12. Glossary C D Cent In musical terms a "cent" is 1/100th of a semitone. Channel See "MIDI Channel", page 337. Channel Aftertouch Aftertouch refers to the capability to control some aspect of the sound by varying pressure on the keyboard after notes are played. Two types of aftertouch data are used: polyphonic and channel. Channel aftertouch is aftertouch data in which only one aftertouch value is transmitted for each MIDI channel. In contrast, polyphonic aftertouch produces separate aftertouch values for each note played. Checksum A value used to verify the integrity of multiple blocks of received MIDI data (system exclusive data). The checksum is transmitted at the end of the data. Clock A unit of note resolution. On the RS7000 one clock equals 1/480th of a quarter note. Common Sample Voice Sample voices which are available for use by all songs and styles. Regardless of the number of songs and styles, a maximum of 128 common sample voices can be stored in the RS7000 internal memory. The content and program number/voice relationship of common sample voices does not change when songs or styles are switched. Control Change A type of MIDI messages that is transmitted when a controller (modulation wheel, foot controller etc.) is operated. Each controller has its own control number. Cutoff Frequency Filters work by allowing portions of the signal lower or higher than a given frequency to pass, and cutting the remainder of the signal. This frequency is referred to as the cutoff frequency. Data Entry A type of MIDI control change data (control change number 6) generally used to set RPN-specified parameters. Delay An effect (or device) that delays an audio signal. The RS7000's variation effects include delay effects. Depth The amount or degree to which an effect changes the original sound. Device Number A special MIDI channel used for system exclusive messages. Device numbers 1 through 16 are available, and system exclusive data communication becomes possible when both the transmitting and receiving devices are set to the same number. Digital Filter A filter that works in the digital rather than analog domain. The RS7000 provides digital filters for each voice element, allowing a wide range of tonal control. DIGITAL IN/OUT Connector Coaxial connectors for input and output of digital audio signals. Drum Voice A special type of voice used only for drum or percussion instruments. Each key on the keyboard plays a different drum or percussion instrument. Dry Sound The audio signal that is not processed by an effect. Normally when using an effect, not all of the audio signal is passed through the effect. Rather, the degree of the effect is adjusted by mixing the sound that passes through the effect (the wet sound) with the sound that bypasses the effect (the dry sound). DSP Stands for Digital Signal Processor. Digital signal processors digitally process signals to produce a wide range of effects. The RS7000 includes high-quality DSP capability for the reverb, chorus, and other effects. Appendix RS7000 335
