Basics Section Quick Guide Numeric keypad, [ENTER] button You can specify the value for the selected parameter by using the numeric keypad, then actually set that value by pressing the [ENTER] button. For example, to set a value of "100," press (in order) the numeric keypad buttons [1], [0], and [0]. (The parameter indicator flashes.) Finally, press the [ENTER] button to set the value. 7 8 9 PIANO ORGAN GUITAR 4 5 6 BASS STRINGS BRASS 1 2 3 REED/PIPE SYN LEAD SYN PAD 0 - ENTER SYN COMP CHROMATIC KEYBOARD PERCUSSION PAGE PART ELEM KEY 100 The displayed value flashes.

Some parameters require you to directly enter numerical settings or alphabetic characters. With others, you can choose from a number of available settings. Furthermore, some types of parameters are "absolute" whereas others are "relative." For example, the absolute parameter in the following illustration can be set to either "mono" or "poly." For other absolute parameters such as Volume, the setting can be any value between zero and 127. The Volume setting has a linear, one-to-one relationship with the actual volume, as shown in the graph on the left. However, relative parameters do not follow the same relationship. The graph on the bottom shows the role of the Velocity Offset parameter. The value you have set here, known as an "offset," is added to, or subtracted from, the actual value. With Velocity Offset, the specified offset value is added to, or subtracted from, the actual velocity of the notes you play on the keyboard. Sometimes, these types of relative parameters are set as a percentage. 28 Basic Operations Total Vol PAGE PART ELEM KEY 2 E 127 VelSnsOfs PAGE PART ELEM KEY 4 E 064 Mono/Poly PAGE PART ELEM KEY 3 E poly 1.
