Modifying Waveforms (WG)<br />

With rhythm tones, sounds are created by combining up<br />

to four Waves (eight for stereo).<br />

Tips on Creating a Rhythm Tone<br />

The Waves for the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, toms, and<br />

other percussion instruments are each assigned to one<br />

rhythm tone. When adding 3D effects to the sound,<br />

make the Pan settings for each rhythm tone individually.<br />

Rhythm Wave<br />

Wave No. L (Mono) (Wave Number L (Mono))<br />

Wave No. R (Wave Number R)<br />

This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. Along<br />

with the Wave number, the Wave name will appear at the<br />

lower part of the display.<br />

When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified.<br />

When in stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.<br />

Value: ----, 1–1240<br />

* When using a multisample in stereo, you must specify the<br />

same number for L and R.<br />

Wave Gain<br />

Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value<br />

changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles<br />

the waveform’s gain.<br />

Value: -6, 0, +6, +12<br />

FXM Switch<br />

This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).<br />

Value: OFF, ON<br />

FXM Color<br />

Creating a Rhythm Set<br />

FXM<br />

FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified<br />

waveform to apply frequency modulation to the<br />

currently selected waveform, creating complex<br />

overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or<br />

sound effects.<br />

Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation.<br />

Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower<br />

settings result in a more metallic sound.<br />

Value: 1–4<br />

FXM Depth<br />

Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.<br />

Value: 0–16<br />

Wave Coarse Tune<br />

Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in<br />

semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).<br />

Value: -48– +48<br />

The Coarse Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the<br />

Tone Coarse parameter (p. 129).<br />

Wave Fine Tune<br />

Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in 1cent<br />

steps (+/-50 cents).<br />

Value: -50– +50<br />

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.<br />

The Fine Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the<br />

Tone Fine Tune parameter (p. 129).<br />
