Voicing

[Available Voicing types: Normal/Mellow/Dynami/Bright]

Concert Grand Voicing = Normal

Voicing is a technique used by traditional piano technicians to mold the character of an acoustic piano's sound by physically adjusting the action, hammers and strings. The MP9500 voicing parameter simulates this technique electronically.

This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize each sound in the MP9500.

The effect is most useful on the Piano sounds, but is available for all of the Internal Sounds.

Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow: Produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynami: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire dynamic range.

Bright: Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Tx/Rx Ch (Transmit/Receive Channel)

[Value Range: 1 - 16]

Concert Grand Tx/Rx Ch = 1

This parameter selects the MIDI channel that will be used for transmitting and receiving MIDI data in SINGLE mode. This MIDI channel must be matched to an external MIDI device. (see p.13)

Volume

[Available types: Int/Ext/Both]

Concert Grand Volume Asgn=Int

This parameter selects the assignment of Fader 1. This fader can be assigned to control the volume (CC#7) of internal sounds only, external MIDI devices only, or both simultaneously.

Int: Assigns Fader 1 to Internal sounds only.

Ext: Assigns Fader 1 to external MIDI devices only.

Both: Assigns Fader 1 to both internal sounds and external MIDI devices.

FootSW (Foot Switch)

[Available types: Int/Ext/Both]

Concert Grand FootSW Asgn=Int

This parameter selects the assignment of the FootSwitch. The FootSwitch can be assigned to control internal sounds only, external MIDI devices only, or both simultaneously.

Int: Assigns the FootSwitch to Internal sounds only.

Ext: Assigns the FootSwitch to External MIDI devices only.

Both: Assigns the FootSwitch to both internal sounds and external MIDI devices.

ExpPdl (Expression Pedal)

[Available types: Int/Ext/Both]

Concert Grand ExpPd1 Asgn=Int

This parameter selects the assignment of the Expression Pedal. The Expression Pedal can be assigned to control internal sounds only, external MIDI devices only, or both simultaneously.

Int: Assigns the Expression Pedal to Internal sounds only.

Ext: Assigns the Expression Pedal to External MIDI devices only.

Both: Assigns the Expression Pedal to both internal sounds and external MIDI devices.

5) TRANSPOSE

When the Transpose function is "ON" the MP9500's key can be raised or lowered in half steps. The available range of transposition is 24 semitones, either up or down.

OPERATION

Method 1

While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press any key on the MP9500 keyboard to select a new transposed key. Pressing the F key above middle C for example will transpose the MP9500 UP to the key of F (+5 half steps).

EFX type list;

Chorus 1/2/3: Chorus is a slight detuning of the sound, which adds depth and richness to the sound.

Flangr 1/2: Flanger introduces a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion and a "hollow" tone to the sound.

Ensemble: Ensemble is a three phase chorus, with each of the three chorus units at a different phase and frequency. This gives a slightly richer sound than the Celeste effect, below.

Celeste: Celeste is a three phase chorus, with each of the three chorus units at different phase.

Delay 1/2: Delay adds echoes to the sound.

AutoPan: AutoPan alternates the sound left and right across the stereo field at a variable rate.

Tremolo: Tremolo changes the volume of the sound, making it louder and softer at a variable rate.

Phaser 1/2: Phaser creates a cyclic phase change, adding motion to the sound.

Rotary 1/2: The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speaker cabinet commonly used with electronic organs. Rotary 2 adds distortion.

Auto Wah: Auto Wah creates an automatic filter sweep at the attack of each note.

Exciter: Exciter emphasizes certain high frequencies to make a sound more easily discernible.

Enhancer: Enhancer produces a crisper tone, so the sound is more easily discernible.

Overdrv: Overdrive effect adds pre-amp style distortion.

Distirtn: Distortion effect adds a harder, fuzzier distortion than the overdrive.

SympRes: This effect simulates the sympathetic resonance occurring in the undamped strings of an acoustic piano.

7) EQ (EQUALIZER)

The MP9500 contains a four-band graphic equalizer to shape the overall tone of the sound. The EQ is global, and will affect the internal sounds only.

OPERATION

STEP 1

Be sure that the EQ button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. If the EQ button is turned off, press it to turn it ON.

