Patch Edit
Patch/Sample Mode
Wave
These parameters select the PCM waveform that is to form the basis of the tone, and apply effects to the waveform.
Pitch
These parameters specify the pitch of the waveform, and how your keyboard playing dynamics will affect the pitch envelope (change in pitch
over time).
Parameter
Range Explanation
Wave Group
INT, SRX, PRES,
USER, CARD
Group of the waveform upon which the tone is to be based
INT:
Waveforms stored in internal memory
SRX:
Waveforms stored in a wave expansion board
PRES:
Preset sample waveforms
USER:
User sample waveforms
CARD:
Card sample waveforms
* SRX can be selected only if a wave expansion board is installed.
Wave No. L/MONO 0 (OFF)–693 Waveform upon which the tone is to be based
On the MC-909 you can specify a separate waveform for the L and R channels.
* If you want to use the same waveform for the L and R channels, set the R channel to 0 (OFF).
Wave No. R
Wave Gain -6, 0, +6, +12 dB Waveform gain (amplitude)
The value will change in steps of 6 dB (decibels). An increase of 6 dB will double the gain. If you
want to use the booster to distort the sound, it is effective to set this to the maximum.
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)
FMX creates a complex overtone structure by using a specific waveform to frequency-modulate the selected waveform. This is suitable for cre-
ating extreme sounds or sound effects.
FXM SW
(Wave FXM Switch)
OFF, ON Selects whether FMX will be used (ON) or not (OFF)
FXM Color
(Wave FXM Color)
1–4 Selects how FXM will apply frequency modulation.
Increasing this value will produce a rougher sound. Decreasing this value will produce a more
metallic sound.
FXM Depth
(Wave FXM Depth)
0–16 Depth of frequency modulation applied by FXM
Parameter Value Description
Patch Coarse Tune # -48– +48 Pitch of the entire patch
Specifies the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-4 octaves.
Patch Fine Tune # -50– +50 Pitch of the entire patch
Adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitone upward or
downward.
Tone Coarse Tune -48– +48 Pitch of the tone
Adjusts the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-4 octaves.
Tone Fine Tune -50– +50 Pitch of the tone
Adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitone upward or
downward.
Rnd Pitch Depth
(Tone Random Pitch
Depth)
0–1200 Range of random pitch change that occurs each time a pad is pressed
Set this to 0 if you do not want the pitch to change randomly. This value is set in units of one cent (1/
100th of a semitone).
