Chapter 3 Giving Variation to Pattern

Changing the Tone with the

Knobs during Playback

(REALTIME MODIFY)

The tone can be modified during playback using the knobs

on the MC-307 panel. In addition, the items subject to

modification can be changed using the four assignable knobs

below the display.

- Movement of the controls does not result in any effect

unless the controls are adjusted beyond a certain range (a

value of about 2 or 3).

- If Realtime Modify is used to change the parameters in a

Pattern, then the Pattern reverts to its initial settings when

you switch to the next Pattern.

Selecting a Part Subject to

Modification

Select a part from Part R and Parts 1 to 7 for modifying the

tone.

Procedure

1. Press the [PTN] button.

2. Press the [F1 (PACH)] button.

The name of the patch in the currently selected part is

displayed.

3. Press the [PART SELECT] button.

The part buttons, [R], [1] to [7], function as the part

selection buttons.

4. Press the part button, [R], [1] to [7], for the part

containing the patch that you want to modify.

The part number of the selected part is displayed in the

“PART” field in the top right-hand corner of the display.

Changing Brightness of the Tone

(CUTOFF)

Sound consists of a large number of overtones at various

frequencies. By using a filter, you can cause only a specific

range of overtones to be passed or attenuated, thus

modifying the brightness. The FILTER section lets you make

settings that affect the brightness of the sound in this way.

Turning the CUTOFF knob clockwise produces a brilliant

tone, while turning it counterclockwise produces a smoother,

more rounded tone. Another effective use of this knob is to

operate it during playback to add changes according to the

BPM.

Procedure

1. Select a part, following the procedure described in

“Selecting a part subject to modification.”

2. Press the [FILTER] button.

The filter type can be selected each time this button is

pressed. For details, see “Range“ described later.

3. Turn the [CUTOFF] knob.

Turning it clockwise produces a brilliant tone, while

turning it counterclockwise produces a smoother, more

rounded tone.

Range:

- LPF (Low Pass Filter)

Rotating the knob clockwise will cause the sound to

become brighter, approaching the original waveform.

Rotating it counterclockwise will cut more of the high

frequency overtones, making the sound darker.

* For some waveforms, you may not be able to hear any sound if

you lower the value too far.

- BPF (Band Pass Filter)

Rotating the knob clockwise will raise the frequency area

that is heard. Rotating the knob counterclockwise will

cause only a progressively lower frequency area to be

heard.

- HPF (High Pass Filter)

When the knob is turned clockwise, the low frequency

range will be cut more greatly, making the sound

sharper. As the knob is rotated toward the left, the

original sound of the waveform will be heard.

* For some waveforms, you may hear no sound if this value is

closed to maximum.

- PKG (Peaking Filter)

When the knob is turned clockwise, the frequency area

that is emphasized will rise. Rotating the knob

counterclockwise will lower the frequency area that is

emphasized.