STEP 2

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the EQ parameters. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings. Each parameter of the EQ has an adjustable range from -6 to +6. A positive (+) value indicates amplification, or a boost of that frequency range. A negative (-) value indicates attenuation, or a cut of that frequency range.

Lo	Mlo	Mhi	Hi
+3	-2	+1	+2

Note:

The EQ function has no effect on the FIXED Outputs of the MP9500.

8) TONE MODIFY

The MP9500 allows certain characteristics of the internal sounds to be custom tailored to suit a particular musical or playing style, or to create many variations and different types of sounds.

The following parameters are provided:

CUTOFF, ATTACK, DECAY and RELEASE.

OPERATION

STEP 1

Make sure that the TONE MODIFY button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit.

If the TONE MODIFY button is turned off, press it to turn it ON.

STEP 2

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the Tone Modify parameters for the current sound.

Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings.

Each parameter of the TONE MODIFY function has an adjustable range from -50 to +50.

CUT amp; ATK amp; DCY amp; RLS + 5 0 amp; - 2 0 amp; + 4 0 amp; + 1 0

TONE MODIFY parameter list

CUTOFF: Raising the CUTOFF level makes the sound brighter, lowering the level makes the sound duller.

ATTACK: As the value increases, the attack time becomes longer, which means a slower attack is produced.

DECAY: This parameter controls the amount of time from the peak level to the sustain level of the sound.

RELEASE: This parameter controls the amount of time needed for the sound to fade out after the key is released.

9) Transmitting MIDI Control Changes using the CONTROL KNOBS

The MP9500 can send any MIDI Continuous Controller information to any MIDI Instrument or Device.

This powerful feature allows for editing the sounds of an external sound module in Real Time during performance, or for recording Real Time performance edits to a MIDI sequencer. Obviously, the MIDI Control Change function is available for the external MIDI devices only.

OPERATION

STEP 1

Make sure that the MIDI CC# button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. If the MIDI CC# button is turned off, press it to turn it ON.

STEP 2

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the MIDI CC parameters. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to send the MIDI continuous controller information assigned to each knob as described below. Each parameter of the Control Change has an adjustable range from 0 to 127.

Control Change parameter list;

A: #10 PAN

B: #11 EXPRESSION

C: #16 GENERAL PURPOSE#1

Caution:

The settings in the MULTI Menu will not be stored when the power is turned off, unless they are saved. To save these settings, use the Store MULTI procedure. (see p.34)

How to change the MULTI Edit parameters

OPERATION

Make sure that the MULTI button is lit.

STEP 1

First, press the ZONE SELECT button for the zone to be edited.

Next, press the MENU buttons until the parameter you want to edit appears in the DISPLAY. When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button again will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa.

STEP 2

Set the value of the parameter using the VALUE buttons.

Since each parameter has a different value range, consult the following pages for the details. Repeat this procedure for any other parameters in any of the zones that need to be modified.

STEP 3

Save these settings using the STORE button.

(see p.34 for detail)

Edit Common

Each zone can be set as Int, Ext or Both. This is called Zone mode. The first page of MULTI Edit menu shows the Zone mode status for all zones.

This page shows the Zone Mode for all four zones. The reversed letter in the left upper corner shows the status of the selected zone mode. To change the Zone mode, go to the next page.

Zone Mode (Edit)

[Value Range: Int/Ext/Bth]

This parameter sets the Zone mode. The example shows that the Zone 2 is set to Internal.

Edit Zone

Zone No. Zone Mode

There are two parameter groups. Internal parameter group and External parameter group. If a zone is set to Int, only Internal parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set to Ext, only External parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set to Bth, both Internal and External parameters are available for editing.

Sound

[Value Range: 64 internal sounds]

This parameter determines which internal sound is assigned for the selected zone.

TX Prg #

[Value Range: On/Off]

This parameter determines if a Program Change Number will be transmitted (On) or not (Off) when a MULTI is recalled.

[Value Range: C-2 \~ G8]

These two parameters define the playable key range on the keyboard for the selected zone. First, while K.Range Hi appears in the display, press the key on the keyboard that will be the highest note that the selected zone can play. Next, while K.Range Lo appears in the display, press the key on the keyboard that will be the lowest note that the selected zone can play.

