...........................................................................................................

The Ring Modulator multiples the waveforms of two Tones,

creating a new sound that includes many harmonics (inhar-

monic partials) not present in the two original Tones. (As

long as one Tone’s waveform is not a sine wave, virtually no

frequency components sound at regular intervals). As the

pitch difference between the two waveforms changes the

harmonic structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic

sound. This is especially suitable for creating bell and other

metallic sounds.

Tone Key Range Lower: Upper display

On this display, you can specify the range of notes that will

play each Tone. This can be used to make notes in different

areas of the keyboard play different Tones. The specified

range is displayed graphically.

Tone 1 (Tone 1 key range lower:upper)

Tone 2 (Tone 2 key range lower:upper)

Tone 3 (Tone 3 key range lower:upper)

Tone 4 (Tone 4 key range lower:upper)

Lower specifies the lowest note to play each Tone and Upper

specifies the highest, over the C-1 to G9 range.

✳

You cannot set Lower to a value greater than Upper, or

Upper to a value smaller than Lower. If you should do

this by mistake, the two values will change together. If

this is the case, reset the value.

✳

If you have used [+OCT] or [-OCT] or the Transpose

parameter (SYSTEM/Setup/Setup) to transpose the

pitch of the XP-80’s keyboard, the keyboard area speci-

fied by Key Range will also shift.

Tone Vel Range Lower:Upper:Fade (Tone velocity

range) display

Here you can specify the range of velocities that will play

each Tone. You can make different velocities play different

Tones. The specified range is displayed graphically.

Tone 1 (Tone 1 velocity range lower:upper:crossfade)

Tone 2 (Tone 2 velocity range lower:upper:crossfade)

Tone 3 (Tone 3 velocity range lower:upper:crossfade)

Tone 4 (Tone 4 velocity range lower:upper:crossfade)

Lower specifies the lowest velocity limit to play each Tone,

over the range of 1 to 127. Notes played softer than the set

limit will not sound at all or be hardly audible.

Upper specifies the highest velocity limit to play each Tone,

over the range of 1 to 127. Notes played more stronger than

the set limit will not sound at all or be hardly audible.

Crossfade specifies how the volume of the Tone changes

when the velocity of a note is outside the specified velocity

range. Higher settings will result in a more gradual attenua-

tion. If you don’t want the Tone to sound at all for velocities

outside the specified range, set this parameter to 0.

✳

Lower cannot have a value greater than Upper, or

Upper any value smaller than Lower. If you should do

this by mistake, the two values will change together. If

this is the case, reset the value.

Switch (Velocity range switch)

Specifies if the velocity range setting will be used or not. The

velocity range setting is used when the Switch parameter is

ON.
