“Saving Patches” (p. 7)

If you don’t want to save, press the [EXIT] button to return to the
PATCH TOP screen. If you return to the PATCH TOP screen without
saving, the colon (:) between the patch number and patch name
blinks, indicates that the patch settings are modied (the patch is

(Separate Solo)

Both Upper and Lower Tones are played by each key in
8 voices polyphony.

The Split mode divides the keyboard into upper and
lower sections, where two dierent Tones can be played
in 8 voices polyphony. That is, the D-05 works like two 8
voice synthesizers. The Split Point (where the keyboard
is divided into two sections) is shown next to the Key
Mode indication.

The Separate mode lets you control the upper and
lower sections on separate MIDI channels.

The Upper Tone is monophonic.

Both Upper and Lower Tones are monophonic.

The Upper Tone is monophonic, and the Lower Tone is 8
voices polyphonic.

The Lower Tone is monophonic, and the Upper Tone is 8
voices polyphonic.

The Upper Tone and Lower Tone can be controlled on
separate MIDI channels. The Upper Tone is monophonic.

* The way in which the Key Mode aects how the voices play

depends on whether the D-05 is in mono mode or poly mode.

Vol

(Total Volume)

The volume of the reverb sound = maximum, the volume
of the direct sound = 0.

direct sound = maximum.

Sets the volume of both tones, and therefore adjusts the volume
dierence between Patches.

Value: 0–100

CHASE

OUTPUT

(Output Mode)

The Output Mode determines how the Tones take on the reverb
eect, and how the Tones appear at the outputs.

A sound reverberated in an acoustic environment consists of three
parts. First, you hear the direct sound as it travels from the source
outward. Next the early reection resounds once, or several time,
from the walls, ceiling ,and oor. Finally, you hear the reverberated
sound as it reects many times in the environment.

(Output Mode)

Here you can choose one of four modes to specify how the reverb
applied to the two tones is sent from the output.

Value: 01–04

The Chase Play function makes it possible to output the Lower
Tone slightly later than the Upper Tone, which is actually played
on the keyboard. This function, however, is only available in Dual
or Whole Key Mode.

Stereo reverb works on the mixed sound of Upper and Lower
Tones, and id sent out in stereo.

The Mixture of Upper and Lower takes on stereo reverb, and
the direct sound is sent out separately for Upper and Lower.

Only the Upper Tone takes on reverb. Upper and lower Tones
are sent out separately.

Only the Lower Tone takes on reverb, Upper and Lower Tones
are sent out separately.

Lev

(Chase Level)

This adjusts the level of the sound that is heard after a delay
relative to the Upper Tone, which is heard rst. Higher values
produce a higher level.

Value: 0–100

4

Time

(Chase Time)

Adjusts the sounding time. Higher value is longer time.

Value: 0–100

TONE TUNE

The relative pitch of the Upper and the Lower Tones can be
separately set. By setting slightly dierent pitches, a detune eect
can be obtained. Also, by lowering the pitch of the Upper Tone,
and raising the pitch of the Lower Tone, the pitches of the Two
Tones can become exactly the same.

Neo Horizon

(MIDI Functions)

You can change the setting of the MIDI Functions included Patch
Factor as follows.

MIDI Edit
TxCH B TxPC OFF

TxCH

(Transmit Channel)

number from the basic channel (“Function Menu” 0 “MIDI”

0

“CH” parameter). At B, the channel number is the same as the

Basic Channel.

Value: B (Basic), 1–16

TxPC

(Transmit Program Change Number)

A Program Change number to be transmitted can be set for
each patch individually. At OFF, the Program Change number
preprogrammed in each Patch is transmitted.

Value: OFF, 1–100

SepCH

(Receive Channel in Separate Mode)

A receive MIDI Channel in separate mode can be set for each
Patch individually. At OFF, the receive channel set in MIDI
Functions commonly set for System Function is used (“Function

Menu” 0 “MIDI” 0 “SepCH” parameter).

Value: OFF, 1–16

Copying a Reverb Type

Copying a Reverb Type

In addition to the patches (64 patches), 16 reverb types (17–32
are also saved to the D-05’s patch banks (P1–P6, U1–U8). Dierent
reverb types 17–32 are saved to each patch bank. The reverb
types you can use vary with the selected patch as described
below.

5 All shared common reverb types (1–16) can be used.

5 The reverb types 17–32 in individual banks can be used only

with the patches (64 patches) contained in that bank.

5 Reverb types from a bank other than the internal banks (any

from 1 through 32) can be copied to a reverb type in the
internal banks (any from 17 through 32).

5 This is convenient when, for example, you want to use Reverb

Type 25 (Gate Reverb) from the Patch Bank P1 as Reverb Type
30 in the Patch Bank U1.

Restriction of the available parameters caused
by Structure

Depending on what Structure is used, the available
parameters may be dierent.

1. Some parameters included in a Partial that uses

a PCM sound generator are invalid.

2. With Ring Modulation, some parameters in

Partial 2 will automatically become the same as
for Partial 1. Therefore, the values shown in the

Pitch changes within the Bender range, set in Patch Factors,
plus Keyfollow (Pitch) of WG.

Bender Mode Example:

5 If the Bender range (p. 3) is set to 12 (1 octave), and the

Keyfollow (Pitch) (p. 11) of WG is set to 2, the maximum
pitch change caused by moving the Bender Lever is 2
octaves.

5 When the Keyfollow (Pitch) (p. 11) of WG is set to zero,

there is no pitch change caused by the Bender lever.

(Pulse Width)

A square waveform has exactly the same width, up and down but
a Pulse waveform has dierent widths. The ratio of upper width
to lower is called pulse width. Depending on the set pulse width
value, the harmonic content of the sound changes greatly.
