Creating a Performance

 

Set this parameter to “MONO” when the patch assigned to 

the part is to be played monophonically, or to “POLY” when 

the patch is to be played polyphonically. If you want to use 

 

MONO, POLY, PAT

 

This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is 

assigned.

 

You can add legato when performing monophonically. The 

term “legato” refers to a playing style in which notes are 

smoothly connected to create a flowing feel. This creates a 

smooth transition between notes, which is effective when 

you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off 

techniques used by a guitarist.

Turn this parameter “ON” when you want to use the Legato 

feature and “OFF” when you don’t. If you want to use the 

 

OFF, ON, PAT

 

This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is 

assigned.

 

Specify whether portamento will be applied. Turn this 

parameter “ON” when you want to apply Portamento and 

“OFF” when you don’t. If you want to use the Portamento 

this to “PAT.”

 

OFF, ON, PAT

 

This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is 

assigned.

 

When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which 

the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch 

change to the next note to take more time. If you want to use 

the Portamento Time setting of the patch assigned to the 

 

0–127, PAT

 

This setting is ignored for parts to which a rhythm set is 

assigned.

 

For each part, adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which the 

pitch is modulated). The pitch will be modulated more 

rapidly for higher settings, and more slowly with lower 

settings.

 

-64– +63

 

For each part, this adjusts the depth of the vibrato effect (the 

depth at which the pitch is modulated). The pitch will be 

modulated more greatly for higher settings, and less with 

lower settings.

 

-64– +63

 

For each part, this adjusts the time delay until the vibrato 

(pitch modulation) effect begins. Higher settings will 

produce a longer delay time before vibrato begins, while 

lower settings produce a shorter time.

 

-64– +63