Note:

For convenience, the keyboard is used to set the values for K.Range Hi and K.Range Lo. Be careful not to leave the K.Range Hi or K.Range Lo parameters active in the display after these values have been set!

Note:

The K.Range Hi and K.Range Lo can be also set using the VALUE buttons.

TIPS

An effective use of the K.Range Hi and Lo

(1) Assign a patch to the Zone 1 and a different patch to the Zone 2 using the regular method.
(2) For the Zone 1, set K.Range Lo to "F0" and K.Range Hi to "E5".
(3) For the Zone 2, set K.Range Lo to "A1" and K.Range Hi to "G6".

F0 - G1 : These keys will play the Zone 1 only.

A1 - E5 : These keys will play the Zone 1 and 2 as a layer.

F5 - G6 : These keys will play the Zone 2 only.

Vel SW (Velocity Switch)

[Value Range: Off/Loud/Soft]

Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing a performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one sound switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound to be added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound drop out above or below a set velocity level.

This parameter sets the velocity switch type.

Off : No effect. The PATCH plays normally.

Loud : The selected sound plays only when the key is struck harder than the Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)

Soft : The selected sound plays only when the key is struck softer than the Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)

Vel SW Val (Velocity Switch Value)

[Value Range: 0 \~ 127]

Internal Vel SW Val = 80

This parameter determines switching level of the key velocity.

For the Loud Vel SW : determines the lowest key velocity to sound.

For the Soft Vel SW : determines the highest key velocity to sound.

Note:

Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the Soft Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone, a dynamic area where both sounds play can be created. It is also possible to switch Internal Zones with External Zones for even more possibilities.

Vel Sense (Velocity Sense)

[Value Range: -64 \~ 0 \~ +63]

Internal Vel Sense = +32

This parameter adjusts the keyboard response.

If a positive value is set, the velocity level increases when keys are struck harder.

Voicing

[Available types: Normal/Mellow/Dynami/Bright]

This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character. This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano response for each player and each sound.

The effect is most useful on the Piano sounds, but is available for all of the internal sounds.

Voicing type list;

Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow: Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. Produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynami: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire dynamic range.

Bright: Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Solo

[Value Range : On/Off]

This parameter turns the Solo Mode On/Off.

When Solo is turned "On" only one note will be transmitted via MIDI for the selected zone even if more than one note is being played simultaneously. This can be used to effectively simulate the performance characteristics of a monophonic synthesizer or as a special performance tool for playing solo parts. Solo mode can also be used while playing a polyphonic part from another zone.

Solo Mode

[Available types: Last/Hi/Low]

This parameter determines which note will be played when Solo is ON and more than one note is being played simultaneously. There are three choices for Solo note priority.

Last: The most recently played note within a group of notes will be transmitted when Solo is ON

Touch

[Available touch response curves: [Off/Heavy+/Heavy/Normal/Light/Light+/User1,2]

This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.

Off: This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the keyboard is struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain synthesizer sounds.

Heavy+: This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower curve at low velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking force to produce a loud volume.

Heavy: This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.

Light: This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 4) This curve is good for those still developing finger strength.

Light+: This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate touch.

Normal: This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic piano.

User1,2: You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing style. Two user touch curves can be saved.

User Touch

After selecting the "Touch" function by pressing the MENU buttons, use the VALUE buttons to select User 1 or User 2.

Press the STORE button.

Now start playing the piano dynamically from soft to loud in order to let the piano analyze your playing style.

Press the STORE button again when you finish playing.

The piano will analyze your playing and create a custom touch curve for you based upon your playing style.

Temperament

[Value Range: Equal/Stretch/Pure M/Pure m/Pytha/Mean/Werk/Kirn/User]

SYSTEM

Tempr = Stretch

This parameter sets the temperament of the MP9500.

