Learning to Play by Playing (For Synthesizer Novices)

This chapter gets you started with basic operations by actually

using the Synthesizer, while avoiding getting too bogged

down in theory and technical details. It is the perfect place to

start for those who are using a synthesizer for the first time.

So, let’s get started!

Press

POWER to turn on power. The Synthesizer initially

enters its Performance Mode.

The Performance Mode is great for tapping to the full power of

the Synthesizer during performances, but it is a bit too

advanced for our basic explanation here. For now, let’s start

out with some basic operations in the Tone Mode.

Press

TONE to enter the Tone Mode.

■ Three Synthesizer Modes

Here, lets select a tone hear what it sounds like.

Tones are divided among eight categories. Use the

buttons to select the category you want.

• For more information, see page E-20.

Description

(1) Synthesizer OSC1 Block

“OSC” is an abbreviation of “oscillator”, which is where a sound is actually produced. These two

synth OSC blocks creates sound using a sine wave, sawtooth wave, or other base waveform,

just like an analog synthesizer.

• Synth OSC: Generates the base sound and determines the pitch.

• Filter: Cuts some of the frequencies to adjust timbre.

• Amp: Adjusts volume.

• Three EG (envelope generators):

Control changes in pitch, timbre, volume, and other parameters over time.

The nearby illustration shows an example of a volume envelope.

(2) Synthesizer OSC2 Block

(3) PCM OSC1 Block

This block creates sound based on PCM sounds (same sound quality as sounds in the PCM

Tone category). For information about show the editable parameters of this block differ from

those for the OSC blocks above, see “Editable Parameters of Blocks (1) through (6)” (page

E-24).

(4) PCM OSC2 Block

(5) External Input Sound Block

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on sound input through the

Synthesizer’s

MIC IN and INST IN jacks. The pitch change range of sound produced by

this block is limited.

(6) Noise Block

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on noise generated by a special noise

generator. The pitch of sound produced by this block cannot be edited.

(7) Total Block

This block combines signals (1) through (6) and sends the completed tone to the filters and

DSP (a type of effect).

(8) LFO1 Block

“LFO” is an abbreviation of “low-frequency oscillator”. The LFOs send waveform information to

each block that is used as the basis for modulation, tremolo and other reverb effects.

(9) LFO2 Block

(10) Controllers

Controllers include the keyboard, bender, and other controllers, as well as MIDI messages.

Control messages are sent to blocks (1) through (9) to control tones.

A virtual controller function can be used to freely configure combinations of controller types

(sources) and the parameters being controlled (destinations) to perform such actions as “pedal

depressed, change volume”.

You can use a pedal, the bender, or other devices, to instantly

change the pitch and volume of notes, the envelope, and

other parameters as you perform.

A pedal operation can be used to sustain notes, arpeggios

(page E-40), or phrases (page E-44), or to apply a soft effect.

• For information about connecting a pedal, see page E-8.

• You can specify the effect applied by a pedal operation by

performing the following operation on the performance

editing list: Controller >Ent 3 Pedal. See page E-65 for

more information.

The

BENDER wheel can be use to seamlessly raise or

lower the pitch of a sound, while the

MODULATION wheel

adds vibrato (modulation effect) to the sound.

• Do not have a wheel rotated as you turn on Synthesizer

power.

• You can control the bend range of the

BENDER wheel

by configuring the following settings on the performance

editing list: BendRngDwn, BendRngUp (page E-64).

Using the Step Sequencer

The Step Sequencer provides up to 16 steps. The Synthesizer’s sliders can be used to control step notes and velocity in real time.

The Step Sequencer is not just a rhythm machine, it makes it possible for you to compose music as you play on the keyboard.

You can edit each step of a preset sequence to create your own rhythm pattern and save the result as a user sequence.

• The Step Sequencer has 100 preset sequences. You also can store up to 100 of your own user sequences.

• There are two ways to edit a step: simple editing without using the editing screen, and the editing screen that provides more

detailed modification of a step.

