Editing the Tones (TONE)<br />

Parameter List (MODELING TONE)<br />

Group Parameter Value Description<br />

TONE<br />

PITCH<br />

12STR<br />

SWITCH OFF, ON Turns the tone on/off. Tones turned “OFF” will not sound (i.e., they are muted).<br />

If GUITARBASS is set to “GUITAR” (p. 9)<br />

E.GTR,<br />

AC,<br />

E.BASS,<br />

Selects the category (group) of tones.<br />

TONE CATEGORY<br />

SYNTH<br />

If GUITARBASS is set to “BASS” (p. 9)<br />

E.BASS,<br />

SYNTH,<br />

Selects the category (group) of tones.<br />

E.GTR<br />

TONE NUMBER 001–<br />

Selects the tone. For an explanation, refer to the following table (TONE CATEGORY:<br />

E.GTR–SYNTH).<br />

LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the tone.<br />

STRING LEVEL1–6 0–100<br />

Adjusts the volume of each string.<br />

For the PCM1, PCM2, and MODELING tones, you can specify a value of “0” for each<br />

string that you don’t want to be sounded for that tone; this allows you to create “split”<br />

setups.<br />

PITCH SHIFT -24–+24 Adjusts the pitch of the tone (in semitone steps, +/-2 octaves).<br />

PITCH FINE -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of the tone (in one cent steps; equivalent to 1/100 semitone).<br />

Turn this on if you want to produce the sound of a 12-string guitar. The sound of a<br />

12STR SW<br />

OFF/ON<br />

conventional 6-string guitar will be transformed to the sound of a 12-string guitar<br />

with its supplementary strings.<br />

DIRECT LEVEL 0–100 Specifies the volume of the main strings.<br />

SHIFT1–6 -24–+24<br />

FINE1–6 -50–+50<br />

Adjusts the pitch difference of each<br />

supplementary string relative to<br />

the corresponding main string, in<br />

semitone steps.<br />

Adjusts the pitch of each<br />

supplementary string in cents<br />

(1/100 semitone steps).<br />

* 12STR cannot be used with any of the following settings (the parameters will not be shown).<br />

• MODELING TONE parameters<br />

TONE CATEGORY=E.BASS (if set to GUITAR input) or E.GTR (if set to BASS input)<br />

PITCH SHIFT≠0<br />

PITCH FINE≠0<br />

• MASTER parameters<br />

ALTERNATE TUNING “SWITCH” =ON<br />

* On a conventional 12-string guitar,<br />

supplementary strings 1 and 2 are tuned<br />

to the same pitch (SHIFT = 0) as the corresponding<br />

main string, and supplementary<br />

strings 3–6 are tuned one octave higher<br />

(SHIFT = +12) than the corresponding<br />

main string. Slightly raising each string’s<br />

FINE setting will produce a more realistic<br />

12-string guitar tone.<br />
