Parameter List
Parameter Value Explanation
Vib Rate
(Vibrato Rate)
ASSIGN
-64–+63
Adjust the vibrato speed (the rate at which
the pitch is modulated).The pitch will be
modulated more rapidly for higher settings,
and more slowly with lower settings.
Vib Depth
(Vibrato Depth)
ASSIGN
-64–+63
This adjusts the depth of the vibrato eect
(the depth at which the pitch is modulated).
The pitch will be modulated more greatly for
higher settings, and less with lower settings.
Vib Delay
(Vibrato Delay)
ASSIGN
-64–+63
Adjusts the time until vibrato (pitch
modulation) starts to apply.
Higher settings will produce a longer delay
time before vibrato begins, while lower
settings produce a shorter time.
Oct Shift
(Octave Shift)
ASSIGN
-3–+3
Shifts the pitch of the keyboard in units of
one octave.
Velo Sens
(Velocity Sens Oset)
-63–+63
Adjusts the velocity sensitivity.
Larger settings raise the sensitivity.
VoiceAsgn
(Voice Assign Mode)
Assign Type sets the way sounds are played when the same key is
pressed a number of times.
SINGLE
The previous note is silenced each time the
same key is played repeatedly.
LIMIT
When the same key is played repeatedly a
certain number of times, the lowest-level
of the notes sounding at the same pitch is
silenced.
FULL
Even when the same key is played repeatedly,
it is sounded within the limits of available
polyphony.
Bend Mode
Species what occurs when you operate a controller such as the
pitch bend lever when pitch bend is assigned to it.
NORMAL The conventional pitch bend eect occurs.
C+L
(CATCH + LAST)
The pitch bend eect applies only to the last-
played note. If a note-on occurs while pitch
bend is already applied, the new note sounds
at the center pitch.
The pitch starts changing only after the
controller passes through the center position.
TONE The tone’s settings are used.
Unison Sw
(Unison Switch)
OFF, ON, TONE
This layers a single sound.
Choose “ON” if you want to use unison, or
“OFF” if you don’t.
Choose TONE” if you want to use the setting
specied by the tone.
Parts whose Unison Switch is On will be
MONO.
SYS-Ctrl1–4
ASSIGN
0–127
Specify the values of SYS-Ctrl 1–4.
By connecting SYS-Ctrl 1–4 with tone
parameters, you can use the knobs to control
values other than part parameters.

OSC
Parameter Value Explanation
OSC Type
Species the oscillator type.
PCM
PCM is used. The wave of the number
specied by the Wave Group and Wave
Number L/R is used.
VA
A numerically calculated analog-modeled
wave is generated. The wave of the number
specied by Waveform is used.
PCM-Sync
The wave of the number specied by PCM-
Sync Wave Number is used.
SuperSAW SuperSAW is used.
Noise White noise is used.
TYPE
(Wave Group Type)
INT
When OSC TYPE is set to PCM, the waveforms
built into the MC-707 are used.
SAMP
When OSC TYPE is set to PCM, waveforms
loaded into the project are used.
Wave Bank A, B, C
Species the bank of the wave group that is
used when OSC Type is PCM.
Wave Number L
Species the wave number within the group
specied by Wave Group.
If using mono, specify only the left side (L). If
using stereo, specify the right side (R) as well.
If using mono, specify only Wave Number L
and leave Wave Number R at 0: OFF.
If you specify only Wave Number R, no sound
is heard.
Wave Number R
Waveform
Species the wave that is used when OSC Type is VA.
SAW Sawtooth wave
SQR Square wave
TRI Triangle wave
SIN sine wave
RAMP Ramp wave
JUNO Modulated sawtooth wave
TRI2 Triangle wave variation
TRI3 Triangle wave variation
SIN2 Sine wave variation
Waveform Invert Sw OFF, ON
If this is ON, the phase of the VA waveform is
inverted.
PCM-Sync Wave No.
Species the wave that is used when OSC Type is PCM-Sync.
The PCM-Sync oscillator is eective when specied as the Slave (the
sync-modulated partial 1 or 3) when Structure is set to SYNC.
Gain -18–+12 [dB]
Species the gain (amplitude) of the
waveform.
The value will change in 6 dB (decibel) steps.
Each 6 dB increase doubles the gain.
Pulse Width 0–127
This eect is produced when the waveform
is deformed by varying the duty cycle of the
pulse width.
It is eective when OSCType is VA, and is also
eective with waveforms other than SQR
(square wave).
* If the value is 64, the pulse width has a 50%:50%
duty cycle.
PWM Depth -63–+63
Species the amount (depth) of LFO applied
to PW (Pulse Width).
PW is modulated according to the LFO2
setting.
SuperSAW Detune 0–127
Adjusts the Detune depth for SuperSAW.
Higher values produce a deeper Detune
eect.
* This is eective only when SuperSAW is selected
as the OSC Type.
Click Type
SOFT, HARD,
NATURAL, OFF
Changes the sense of attack by varying the
position at which the sound starts.
This is available if OSC Type is VA. However,
HARD is eective only when Waveform is TRI,
TRI2, SIN, or SIN2.