• Wheel (bender, modulation) and knob operations can also be recorded as part of a sequence.

• Up to 99 different patterns can be chained together with the Step Sequencer and played back as a loop. You can store up to 100

chained sequences.

• Phrase Sequencer playback can be started from the Step Sequencer.

The following describes the configuration of a single sequence.

• A part (PART) consists of nine note parts (Drum 1 to 5, Bass, Solo 1 and 2, Chord) and four control parts.

• The control parts can be configured with pitch bends/control changes and Phrase Sequencer play triggers (that start and stop

playback).

• For details about the settings and other information about each part, see “Editing a Sequence - Advanced” on page E-55.

• Each sequence has eight different patterns. You can configure separate beat (Beat Info) for each of the eight patterns.

• A track consists of data 16 steps along with their track parameters.

• You can use the Synthesizer’s mixer function to change Step Sequencer tones. For details, see “Using the Mixer” on page E-67.

Using a Memory Card

E-74

• Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the

documentation that comes with the memory card.

• Memory cards have a write-protect switch. Use it when you

want to protect the data on the card from accidental

deletion.

• Avoid using a memory card under the following conditions.

Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory

card.

– Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or

corrosive gas.

– Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital

noise.

• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it

or removing it from the Synthesizer.

• The message “Please Wait” will remain on the display while

a data save operation is in progress. Do not perform any

other operation while it is displayed.

Turning off the Synthesizer or removing the memory card

can cause Synthesizer data to be deleted or become

corrupted. It also can cause the Synthesizer to fail to turn

on when

POWER is pressed. If this happens, refer to

“Troubleshooting” (page E-82).

• If the message “No Card” appears on the display, it means

there is no memory card in the card slot. For details about

what appears on the display while a card is loaded, see

“Playing a Music File from a Memory Card” (page E-78).

• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card

slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory card

to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Synthesizer. If

this happens, turn the Synthesizer off and then back on

again.

• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use

in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• A memory card must be positioned correctly when

being loaded into the Synthesizer. Trying to force an

improperly oriented memory card into the slot can

damage the memory card and the slot.

With the top of the memory card facing

upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert it

into the Synthesizer’s SD card slot (

) until

stops with a click.

To remove the memory card first press it into

the slot further.

• This will cause the memory card to disengage and eject

partially. Pull the memory card the rest of the way out of

the slot.

I can’t find something that should be

included with the product.

Carefully check inside all of the packing materials.

Power Requirements

Power will not turn on. • Check the AC adaptor or make sure that the batteries are facing correctly (page

E-9).

• Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page

E-9).

The display lights up momentarily but

power does not turn on when I press

POWER.

Press

POWER firmly and completely to turn on power.

The Synthesizer outputs a loud sound and

then suddenly powers down.

Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page

E-9).

The Synthesizer suddenly powers down

after a few minutes.

This happens when Auto Power Off (page E-10) is triggered.

Display

The display keeps going out or is flashing. Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page

E-9).

Screen contents are visible only from

straight ahead.

This is due to production limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

Sound

Nothing happens when I press any

keyboard key.

• Adjust the main volume setting (page E-12).

• This Synthesizer does not have built-in speakers. It will no produce unless you

connect some device for sound output (page E-8).

No sound is produced when a start the

Step Sequencer.

When the arpeggio function is being triggered by start of the Step Sequencer, the

sequence will not start until you play something on the keyboard.

Notes keep sounding, without stopping. Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page

E-9).

Some notes are cut off while they are

playing.

Notes are cut off whenever the number of notes being sounded exceeds the

maximum polyphony value of 64 (1 to 32 for some tones). This does not indicate

malfunction.

The volume or tone setting I configured

has changed.

• Adjust the main volume setting (page E-12).

• Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page

E-9).

Output volume does not change even

though I change my keyboard pressure.

Change the Touch setting (page E-65).

