Page 64 Shift Functions

Do this by pressing the Special button repeatedly and check that the left digit in the display is set to “–”

for all Functions except “F”.

14. Press Shift again to return to “normal mode”.

If you play the keyboard now, you will not get any sound, because the Cutoff is all the way down, and

the Filter envelope is no longer triggered by the keyboard.

15. Set up your sequencer to play a simple repeating note pattern on MIDI Channel 2.

The pitches of the notes does not matter, only the rhythm.

16. Hold down a few keys on the keyboard and start the sequencer.

The keys you press should be played with the rhythm from the sequencer.

Function “A” – External triggering of Amplifier Envelope

This function can be used to trigger the Amplifier envelope via notes coming in via MIDI, instead of by

playing the keyboard. Just as with the previous function, this can be used to play back preprogrammed

rhythms in your MIDI sequencer while inputting the actual pitch(es) by playing the keyboard.

You must play keys on the keyboard, or via MIDI (on the Program slot’s “basic” MIDI Channel), to get

any sound!

The parameters are the same as for the Filter Envelope function, see above.

If this function is activated and no MIDI notes are triggering the Amplifier envelope, the instrument will

be silent!

Function “5” – External Velocity Morph

This function is used to control the Velocity/Morph function via the velocity numbers of incoming MIDI

notes.

This differs from the way Velocity/Morph is normally applied. Normally the velocity is applied each time

you press a key. With the External Velocity Control function, however, you can press and hold notes and

vary their timbre via the velocity of the incoming notes without releasing the keys (that is – without re-

triggering the envelopes).

You can use the Program Select buttons to switch between “–” and “1”. The setting “–” means that the

function is turned off and. “1” means that it is activated.

The velocity control happens on its own MIDI Channel and note number(s), completely independent of

the MIDI Channel used for defining which keys should be played. It can be controlled from all notes on

one MIDI Channel or one specific note number on one MIDI Channel (see Function 3 above for how to

specify the MIDI note number and the MIDI Channel).

▼ When this function is activated, and a Note On message comes in, the parameters’ values are adjusted

according to the note’s Velocity value.

▼ When a Note Off message comes in, the Velocity/Morph function is reset to the minimum value.

Please note that you must play the keyboard to hear anything. Also note that the Velocity/Morph must

be set up beforehand for this function to have any effect on the sound.
