Makeup Tools (rhythms and SMF)

While selecting a Tone, you can press a TONE button to select a
dierent family.
Parameter Setting
Tone
or
Drum
The number of Tones depends on the selected family.
Mute (T)/Drum Mute (D )
Switches the selected instrument o. The corresponding part is
no longer played back. (This setting only applies to the selected
instrument and thus not necessarily to the entire track.)
NOTE
In the case of the drums, you can mute two instrument groups
(“Drum Mute” and “Perc Mute, see below) separately.
Parameter Setting
Mute
or
Drum Mute
O, On
Solo
Switches o all instruments except the selected instrument.
Parameter Setting
Solo O, On
Perc Mute (D )
Suppresses (or adds) the percussion sounds used by the drum part.
Parameter Setting
Perc Mute O, On
Volume
Adjusts the volume of the selected instrument. Negative values
decrease the current volume, positive values increase it. (This is a
relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original
setting.)
Parameter Setting
Volume -127~0~+127
Reverb
Use this parameter to set the reverb send level. Negative values
decrease the current reverb send level, positive values increase it.
(This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the
original setting.)
Parameter Setting
Reverb -127~0~+127
Chorus
Use this parameter to set the chorus send level. Negative values
decrease the current chorus send level, positive values increase it.
(This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the
original setting.)
Parameter Setting
Chorus -127~0~+127
Panpot
Use this parameter to change the stereo placement of the selected
instrument. “0” means no change”, negative (–) values shift the
instrument towards the left and positive (+) values shift it towards
the right.
Parameter Setting
Panpot -127~0~+127
NOTE
In the case of Drum Sets, this setting applies to all drum/
percussion instruments. There is also a parameter that can be set
for specic drum instruments (p. 57).
Octave (T)
Use this parameter to transpose the selected instrument up or
down by up to 4 octaves.
Parameter Setting
Octave -4~0~+4
Velocity
This parameter allows you to modify the velocity range of the
instrument in question. “0” means that the recorded velocity values
are left untouched, negative values reduce all velocity values by
the same amount (leaving dierences between notes intact), while
positive settings increase all velocity values.
Parameter Setting
Velocity -127~0~+127
Cut O
This lter parameter allows you to make the selected sound darker
or brighter. Positive settings mean that more overtones are allowed
to pass, so that the sound becomes brighter. The further this value
is set in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will be allowed
to pass and the sound will become softer (darker).
Characteristics of a low-pass lter
Setting
Frequency
Cuto frequency
Parameter Setting
Cut O -127~0~+127
NOTE
For some sounds, positive (+) “Cut O settings will cause no
noticeable change because the preprogrammed “Cut O
parameter is already set to its maximum value.
Resonance
This is a parameter one invariably associates with a synthesizer.
When the “Resonance value is increased, the overtones in the area
of the cuto frequency will be emphasized, creating a sound with a
strong character.
Parameter Setting
Resonance -127~0~+127
