Voice Mode GEN Other (General Other) There are various parameters for Micro Tuning and for controlling how the generated sound is output. GENíOther) Mode Assign MicroTuning C 1234 poly single 31:Indian s Mode Select monophonic or polyphonic playback. Select whether the Voice is played back monophonically (single notes only) or polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes). t Settings: mono, poly s Assign If you set Key Assign to "single," the doubled playback of the same note is prevented. The synthesizer will terminate a note when the same note is received again. If you select "multi," the synthesizer will consecutively assign each instance of the same received note to a separate channel, making multiple part tone generation possible. t Settings: single, multi s MicroTuning Set the Micro Tuning (tuning system, or temperament) used for the Voice. Normally you would use "Equal Temperament" but there are also 31 other tuning systems available. t Settings: (see the following list) No. Type Key Comments 00 Equal temperament - The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune. 01~12 Pure major C~B This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune. You need to specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in. 13~24 Pure minor A~G# The same as Pure Major, but designed for the minor scale. 25 Werckmeister - Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. 26 Kirnberger - Johan Philipp Kirnberber was also concerned with tempering the scale to allow performances in any key. 27 Vallotti & Young - Francescantonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) divised this adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning in which the first six fifths are lower by the same amount. 28 1/4 shifted - This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents. 29 1/4 tone - Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave. (Play twenty-four notes to move one octave.) 30 1/8 tone - Forty-eight equally spaced notes per octave. (Play forty-eight notes to move one octave.) 31 Indian C~B Usually observed in the Indian music (white keys [C~B] only). Common Quick Edit Various parameters control the sonic properties of the Voice, and many can also be edited using the Sound Control knobs on the front panel of the CS6x. There are four screens. QED Level (Quick Edit Level) QED EffectCtrl (Quick Edit Effect) QED Filter (Quick Edit Filter) QED EG (Quick Edit Envelope Generator) QED Level (Quick Edit Level) These parameters control the output level (volume) and pan position of the Voice. QEDíLevel) Vol C 1234 127 Pan RevSend ChoSend C 127 127 s Vol (Volume) Set the output level of the Voice. t Settings: 0 ~ 127 s Pan Set the stereo pan position of the Voice. You can also adjust this parameter using the [PAN] knob on the front panel of the CS6x. t Settings: L63 (Left) ~ C (Center) ~ R63 (Right) s RevSend (Reverb Send) Set the Send level of the signal sent from Insertion Effect 1/2 (or the bypassed signal) to the Reverb effect. You can also adjust this parameter using the [REVERB] knob on the front panel of the CS6x. t Settings: 0 ~ 127 s ChoSend (Chorus Send) Set the Send level of the signal sent from Insertion Effect 1/2 (or the bypassed signal) to the Chorus effect. You can also adjust this parameter using the [CHORUS] knob on the front panel of the CS6x. t Settings: 0 ~ 127 QED EffectCtrl (Quick Edit Effect) Set the amount of Chorus applied to the entire Voice. QEDíEffectCtrl) C 1234 Chorus +63 s Chorus Set an offset value for the parameters used by each type of Chorus. t Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 81
