Using, Creating and Editing Voices Voice Creating-Voice Set 6 Press the [D] (COMPARE) button to compare the sound of the edited Voice with the unedited Voice. 7 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to save your edited Voice (page 73). The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the "Basic Procedure" on page 99. The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 105), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected. Changes to velocity curve according to Touch sensitivity TOUCH SENSE DEPTH Changes to velocity curve according to VelDepth (with Offset set to 64) Actual Velocity for tone generator COMMON VOLUME TOUCH SENSE PART OCTAVE Depth=127 (twice) Depth=64 (normal) 127 MONO/POLY Depth=32 64 (half) PORTAMENTO TIME Depth=0 0 64 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice. Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. DEPTH Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity). OFFSET Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the actual velocity effect. Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1-2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE CONTROL "MONO" button on the panel (page 53). Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to "MONO" above. n Portamento Time: The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. TOUCH SENSE OFFSET Changes to velocity curve according to VelOffset (with Depth set to 64) Actual Velocity for tone generator Offset=96 (+64) 127 Offset=127 (+127) Offset=64 (normal) Depends on 64 offset Offset=32 (-64) Depends on 0 offset 64 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Offset=0 (-127) CONTROLLER MODULATION The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters. FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 101. AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. 100 PSR-S900/S700 Owner's Manual
