You can have
a LOT of fun in this area. Edit Voice section of the
later Ketron products. You cannot do all the teeny edits
you can do on some products like the upper end Korg,
but you have 95% of all the stuff anyone except studio
programmers ever use. And, of course, you are starting
with better samples than other products so you don't
need such refined tweaking. I have picked a patch for
you to tweak if you have never played with this section.
Go to Stage Piano in "User Voice". On later
instruments it may be called Stagepno. Get to your normal
screen (the split screen) and press F7 "Edit Voice".
Just
for fun, start by setting the Attack (F1) to 12 instead
of 0. What was a piano almost sounds like a whistle.
I just had you do that so you would know how the Attack
works. Reset it to 0. Now on the left side of the screen
do the following.
F2 Decay 66
F3 Sustain 67
F4 Release 65
F5 Level 80
ON
the right side of the screen you have some extra options.
F6 Resonance to minus 64
F7 Cutoff 127
F8 Effects -- When you press this you get a different
center on your screen.
The effect type will be highlighted. Press your right
"Value" button until the effect type shows
Delay~Chorus. Then use the "Cursor" button
until Reverb is highlighted. (you can set the type of
Delay and Chorus, but the defaults "Delay1"
and "Chorus1" are good for now.) Using the
"Value" buttons set the Reverb to 63. Then
move down to the "Delay" using the "Cursor"
again and set the Delay between 18-63. Be sure the Delay
is plainly audible. Then repeat this procedure and set
the Chorus to 63.
F9 Wheel -- Pressing this gives you another screen in
the center again. Use you Cursor buttons to get to LFOamp
and set the value with the Value buttons to "On".
Do the same with LFOfilt. Turn it on. Then Cursor back
up to LFOpitch and turn it off. Note: you cannot turn
LFOpitch off until you turn something else on.
F10 -- Yet another screen display! Using the above procedure
toggle down to LFO2 Rate and set it to 56. Go to DFC
Depth and set to 49.
What
we have done on the the F9 and F10 settings is change
the action of the Modulation wheel. Instead of changing
pitch it will have a Tremolo effect like the old Wurlitzer
piano and some of the Rhodes pianos.
Press
Save/Enter and F10 only if you wish
to keep this setting.
You
have 128 voices that you can do with what you wish.
The way these voices come defaulted from the factory,
are very similar to the regular voices in your voice
banks. Using these techniques, you can choose to have
a very different set of voices.
One further item. You can use the voices in your program
settings to give your program voices a different sound.
However, the effects, will not follow the voice since
you set the effects in program. |
