Grid

Shuffle

Template

Explanation

Play Quantize will not be applied.

The data will be adjusted toward intervals of the beat specified by the Grid Quantize Resolution parameter.

Shuffle Quantization will be applied. Notes will be adjusted forward or backward toward intervals of the beat specified by the Shuffle Quantize

Resolution parameter, by the amount specified by Shuffle Rate.

This adds a “shuffle” or “swing” character to the rhythm.

A quantize template will be applied. By choosing one of 71 quantization settings, you can easily modify the beat in a wide variety of ways. In addition to various shuffle templates, these also include templates that use velocity to create a rhythm feel (Groove Quantize).

Strength (Quantize strength)

Sets the strength of quantization that will be applied to the notes specified by the Grid Quantize Resolution parameters. Higher value of this parameter will cause notes to be adjusted more closely toward the rhythmic intervals specified by Grid Quantize Resolution.

Range: 0%– 100 %

• A setting of 100 produces the strongest effect; at a setting of 0 no correction will be applied.

Resolution

Specifies the quantization timing. Choose the shortest note value that occurs in the region you want to quantize.

Quantize Type Range

(60), (80), (120) , (160),

Grid

Shuffle (120) , (240)

Rate

When Quantize Type=Shuffle, this specifies how far away the “backbeat” notes (relative to the Shuffle

Quantize Resolution setting) will be from the downbeats.

You can create a sense of swing by shifting the timing of the backbeats. With a setting of 50%, the backbeats will be exactly between the preceding and following downbeats. With a setting of 0%, the backbeats will be moved to the same timing as the preceding downbeat.

With a setting of 100%, the backbeats will be moved to the same timing as the following downbeat.

Range: 0%– 66 % –100%

Template

When Quantize Type=Template, you can use the following quantize templates.

Value

Grid

Shuffle

Template

Explanation

The data will be adjusted toward intervals of the beat specified by the Resolution parameter.

Shuffle Quantization will be applied. Notes will be adjusted forward or backward toward intervals of the beat specified by the Resolution parameter, by the amount specified by Shuffle Quantize Rate.

This adds a “shuffle” or “swing” character to the rhythm.

A quantize template will be applied. By choosing one of 71 quantization settings, you can easily modify the beat in a wide variety of ways. In addition to various shuffle templates, these also include templates that use velocity to create a rhythm feel (Groove Quantize).

Strength

Sets the strength of quantization. Higher value of this parameter will cause notes to be adjusted more closely toward the rhythmic intervals specified by the Resolution parameter.

Range: 0– 100

• A setting of 100 produces the strongest effect; at a setting of 0 no correction will be applied.

Resolution

Specifies the shortest interval to which the note timing will be quantized. The available values will depend on the Type parameter setting.

VoRsv (Voice reserve)

Specifies the number of voices that will be reserved for each part if you attempt to play more than 32 voices of polyphony simultaneously.

Range: 0 –32

• The total value of this setting for all parts is limited to 32.

You can’t make settings that would exceed this total.

• The number of voices that can be played will depend not only on the number of notes being played, but also on the number of partials used by each patch and the number of samples that make up each partial. If you are playing one patch, the number of voices used can be calculated as follows.

(number of voices) = (number of partials that are sounding) x (total number of channels for sample SMT 1–4 that make up the partials)

• The MV-8800 has a maximum polyphony of 64 voices. Of these, 32 voices are allocated to all of the audio tracks, meaning that the voice reserve settings available for the parts will be 32. (This does not mean that the parts have a maximum total polyphony of 32 voices.) Since the Voice

Reserve parameter specifies “the number of voices guaranteed to be available under any condition,” you will be able to play a total of 64 notes using the parts if no audio tracks are playing.

PATCH EDIT (SOLO/PORTAMENTO) screen

Here you can set polyphonic/monophonic, portamento of patch.



[F2](Solo/Porta)



Displays the currently selected part number and patch name.

Mono Mode

Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (Off) or monophonically (On). The “On” setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.

Range

Off

On

Explanation

Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

Only the last-played note will sound.

Legato Switch

With the Legato parameter “On,” pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.

Values: Off , On

• Legato Switch is valid when the Mono Mode parameter is set to “On.”

Retrigger (Legato Retrigger)

The setting determines whether sounds are replayed

(On) or not (Off) when performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter “On.” When “Off,” when one key is held down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch changes, without the attack of the latter key being played.

Values: Off , On

• The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono Mode parameter is set to “On” and the Legato Switch parameter is set to “On.”

• Let’s say you have the Legato Switch set to “On,” and the

Legato Retrigger set to “Off.” When you try to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger to “On.”

• Set this to “Off” when performing wind and string phrases or when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.

Portamento Switch

Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied

(On) or not (Off).

Range: Off , On

• Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the first-played key to the next-played key.

• By applying portamento when the Mono Mode parameter is

“On,” you can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar instrument.

Portamento Mode

Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be applied.

Value

Time

Explanation

Range: -24–12 dB

Detect Time

Delays the source signal that enters the expander or compressor.

Range: 0–10 ms

• With a conventional compressor, there is a brief lag from when the above-threshold level is detected until it is suppressed. However, in this algorithm the input sound is used only for detecting the level, and the actual processing and output is performed on a signal that is delayed by a suitable amount, thus avoiding this problem. The parameter Detect Time specifies the delay time used for this purpose. Using this parameter will produce a time difference between the input and output of the audio signal, so you must exercise caution if you’re using this for any purpose other than mastering (e.g., as a channel insert).

Low Split / High Split

Specifies the frequencies at which the source signal is divided into frequency bands. Low Split is the frequency at which the low and mid-frequency bands are divided.
