ZEN-Core Tone Parameter
(Z-Core)
SOUND
Parameter Value Explanation
Level 0–127 Adjusts the overall volume of the tone
Pan L64–0–63R
Species the pan of the tone. “L64” is far left,
“0” is center, and “63R” is far right.
Soft Level Sens 0–100
Species the amount of volume change
that occurs when you operate the soft pedal
(CC#67).
This is eective when specied for piano
sounds.
Priority
This determines how notes will be managed when the maximum
polyphony is exceeded.
LAST
The last-played voices will be given priority,
and currently sounding notes will be turned
o in order, beginning with the rst-played
note.
LOUDEST
The voices with the loudest volume will be
given priority, and currently sounding notes
will be turned o, beginning with the lowest-
volume voice.
Analog Feel 0–127
Applies time-varying change to the pitch
and volume of the tone that is producing
sound, adding a sense of variability. As you
increase this value toward the maximum,
the variability becomes greater, producing
instability.
Mono/Poly
Species whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO). The “MONO” setting is eective when
playing a solo instrument tone such as sax or ute.
MONO Only the last-played note will sound.
POLY
Two or more notes can be played
simultaneously.
Coarse Tune -48–+48 [semitone]
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or
down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
Fine Tune -50–+50 [cent]
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or
down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
Octave Shift -3–+3
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or
down in units of an octave (+/-3 octaves).
Stretch Tune Depth OFF, 1–3
This setting allows you to apply “stretched
tuning” to the tone (Stretched tuning is a
system by which acoustic pianos are normally
tuned, causing the lower range to be lower
and the higher range to be higher than the
mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise
dictate.). With a setting of “OFF,” the tone’s
tuning will be equal temperament. A setting
of “3” will produce the greatest dierence in
the pitch of the low and high ranges.
The diagram shows the pitch change relative
to equal temperament that will occur in the
low and high ranges. This setting will have
a subtle eect on the way in which chords
resonate.

Legato Switch OFF, ON
This is eective when Mono/Poly is set to
MONO and Legato Switch is turned ON. When
you press the next key while still holding
down the previous key (legato performance),
the pitch changes smoothly. The way in
which the change occurs depends on the
Legato Retrigger Interval.
Parameter Value Explanation
Legato Retrigger
Interval
0–12, OFF
When LegatoSwitch is enabled and you play
legato, this species whether retriggering
occurs (0–12) or does not occur (OFF).
If this is o, only the pitch of the currently-
sounding tones changes according to the
pitch of the key.
If this is set to 1–12, retriggering occurs
smoothly when the pitch dierence during
legato performance exceeds the specied
value.
For example, if this is set to 4, and using C4
as the reference pitch, playing notes Db4–
E4 legato will change only the pitch without
retriggering, but playing the F4 note (which
is ve semitones away from C4) legato will
retrigger F4.
When F4 is retriggered at this time, F4 now
becomes the reference pitch.
If this is set to 0, each note is retriggered
every time regardless of the pitch dierence.
For acoustic-type sounds in particular, an
unnatural impression can occur if only the
pitch is changed, so you’ll need to adjust the
Legato Retrigger Interval.
Portamento Switch OFF, ON
Species whether the portamento eect will
be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
* Portamento is an eect which smoothly changes
the pitch from the rst-played key to the next-
played key. By applying portamento when
the Mono/Poly parameter is “MONO,” you can
simulate slide performance techniques on a
violin or similar instrument.
Portamento Mode
Species the performance conditions for which portamento will be
applied.
NORMAL Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO
Applies portamento only when you play
legato (i.e., when you press the next key
before releasing the previous key).
Portamento Type
Species the type of portamento eect.
RATE
The time it takes will depend on the distance
between the two pitches.
TIME The time it takes will be constant
Portamento Start
When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by
portamento, a new pitch change will begin. This setting species the
pitch at which the change will begin.
Pitch
Starts a new portamento when another key is
pressed while the pitch is changing.
NOTE
Portamento will begin from the pitch where
the current change would end.
Portamento Time 0–1023
Species the time taken for the pitch to
change when playing portamento. Higher
settings will cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time.
