29 5.3 TONE MODIFY The MP8II allows certain characteristics of the sounds to be custom tailored to suit a particular musical or playing style, or to create many v ariations and different t ypes of sounds. TONE MODIFY set tings can be done for each zone individually .
30 CUTOFF : Raising the CUT OFF level makes the sound brighter , lowering the level makes the sound duller . A T T ACK: As the value incr eases, the attack time becomes longer , which means a slower attack is produced. DECA Y : This parameter controls the amount of time from the peak level to the sustain level of the sound.
31 When the selected zone is set to EXT , the display shows the MIDI CC numbers. The default parameters assigned f or each knob are as follows. A: #10 Panpot (P AN) B: #70 Sustain Level (STN) C: #76 V.
32 6. MENU The MENU buttons allow access to the edit par ameters in the MP8II. This collection of settings together with other editable par ameters can be stored as a SETUP . The MP8II provides 256 SETUPs, and all are user progr ammable. A SETUP consists of four zones.
33 6.1 Editing Procedure and Parameters First, press the ZONE SELECT button f or the zone to be edited. Next, press the MENU buttons until the par ameter you want to edit appears in the DISPLA Y . When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button again will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa.
34 6.2.4 String Resonance (Int Piano only) The volume of string resonance can be changed to the lev el you prefer . The value changes fr om 0 (off ) to 10.
35 6.2.8 TX Prg # (Ext only) This parameter determines if a Progr am Change Number will be transmit ted (On) or not (Off ) when a SETUP is recalled. If you want to switch sounds on external MIDI devices every time you call the Setup turn this par ameter ON.
36 6.2.14 Velocity Switch V elocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool f or customizing a performance. Using V elocity Switching, it is possible to hav e either one sound switch to ano.
37 Note: Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the Soft Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone, a dynamic area where both sounds play can be created. It is also possible to switch Internal Zones with External Zones for even more possibilities.
38 6.2.19 Transmitting Volume (Ext only) This parameter determines if an initial MIDI V olume message will be transmitted (On) to an external MIDI device or not (Off ) when a SETUP is recalled. Note: In a zone set to External or Both, moving the faders will still transmit volume messages even if TX Volume is set to Off.
39 6.2.25 Foot Switch This parameter determines if a F oot Switch connected to the FSW jack is activ e (On) or not (Off ) for the selected zone. The type of controller assigned to the footswitch is a common Setup parameter and is used f or all zones of a Setup as a global parameter .
40 6.3 Common Parameters Common parameters ar e affecting all zones. 6.3.1 Stretch Tuning The hearing ability of a human is unev en and is not accurate with high fr equency and low frequency as it is with the middle r ange. The tuning of an acoustic piano is stretched to compensate f or this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears.
41 for the Mersenne pure temperament. It pr oduces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temper ament. W erkmeis/Kirnberg: These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean.
42 6.3.7 Modulation Wheel Control Change Number This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Modulation Wheel on the right side of the front panel.
43 7. STORE Y ou can save the changes of the settings made as either a SOUND or a SETUP . Up to 256 SOUNDs or 256 SETUPs can be stored. Moreover , the Common parameters can also be stored as the initial setting in SOUND mode. The following groups of parameters ar e stored.