Equal:	This is "unstretched" equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semitones.
Stretch:	The temperament is "stretched" for the piano sounds whenever they are selected. All other sounds will retain the Equal temperament EXCEPT when they are layered with a Piano sound. In this situation both sounds in the layer will be set to Stretched so they will be in tune with each other. If two non piano sounds are layered their tuning will be Equal.
Pure Maj:(Min):	This temperament, which eliminates dissonance's for thirds and fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony. When playing in a major key select "Pure Maj" and when playing in a minor key select "Pure Min".
Pythagor:	This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.
Meantone:	This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonance's experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
Werkmeis:Kirnberg:	These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User:	You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering the pitch for each half tone.

Note:

Stretched tuning is a temperament that stretches the tuning of the upper and lower octaves. The lower octaves are tuned flatter and the upper octaves are tuned sharper.

Key of Temperament

[Value Range: C \~ B]

SYSTEM

Tempr Key = C

Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose "D" as the temperament key.

When Temperament is set to Equal or Stretch, this page won't be displayed.

Tuning C \~ B

[Value Range: -50 \~ +50]

SYSTEM
C	= +50

When the temperament is set to "User", adjust the pitch for each key and create your own temperament.

When the temperament is set to other than User, these pages won't be displayed.

SysTune (System Tuning)

[Value Range: 427.0 \~ 453.0 (Hz)]

SYSTEM SysTune = 440.0

This parameter sets the global master tuning of the MP9500.

FootSW CC# (Footswitch Control Change)

[Value Range: 0 \~ 114, LNK]

SYSTEMFootSW CC# = 66

This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Footswitch connected to the FSW jack on the rear panel.

If the LNK is selected, the Footswitch is used to select the next step in the LINK. (LINK Mode must be on) See page 61 for the list of Control Change numbers.

ExpPdl CC# (Expression Pedal Control Change)

[Value Range: 0 \~ 114, AFT]

SYSTEMExpPd1 CC# = 11

This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Expression Pedal connected to the EXP jack on the rear panel.

If the AFT is selected, the expression pedal is used to send After Touch information. See page 61 for the list of Control Change numbers.

Note:

When the following Numbers are selected for the FootSW CC# or the ExpPdl CC#, the functions affect the internal sounds, too.

1. Modulation Wheel
2. Volume
3. Pan
4. Expression Controller
5. Damper Pedal
6. Sostenuto
7. Soft Pedal

Local Control

[Value Range: On/Off]

SYSTEM
Local	= 0n

On: The keyboard of the MP9500 and the internal tone generators are connected. Set this parameter to "On" for normal use.

Off: The internal connection between the keyboard and the tone generators is switched off. This feature will avoid the "Doubled Sound" that results from use with an external sequencer equipped with Soft Thru or Echo Thru.

RX Ch [1-16] (Receive Channel)

[Value Range: Play/Mute]

SYSTEM RX Ch 1 = Play

This parameter determines whether or not a particular MIDI channel will receive incoming MIDI data from an external source. This parameter can be used to filter out data on specific MIDI channels that are not intended for the MP9500.

Play: The MP9500 responds to MIDI data received on this channel. Mute: The MP9500 ignores MIDI data received on this channel.

LCD Contrast

[Value Range: 1 \~ 10]

SYSTEM Contrast = 1 0

This parameter adjusts the contrast of the LCD display. As the value changes higher, the contrast gets sharper.

7. OTHER

MIDI IN

SINGLE mode

When in SINGLE mode, the MP9500 receives the MIDI information coming in the Tx/Rx Channel only. (See p.15.)

For changing the internal sounds via MIDI, refer to the SINGLE Program Number List on the next page.

Note:

When the MP9500 receives the Program Number from 65 to 128 in System Channel (See p.43.), the MP9500 will switch to MULTI mode and the corresponding MULTI patch is recalled. (See the MULTI Program Numbr Table below.) The recalled MULTI patch can be played only from the keyboard of the MP9500.

MULTI mode

When in MULTI mode, the MP9500 can be used as a multi-timbral sound module. playing up to 16 different sounds on 16 MIDI channels.

Note:

When the MP9500 receives the Program Number from 65 to 128 in System Channel (See p.43.), the corresponding MULTI patch is recalled. (See the MULTI Program Numbr Table below.) The recalled MULTI patch can be played only from the keyboard of the MP9500.

When the MP9500 receives the Program Number from 1 to 64 in System Channel (See p.43.), the MP9500 will switch to SINGLE mode and the corresponding SINGLE patch is recalled.
