Voice Characteristics
The preset Voices are categorized into the types listed below. Refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List (separate PDF) to see the type of each Voice.

VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling)

See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.

S.Art!

See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.

(Super Articulation)

Natural!

2

Live!

Natural! Voices are high quality sounds on many specialist sampling techniques. They are especially suited to recreating Piano and other keyboard instruments.
Live! Voices feature stereo sampling, to reproduce accurately the stereo image of an acoustic instrument, as well as the ambience of the room it was recorded in.

Voices

Cool!

Cool! Voices reproduce the complex characteristics of Electric Instruments, by utilizing sophisticated programming techniques in both voicing, and the use of DSP effects.

Sweet!

Sweet! Voices are acoustic instruments which feature the sampled vibrato of the original player, creating a far more realistic and emotional performance than synthesized vibrato.

Drums

Drum & Percussion instruments are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or use in music production.

Live! Drums

Stereo sampling is used for these high definition Drum and Percussion instruments, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or use in music production.

SFX

Special percussion and sound effects are mapped across the keyboard, so you can

play them directly, or use in music production.

Live! SFX

Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or use in music production.

MegaVoice

MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in Styles and Songs, not for live performance. Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically different playing styles simultaneously, and without changing the Voice.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the Data List (separate PDF).
NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.
NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply keyboard harmony (page 7), change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

Harmony The types from Standard Duet 1 to Strum apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) If you want to use these types with the Style stopped, set the Stop ACMP parameter to a setting other than Disabled in the Style Setting display (page 25).

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [MAIN] and [LAYER] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.
Echo When Echo, Tremolo or Trill is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill only works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.

5 Use the [7 ] (Detail) buttons to call up the detail setting window, and then use the
[3 ] ­ [8 ] buttons to make necessary settings.
The available settings differ depending on the Harmony type selected in step 4.

[3 ] Volume

This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi Assign. It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect.

[4 ]/ Assign [5 ]

This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi

Assign. This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/ echo notes will be sounded.

· Auto: Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both

parts are on, the Main part is given priority over the Layer part.

· Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is

sounded by Main part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the

Main and Layer parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the

2

keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.

· Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer).

Voices

[6 ] Speed

This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects.

[7 ]

Chord Note Only

This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to On, the Harmony effect is applied only to notes (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belong to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.

[8 ] Minimum Velocity

This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi Assign. It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value).

6 Play the keyboard.
The effect selected in step 4 is applied to the right-hand melody.

Preset Scale types Equal Pure Major, Pure Minor Pythagorean
Mean-Tone

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each halfstep evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies– such as choirs and a cappella singing.
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

10 DGX-670 Reference Manual

Werckmeister, Kirnberger
Arabic1, Arabic2

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

3 Change the following settings as necessary.

[2 ] Base Note
[3 ]/ Tune [4 ] [5 ]­ Part Select [8 ]

Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes.

Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune

it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.
NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

[5 ]/ Part Octave [6 ] 2 Mono/Poly, Portamento [1 ]/ Mono/Poly [2 ] [3 ]/ Mono Type [4 ]

· Depth: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
· Offset: Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the actual velocity effect.
Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the Main and Layer parts, the Main/ Layer parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the Left part, the Left parameter is available.
Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically (Mono) or polyphonically (Poly).
Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar, when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to Mono above. · Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped. · Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only
the pitch changes to that of the next note. · Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played
note to the next note.
NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves the same as the Normal setting when these Voices are selected.
NOTE When Legato is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from Normal, depending on the panel settings.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 13

[5 ] Portamento Time

Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to Mono above.

NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.

[6 ]/ [7 ]

Portamento Type

Determines how an actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Portamento Time value above.
· Fixed Rate: Make the pitch change rate to 0: max., 127: min. The actual pitch transition time varies according to the interval between the two notes.
· Fixed Time: Make the actual pitch transition time to 0: min., 127: max. The pitch change rate varies according to the interval between the two notes.

Styles

Style Types (Characteristics) The particular type of Style is indicated above (or in the icon at the left of) the Style name on the Style Selection display or the Main display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.

· Adaptive: These Styles can be used with the Adaptive Style function in which the Main variation changes automatically depending on how dynamically you play the keyboard–without your needing to press the MAIN VARIATION buttons. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
· Unison: These Styles can be used with the Unison & Accent function, which lets you play in unison and/or add accents during Style playback. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
· Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate–or even harmonically correct–for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
· Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.

