Learning to Play by Playing (For Synthesizer Novices)

This chapter gets you started with basic operations by actually using the Synthesizer, while avoiding getting too bogged down in theory and technical details. It is the perfect place to start for those who are using a synthesizer for the first time.

So, let’s get started!

Playing with Built-in Tones

Press 6 POWER to turn on power. The Synthesizer initially enters its Performance Mode.

Description

“OSC” is an abbreviation of “oscillator”, which is where a sound is actually produced. These two synth OSC blocks creates sound using a sine wave, sawtooth wave, or other base waveform, just like an analog synthesizer.

• Synth OSC: Generates the base sound and determines the pitch.

• Filter: Cuts some of the frequencies to adjust timbre.

• Amp: Adjusts volume.

• Three EG (envelope generators): Control changes in pitch, timbre, volume, and other parameters over time. The nearby illustration shows an example of a volume envelope.

This block creates sound based on PCM sounds (same sound quality as sounds in the PCM Tone category). For information about show the editable parameters of this block differ from those for the OSC blocks above, see “Editable Parameters of Blocks (1) through (6)” (page E-24).

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on sound input through the Synthesizer’s this block is limited.

Instead of an oscillator, this block creates sound based on noise generated by a special noise generator. The pitch of sound produced by this block cannot be edited.

This block combines signals (1) through (6) and sends the completed tone to the filters and DSP (a type of effect).

“LFO” is an abbreviation of “low-frequency oscillator”. The LFOs send waveform information to each block that is used as the basis for modulation, tremolo and other reverb effects.

Controllers include the keyboard, bender, and other controllers, as well as MIDI messages. Control messages are sent to blocks (1) through (9) to control tones. A virtual controller function can be used to freely configure combinations of controller types (sources) and the parameters being controlled (destinations) to perform such actions as “pedal depressed, change volume”.

Using the Step Sequencer

9 bl

The Step Sequencer provides up to 16 steps. The Synthesizer’s sliders can be used to control step notes and velocity in real time. The Step Sequencer is not just a rhythm machine, it makes it possible for you to compose music as you play on the keyboard. You can edit each step of a preset sequence to create your own rhythm pattern and save the result as a user sequence.

• The Step Sequencer has 100 preset sequences. You also can store up to 100 of your own user sequences.

• There are two ways to edit a step: simple editing without using the editing screen, and the editing screen that provides more detailed modification of a step.

• Wheel (bender, modulation) and knob operations can also be recorded as part of a sequence.

• Up to 99 different patterns can be chained together with the Step Sequencer and played back as a loop. You can store up to 100 chained sequences.

• Phrase Sequencer playback can be started from the Step Sequencer.

How the Step Sequencer is organized

The following describes the configuration of a single sequence.

• A part (PART) consists of nine note parts (Drum 1 to 5, Bass, Solo 1 and 2, Chord) and four control parts.

• The control parts can be configured with pitch bends/control changes and Phrase Sequencer play triggers (that start and stop playback).

• For details about the settings and other information about each part, see “Editing a Sequence - Advanced” on page E-55.

• Each sequence has eight different patterns. You can configure separate beat (Beat Info) for each of the eight patterns.

• A track consists of data 16 steps along with their track parameters.

• You can use the Synthesizer’s mixer function to change Step Sequencer tones. For details, see “Using the Mixer” on page E-67.

• Avoid using a memory card under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card. – Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or

corrosive gas.

– Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital

noise.

• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it or removing it from the Synthesizer.

• The message “Please Wait” will remain on the display while a data save operation is in progress. Do not perform any other operation while it is displayed. Turning off the Synthesizer or removing the memory card can cause Synthesizer data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also can cause the Synthesizer to fail to turn on when “Troubleshooting” (page E-82).

• If the message “No Card” appears on the display, it means there is no memory card in the card slot. For details about what appears on the display while a card is loaded, see “Playing a Music File from a Memory Card” (page E-78).

• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Synthesizer. If this happens, turn the Synthesizer off and then back on again.

• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

POWER is pressed. If this happens, refer to

Loading and Removing a Memory Card

• A memory card must be positioned correctly when being loaded into the Synthesizer. Trying to force an improperly oriented memory card into the slot can damage the memory card and the slot.

With the top of the memory card facing upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert it into the Synthesizer’s SD card slot ( stops with a click.

To remove the memory card first press it into the slot further.

• This will cause the memory card to disengage and eject partially. Pull the memory card the rest of the way out of the slot.

4/3, 3/2, 2) Adjusts the relationship between tempo and delay time of the Sequencer. When Off is selected, the current setting of the Delay Time parameter is used for the delay time. When any other setting is selected, the delay time is synced with the Sequencer beat. Selecting 1, for example, the delay time is approximately equal to the length of one beat. (Delay time is not precisely synced with the beat.)

Important!

When adjusting the delay time and type, certain settings can result in a switching sound in the delay.

■ Normal DSP Dual Type DSP Parameters

Dual type DSPs are configured by combining two different single type DSPs. Use the procedure below to determine what parameters that can be configured for each dual type DSP, and the operation, and setting ranges of dual type DSPs. Example: Type number 29: Distortion-Wah

1. The DSP type name has two parts: a left side part and a right side part. Distortion-Wah 3 “Distortion” and “Wah”

2. Find out what parameters you can configure by looking up the left side part of a dual type DSP in the “Type Name” column of the table below.

Type Name Configurable Parameters

Wah LFO Waveform

LFO Rate LFO Depth (Param)

Distortion Gain (Param)

Level

Chorus LFO Waveform

LFO Rate (Param) LFO Depth

Flanger LFO Waveform

Reflection Feedback (Param)

Compressor Threshold (Param)

Level

Auto Pan LFO Waveform

LFO Rate LFO Depth Manual (Param)

Tremolo LFO Waveform

LFO Rate (Param) LFO Depth

3. Find the same type names in the table under “Normal DSP Single Type DSP Parameters” on pages E-88 through E-90, and note the operation and setting ranges of the items that are the same as those shown in the “Configurable Parameters” column of the above table.

• In our “Distortion-Wah” example, the left side part of the name is “Distortion” so we can see in the above table that “Gain” and “Level” parameters can be configured. You can find out about the operations and setting ranges of “Gain” and “Level” by referring to “03: Distortion” on page E-88.

4. Next, repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the right side part of the dual type DSP parameter name.

• The parameter numbers that appear on the parameter setting screen start from 1, and the number is incremented for each successive parameter. The parameter numbers of our “Distortion-Wah” example would be as shown below. 1: Gain 2: Level 3: LFO Waveform 4: LFO Rate 5: LFO Depth

• (Param) in the table under step 2 of this procedure are parameters assigned to the when Hex Layer tones are selected. The (Param) of the single type DSP whose name is on the left is assigned the

8/16 button, while the single type DSP whose name is

on the right is assigned the

8/16 and MASTER sliders

MASTER button.

■ Solo Synthesizer DSP Parameters

• (Param A) and (Param B) are parameters assigned to the

8/16 and MASTER sliders when Solo Synthesizer

tones are selected.
