CarloKey Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi GuyS!!! This is the case: I'm in TONE mode playing a piano preset, and because I find the piano volume too much low (is that a limitation of the machine?), I switch the fourth knob (presence) at max for having much power. Then I go playing another preset, for ex. drawbar organ, with the knob still switched, so I come back to the piano, and, despite the knob is still switched at max, the effect is how it was at the initial position (no presence increase). That's a known limitation or a problem of my synth? Thank u all !!!!! Carlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Whenever you modify your tone with the 4 knobs, you must save your tone as a new one to keep the changes (it will be saved as a USER TONE). If you change your preset and don't save it, all changes are lost. Have you tried increasing the main volume with the volume knob which is under the power button? Or just tried hitting harder (faster) the keys? Is the TOUCH option set to OFF, Norm or Light in the performance -> EDIT-> CONTROLLER->TOUCH (second page) ?Also I don't understand what "presence" is. The forth knob controls the reverbation effect for the PCM tones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 When in tone mode, all PCM, piano and drawbar organ tones are at the same volume by default, based upon the master volume knob and when played in tone mode. This will not be the case when in other modes-sequence, performance and hex mode as there are other loudness settings that control loudness independently of the master volume knob. Piano should not be lower in volume than any other tone. And I second what Peter is saying-the 4 controller knobs are meant to be used for temporary "on the fly" changes and when switching tones, whatever tone you call up will revert to it's default programmed setting, unless you store it as a user tone. As you change each knobs' setting in tone mode look at the LCD screen-it shows you what is being modified and by how much. I use these all the time to change the cutoff (filter), resonance, attack and release. Using the cutoff and resonance alone can change a sound by quite a bit and can lower the piano's (or any tone's) volume. Cutoff reduces the high frequency of a tone and would make the piano sound muffled or brighter depending upon how you change it. is this what you mean by "presence"? Please post if you still have trouble or success with this-could simply be a temporary "bug" that will be cleared by re-initializing-look at the manual for that if you think it is the way to go. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloKey Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thank u all and sorry for my english!! definetely the 4th knob is for reverb..I know!! .So, the most important, I ve just created 2 interesting piano patch, a grand and a rhodes, modifying the volume (from 105 to 127) and chorus/reverb settings...sound quite good!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Try a little extra resonance with the electric piano tones. Can make these sound a little "thinner" or "fatter". Nice work. Glad you're working out the controls, its only the beginning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
