[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed. The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages. 126 Creating a Rhythm Set Modifying Waveforms (WG) With rhythm tones, sounds are created by combining up to four Waves (eight for stereo). FXM Overview FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound effects. Tips on Creating a Rhythm Tone The Waves for the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, toms, and other percussion instruments are each assigned to one rhythm tone. When adding 3D effects to the sound, make the Pan settings for each rhythm tone individually. Connections FXM Color Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound. Along with the Wave number, the Wave name will appear at the lower part of the display. Value: ----, 1­1240 VS-700C Console FXM Depth Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM. Value: 0­16 Wave Coarse Tune Adjusts the pitch of the waveform's sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves). VS-700R I/O Value: -48­ +48 * When using a multisample in stereo, you must specify the same number for L and R. The Coarse Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Coarse parameter (p. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps--an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform's gain. Value: -6, 0, +6, +12 Wave Fine Tune Adjusts the pitch of the waveform's sound up or down in 1cent steps (+/-50 cents). Value: -50­ +50 Fantom VS One cent is 1/100th of a semitone. FXM Switch This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF). Value: OFF, ON The Fine Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Fine Tune parameter (p. 129). Appendix 127 Creating a Rhythm Set Wave Level You can set the volume of the waveform. Value: 0­127 Changing How a Rhythm Tone is Sounded (WMT) The WMT (Wave Mix Table) uses key velocity to control the four waveforms assigned to the rhythm tone. The volume level of each rhythm tone is set with the Tone Level parameter; the volume levels of the entire rhythm set is set with the Rhythm Level parameter (p. 125). Rhythm WMT WMT Velocity Control (Velocity Control Switch) WMT Velocity Control determines whether a different rhythm tone is played (ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is played (velocity). When set to "RND, " the rhythm set's constituent rhythm tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages. Value: OFF, ON, RANDOM Wave Pan This specifies the pan of the waveform. "L64" is far left, "0" is center, and "63R" is far right. Value: L63­0­63R Wave Rnd Pan Sw (Wave Random Pan Switch) Use this setting to cause the waveform's panning to change randomly each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF). Value: OFF, ON * The range of the panning change is set by the Rnd Pan Depth parameter (p. 134). Velo Fade Lower (Velocity Fade Width Lower) This determines what will happen to the tone's level when the tone is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to "0. " Value: 0­127 Wave Alter Pan Sw (Wave Alternate Pan Switch) This setting causes panning of the waveform to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Set Alternate Pan Switch to "ON" to pan the Wave according to the Alter Pan Depth parameter (p.
