Creating a Patch
Wave Tempo Sync
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo),
set this to “ON.” This is valid only when a separately sold wave
expansion board is installed, and a waveform that indicates a tempo
(BPM) is selected as the sample for a tone.
Value:
OFF, ON
If a waveform from a wave expansion board is selected for the
tone, turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter “ON” will cause
pitch-related settings and FXM-related settings to be ignored.
If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM
(tempo) parameter of the sample.
If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require
twice the normal number of voices.
When the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is set to “ON,” set the
Delay Time parameter (p. 56) to “0.” With other settings, a delay
effect will be applied, and you will be not be able to play as you
expect.
FXM Switch
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value:
OFF, ON
FXM Color
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher
settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a
more metallic sound.
Value:
1–4
FXM Depth
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
Value:
0–16
Tone Delay Mode
Selects the type of tone delay.
Value
NORM:
The tone begins to play after the time specified in the
Delay Time parameter has elapsed.
fig.06-051.e
HOLD:
Although the tone begins to play after the time specified
in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is
released before the time specified in the Delay Time
parameter has elapsed, the tone is not played.
fig.06-052.e
OFF-N:
Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the
tone begins to play once the period of time specified in
the Delay Time parameter has elapsed after release of
the key. This is effective in situations such as when
simulating noises from guitars and other instruments.

Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
Realtime Time Stretch
If the wave group is “SAMP” or “MSAM,” and the Wave
Tempo Sync parameter is turned “ON,” you can vary the
playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform
to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
