Assigning another Tone to a Keyboard part resets the 
TONE EDIT parameters. 

Note: All TONE EDIT parameters are relative parameters whose 
values are added to or subtracted from the preset sound parame-
ter values. That is why you can specify both positive (“more”) and 
negative (“less”) values.

Note: The TONE EDIT settings can be saved to a User Program.

(1) Press the [MENU] button.

(2) Press the [TONE¥EDIT] field.

(3) Press the field of the Keyboard part you wish to 

edit.

Note: Rather than performing steps (1)~(3), you could also 
press and hold the corresponding TONE ASSIGN button.

(4) To quickly reset all parameters, press the 

[INIT¥ALL¥VALUES] field.

(5) To reset only the selected parameter, press the 

[INIT¥SINGLE¥VALUE] field.

(6) To edit one of the displayed parameters, press its 

field.
Its “display” is now surrounded by a red frame.

(7) Set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or 

the [DEC]/[INC] buttons. You can also use the 
assignable sliders below the display to directly edit 
the parameters above them.

Here are the parameters you can edit:

■C1

The function of this parameter depends on the sound 
you assigned to the selected part. It may influence 
the filter and resonance setting, switch between the 
organ samples with the fast and slow Rotary modu-
lation (TONE [ORGAN] sounds), etc. Here’s an exam-
ple: select the “B3 Sermon” sound on page 1 of the 
[ORGAN] bank and use this function.

Note: The C1 parameter is only available for Tones that are 
flagged with a tick in the “Parameter Reference” booklet.

If you are working with a sound of an optional SRX-
series expansion board you installed, this parameter 
may affect other aspects. We therefore suggest you 
experiment with the parameter to find out how it 
affects the sound.

■Modulation (Vibrato)

Vibrato is an effect created by modulating the pitch. 
Pitch modulation adds a pleasant “wobble” to the 
notes you play. Use the following three parameters if 
you think the part in question has too much (or could 
use a little more) vibrato.

Note: Some sounds already contain natural (sampled) vibrato 
whose depth or speed cannot be changed.

● DELAY [–64~63]—This parameter adjusts the time 

required for the vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+) set-
tings increase the time before vibrato will begin and 
negative settings shorten the time.

● DEPTH [-64~63]—This parameter adjusts the intensity 

of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings mean that 
the “wobble” becomes more prominent, while negative 
(–) settings make it shallower.

● RATE [-64~63]—This parameter adjusts the speed of the 

pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make the preset 
pitch modulation faster and negative (–) settings make it 
slower.

■TVF/TVA ENV(elope)

The volume of an instrument changes over time, 
from the moment the note begins to sound to when 
it disappears. This change can be indicated on a 
graph as shown in the display. The envelope shape is 
unique to each instrument and is an important ele-
ment in how we distinguish the sounds we hear. The 
envelopes of musical instrument sounds can change 
depending on how the instrument is played. For 
example if a trumpet is played sharply and strongly, 
the attack will be quick and the sound will be sharp. 
But if a trumpet is played lightly and softly, the 
attack will be softer. In order to adjust the attack of a 
sound, you can modify the ATTACK parameter of the 
envelope.

The parameters discussed here only apply to the fol-
lowing Keyboard parts: Upper1, Upper2, Upper3, 
Lower1, Lower2, M.Bass. Be sure to select the part you 
wish to change before actually editing it. 

The Harmonic Bar section cannot be edited here (see 
page 33 for how to do that).
