PCM Synth Tone (PCMS)

Parameter Value Explanation
Range Lower
Range Upper
Fade Lower
Fade Upper
Level
Velocity
Velo Fade Upper 0–127
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is played at a velocity greater
than its specied velocity range.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume.
If you want notes played outside the specied key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this
to “0.”
Velo Range Upper LOWER–127
This sets the highest velocity at which the partial will sound. Make these settings when you want
dierent partials to sound in response to notes played at dierent strengths.
Velo Range Lower 1–UPPER
This sets the lowest velocity at which the partial will sound. Make these settings when you want
dierent partial to sound in response to notes played at dierent strengths.
NOTE
If you attempt to set the Lower velocity limit above the Upper, or the Upper below the Lower,
the other value will automatically be adjusted to the same setting.
When using the Matrix Control (p. 58) to have dierent partials played, set the lowest value
(Lower) and highest value (Upper) of the value of the MIDI message used.
Velo Fade Lower 0–127
This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is played at a velocity lower
than its specied velocity range.
Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume.
If you want notes played outside the specied key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this
to “0.”
PMT Control Switch OFF, ON
Use the Matrix Control (p. 58) to enable (ON), or disable (OFF) sounding of dierent partials.
NOTE
You can also cause dierent partials to sound in response to notes played at dierent strengths
(velocity) on the keyboard (p. 48). However, the Matrix Control and the keyboard velocity cannot
be used simultaneously to make dierent partials to sound.
When using the Matrix Control to have dierent partials to sound, set the Velocity Control
parameter (p. 48) to “OFF.”
Pitch tab
Partial Coarse Tune
-48–+48
Adjusts the pitch of the partial’s sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
* You can control this parameter using the Matrix Control.
Partial Fine Tune
-50–+50
Adjusts the pitch of the partial’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
* You can control this parameter using the Matrix Control.
* One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
Random Pitch Depth
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30,
40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000,
1100, 1200
This species the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If
you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to “0.” These values are in units of cents
(1/100th of a semitone).
Pitch Keyfollow -200–+200
This species the amount of pitch change that will occur when you play a key one octave higher
(i.e., 12 keys upward on the keyboard).
If you want the pitch to rise one octave as on a conventional keyboard, set this to “+100.” If you
want the pitch to rise two octaves, set this to “+200.” Conversely, set this to a negative (-) value if
you want the pitch to fall. With a setting of “0,” all keys will produce the same pitch.

Pitch
Pitch Bend Range Up 0–+48
Species the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right.
For example, if this parameter is set to “12,” the pitch will rise one octave when the pitch bend
lever is moved to the right-most position.
