Key Follow (Pitch Key Follow)

This setting causes the pitch to be affected by the key

pad location.

Unless you are creating a special type of sound, you

will normally leave this at Ò+100.Ó

fig.3-14TEXT

Range: -100Ð+200

With positive (+) settings, the pitch will rise as you

play higher notes (i.e., notes toward the right of the

keyboard). With negative (-) settings, the pitch will fall

as you play higher notes.

+100: As on a conventional keyboard instrument, the

pitch will rise one octave when you move 12

notes upward on the keyboard.

+200: The pitch will rise two octaves when you move

12 notes upward on the keyboard.

0: The pitch will be the same regardless of which

note you play.

-100: The pitch will fall one octave when you move 12

notes upward on the keyboard.

When you are creating sounds of instruments that nat-

urally have minimal change in pitch, such as percus-

sion instruments, it is effective to set Pitch Key Follow

to a setting of Ò+10Ó or Ò+20.Ó

Making the Pitch Change

Over Time (Pitch Envelope)

On acoustic instruments, the pitch sometimes changes

over time, from when the sound begins until it decays

to silence. For example, on brass instruments such as

the trumpet, there is a slight instability in pitch when

the beginning of the note is blown. The P-ENV (Pitch

Envelope) section lets you make settings that specify

this Òchange in pitch over time.Ó

Pitch Envelope Settings

1. Press [ENV SELECT] several times to select

PITCH.

2. Use the [A]/[D]/[S]/[R] sliders to set the

pitch envelope values.

Available settings:

[A]/[D]/[R]: 0Ð127

[S]: -63Ð+63

fig.3-16TEXT

[A] (Attack Time)

The time from when the keyboard pad is pressed until

the maximum pitch change is reached.

Higher settings will cause the pitch to change over a

longer time.

[D] (Decay Time)

The time from when the maximum pitch change is

reached until the Sustain Level is reached.
