Voices Editable Parameters in the Voice Edit display Common Volume Adjusts the volume of the currently edited Voice. Touch Sensitiv- Depth ity Offset Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. Touch Sensitivity Depth Changes to velocity curve according to Velocity Depth (with Offset set to 64) Touch Sensitivity Offset Changes to velocity curve according to Velocity Actual Velocity for tone generator 127 Depth = 127 (twice) Actual Velocity for tone generator Offset = 96 (+64) Offset = 127 (+127) 127 Depth = 64 (normal) Offset = 64 (normal) 2 64 64 Depends Depth = 32 (half) on offset Offset = 32 (-64) Depth = 0 0 64 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) 0 Depends 64 on offset 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Offset = 0 (-127) Part Octave Mono Right Left Mono/Poly Mono Type Portamento Time • 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 1-3 parts, the Right 1/Right 2/Right 3 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. Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar, when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to "Mono" above. • Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped. • Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only the pitch changes to that of the next note. • Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played note to the next note. NOTE • This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves the same as the "Normal" setting when these Voices are selected. • When Legato or Crossfade is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from Normal, depending on the panel settings. Determines the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to "Mono" above. NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual 47

Editable Parameters in the Voice Edit display
Common
Volume
Adjusts the volume of the currently edited Voice.
Touch Sensitiv-
ity
Depth
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.
Offset
Part Octave
Right
Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is
used as any of the Right 1–3 parts, the Right 1/Right 2/Right 3 parameter is available; when
the edited Voice is used as the Left part, the Left parameter is available.
Left
Mono
Mono/Poly
Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically.
Mono Type
Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar, when they are
played with legato with the edited Voice set to “Mono” above.
•
Normal:
The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.
•
Legato:
The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only the pitch changes
to that of the next note.
•
Crossfade:
The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played note to the next
note.
Portamento
Time
Determines the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to
“Mono” above.

• This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves the same as
the “Normal” setting when these Voices are selected.
• When Legato or Crossfade is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from
Normal, depending on the panel settings.
NOTE
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the
next.
