About the Timbre Type Tones that are selected by each Instrument part have an attribute that
depends on the sound source operation type. This attribute is called the “timbre type,” which is one of
the types described below.
• Melody
This timbre type optimizes for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/off operations.
• Piano
This Timbre Type is for piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded is seamlessly
altered in accordance with the depressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing
sound in response to the note messages also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and
operation is optimized for piano.
• LMPiano
This Timbre Type is for Linear Morphing piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded
and Damper Resonance effect characteristics are seamlessly altered in accordance with the de-
pressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages
also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
• Drum
This setting optimizes for drum sounds. The damper pedal does not function. The Damper Pedal
(Sustain), Channel Coarse Tune, and Master Coarse Tune messages are ignored if they are received.
