(In this case there is no need to change the setting. ) * Refer to page 116 for details of each BLOCK. q Patch parameters r Patch Common parameters In MODE-1 (Single module mode) the VE-GS Pro functions as a single sound source module with 32 Parts. In MODE-2 (Double module mode) it functions as two sound source modules with 16 Parts each. The parameters common to all Parts in each module are called Patch Common parameters.

Default Value (H) 40 08 00 Description 0 [semitones] 0 [Hz] * PITCH OFFSET FINE allows you to alter, by a specified frequency amount, the pitch at which notes will sound. This parameter differs from the conventional Fine Tuning (RPN #1) parameter in that the amount of frequency alteration (in Hertz) will be identical no matter which note is played.
