower

key, the other value will be automatically modified to

the same setting.

Booster

The Booster is used to distort the incoming signal.

fig.06-024.e

In addition to using this to create distortion, you can use

the waveform (WG1) of one of the tones as an LFO

which shifts the other waveform (WG2) upward or

downward to create modulation similar to PWM (pulse

width modulation). This parameter works best when

you use it in conjunction with the Wave Gain parameter

(p. 105).

Ring Modulator

A ring modulator multiplies the waveforms of two tones

with each other, generating many new overtones (in

harmonic partials) which were not present in either

waveform. (Unless one of the waveforms is a sine wave,

evenly-spaced frequency components will not usually

be generated.)

As the pitch difference between the two waveforms

changes the harmonic structure, the result will be an

unpitched metallic sound. This function is suitable for

creating metallic sounds such as bells.