■ Normal DSP Types

• Type numbers 01 through 14 are single type DSPs, while numbers 15 through 46 are dual type DSPs. A single type DSP is one

with a single structure, while a dual type is a combination of two single type DSPs.

• The name of a dual DSP is formed by its two constituent single DSP names, in the order that they are applied. For example, type

15 named “Wah-Compressor” connects in line to “Wah” and “Compressor”, in that sequence.

• For details about parameters that can be configured with each DSP type, refer to the sections shown in the table below.

■ Solo Synthesizer DSP Types

• For information about the parameters whose settings can be configured for each DSP type, see “Solo Synthesizer DSP

Parameters” (page E-90).

■ Normal DSP Single Type DSP Parameters

• (Param A) and (Param B) are parameters assigned to the

8/16 and MASTER sliders when Hex Layer tones are

selected.

01: Wah

This is a “wah” effect that can automatically affect the

frequency using an LFO.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

1 :Resonance (0 to 127) (Param B)

Adjusts the strength of resonance.

2 :Manual (0 to 127) (Param A)

Adjusts the wah filter reference frequency.

3 :LFO Rate (0 to 127)

Adjusts the LFO rate.

delays compressor operation, which causes the attack of

the input signal to be output as-is.

2 :Release (0 to 127)

Adjusts the time from the point the input signal drops

below a certain level until the compression operation is

stopped. When an attack feeling is desired (no

compression at the onset of sound), set this parameter to

as low a value as possible. To have compression applied

at all times, set a high value.

3 :Level (0 to 127) (Param B)

Adjusts the output level.

4 :Threshold (0 to 127) (Param A)

Adjusts the volume level at which the compression

operation starts.

7 :Tempo Sync (Range: Off, 1/4, 1/3, 3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1,

4/3, 3/2, 2)

Adjusts the relationship between tempo and delay time of

the Sequencer.

When Off is selected, the current setting of the Delay Time

parameter is used for the delay time. When any other

setting is selected, the delay time is synced with the

Sequencer beat.

Selecting 1, for example, the delay time is approximately

equal to the length of one beat.

(Delay time is not precisely synced with the beat.)

Important!

When adjusting the delay time and type, certain settings can

result in a switching sound in the delay.

create a metallic sound.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

1 :OSC Frequency (0 to 127) (Param A)

Sets the reference frequency of the internal oscillator.

2 :LFO Rate (0 to 127)

Adjusts the LFO rate.

3 :LFO Depth (0 to 127) (Param B)

Adjusts the LFO depth.

4 :Type (1, 2, 3)

distortion.

Important!

Raising the noise level while a note is not sounding will cause

noise to sound, even if there is no input signal.

■ Normal DSP Dual Type DSP Parameters

Dual type DSPs are configured by combining two different

single type DSPs. Use the procedure below to determine what

parameters that can be configured for each dual type DSP,

and the operation, and setting ranges of dual type DSPs.

Example: Type number 29: Distortion-Wah

1. The DSP type name has two parts: a left side part and a

right side part.

Distortion-Wah 3 “Distortion” and “Wah”

2. Find out what parameters you can configure by looking up

the left side part of a dual type DSP in the “Type Name”

column of the table below.

3. Find the same type names in the table under “Normal DSP

Single Type DSP Parameters” on pages E-88 through

E-90, and note the operation and setting ranges of the

items that are the same as those shown in the

“Configurable Parameters” column of the above table.

4. Next, repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the right side part of

the dual type DSP parameter name.

• (Param) in the table under step 2 of this procedure are

parameters assigned to the

8/16 and MASTER sliders

when Hex Layer tones are selected. The (Param) of the

single type DSP whose name is on the left is assigned the

8/16 button, while the single type DSP whose name is

on the right is assigned the

MASTER button.

■ Solo Synthesizer DSP Parameters

• (Param A) and (Param B) are parameters assigned to the

8/16 and MASTER sliders when Solo Synthesizer

tones are selected.
