2111.1 About Timbre TypeThe tone selected by each part of this Instrument has a “Timbre Type” parameter that specifies the type of sound sourcefor the tone. As explained under “21.1 Basic Parameters”, there are four Timbre Types settings: Melody, LM Piano, Piano,and Drum. The operation for a received channel message differs according to the Timbre Type.• Timbre Type: MelodyThis Timbre Type is for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/off operations.• Timbre Type: Piano or LM (Linear Morphing) PianoThis Timbre Type is for piano tones.The decay rate of the voice being sounded and Acoustic Resonance effect characteristics are continually altered inaccordance with the damper pedal position. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages alsois different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.• Timbre Type: DrumThis Timbre Type is for drum sounds. The method for producing sound is optimized for drums. The damper pedaland sostenuto pedal do not work for sounds that do not recognize Note Off. The tuning setting also does not affectthis Timbre Type.11.2 DSP Assignments during Tone Selection11.2.1 DSP Line StructureThough the Instrument has four DSP lines that can be used simultaneously, selecting a tone that uses DSP causes therequired number of DSP lines to become reserved so the tone is configured with the requisite DSP.Tones listed under “24.1 Monaural Tone DSP” use only one DSP line, while the tones under “24.2 Stereo Tone DSP” usetwo DSP lines.For information about tones that use DSP, see “23 Tone with DSP List”.11.2.2 DSP Line AssignmentSelecting multiple tones with DSP at the same time creates the possibility that there will not be enough DSP lines. In thiscase, the last selected tone with DSP is given priority. Some DSP line(s) already being used will be released so they canbe assigned to the newly selected tone.11.2.3 Use of the Same DSP Line by Multiple PartsWhen all of the settings below are the same for multiple parts that select tones that use DSP, the same DSP line is assignedto all of the parts in order to maximize DSP line availability. Note, however, that a DSP cannot be shared simultaneouslybetween parts A01 through B16, and parts C01 through C16.• Tone Number• Part Volume• Part Pan• All DSP parametersAfter the same DSP line is assigned to different parts as described here, Part Volume, Pan, Reverb Send, Chorus Send,Acoustic Resonance Send, and all DSP parameter settings are common to all parts. Note that changing the settings on anypart will also affect all of the other parts that are sharing the DSP line.To assign the parts to a different DSP line, you need to change one of the parameters listed above before selecting the tone.