Playing Style with the Smart Chord feature

If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don’t know how to play the appropriate chords, set the Chord Fingering type to Smart Chord. This lets you control Styles with just a single finger, as long as you know the key of the music you’re playing–even if you don’t know any chord fingering such as major, minor, diminished and so on. Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single note, as if you were playing the “right” chords.
Try out the Smart Chord feature with the following sample score. Simply play the root notes of the chords indicated in this score with your left hand as you play the melody with your right hand, and listen to how the chords with their notes and voicings match the music genre you’ve set.

1 Unison& Accent, Auto Fill-in
[1 ]­ These are used for the Unison & Accent function. Refer to the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 3. [6 ] [7 ]/ Auto Fill In [8 ]

When this is set to On, pressing any of the MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] buttons as you play automatically plays a fill-in section.

2 Style Change Behavior [2 ]/ Section Set [3 ] [4 ]/ Tempo [5 ]

Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to Off and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the Main A­D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when Main D is not contained in the selected Style, Main C will be called up.
This determines whether the tempo setting of the Style changes or not when you change Styles.
· Lock: The previous tempo setting is always maintained. When the Style tempo is locked to the previous setting, a padlock icon appears above the Style name on the Main display.
· Hold: During Style playback, the previous tempo setting is maintained. When Style playback is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style.
· Reset: The tempo always changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style.

This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]­[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)
· Real Time: One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press MAIN VARIATION [A]­[D] buttons.

· Next Bar: One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press MAIN VARIATION [A]­[D] buttons.

[3 ]/ Intro/Ending Set Three different types of Intro/Ending sections are provided for each Style. [4 ]

This selects the Intro/Ending type.

Styles

NOTE The Intro 1 section consists of only the Rhythm part while Intro 2 and 3 consist of all the parts as well as the Rhythm part. When you play Intro 2 or 3, in order to have the complete Intro section sound properly, you need to play chords in the chord section with the [ACMP] turned on.
NOTE When 1 is selected here, if you press the [ENDING/rit.] button while the Style is playing, a fill-in automatically plays before the Ending section.

[5 ]/ Synchro Stop [6 ]

Turns the Synchro Stop function on/off. When this is set to On, you can start the Style anytime you want by simply playing the keys in the chord section of the keyboard, and stop the Style by releasing them. To use this function, make sure that the [ACMP] button is on.

NOTE When the Chord Fingering type is set to Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard, or when the Unison function is turned on, Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.

[7 ]/ ACMP On/Off [8 ] Default

Determines whether the [ACMP] button is on or off when the power is turned on.

2 Synchro Stop Timing, Stop ACMP

[3 ]/ Synchro Stop [4 ] Timing

This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically canceled. When Synchro Stop above is set to On, and this is set to a value other than Off, this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works.

24 DGX-670 Reference Manual

[5 ]/ Stop ACMP [6 ]

When the [ACMP] button is turned on and the [SYNC START] button is off, you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition– called “Stop Accompaniment”–any valid chord fingerings are recognized, and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
· Disabled: Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style playback is stopped, any pressed notes in the chord section of the keyboard will not be recognized as chords.
· Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
· Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad channel and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
· Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style.

NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to Style.
NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to Style, and only the chord data will be recorded when set to Off or Fixed.
NOTE When this is set to Disabled, chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. For this reason, Keyboard Harmony is not applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while the Style is stopped.

Realtime Recording
In the Basic page, you can record your original rhythm pattern from the keyboard.
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator · Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.
· Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 29) and Channel Delete (pages 29, 31). For example, if you start recording with a twomeasure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. See below for details. · Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phr (Phrase) channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). · Use only the chord tones when recording the Chd (Chord) and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

C = Chord note C R C C R C C, R = Recommended note
If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create special chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. · When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale. · When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C scale.

1 Groove This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the Section selected on the Basic page.

[1 ]/ Original Beat [2 ] [3 ]/ Beat Converter [4 ] [5 ] Swing
[6 ]/ Fine [7 ]

Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if 8 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th notes; if 12 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the Original Beat parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat is set to 8 Beat and Beat Converter is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when Original Beat is set to 12 Beat are variations on a basic 16th- note setting.
Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the Original Beat parameter above. For example, if the specified Original Beat value is 8 Beat, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The Push settings cause certain beats to be played early, while Heavy settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat–but not including the first beat–will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

Making Style File Format Settings (Parameter)

The instructions below apply to step 6 of the Basic Procedure on page 27. The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format. Setting the SFF related parameters determines how the original notes are converted to the actual sounded notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the keyboard. The conversion flow is shown below.

1 Source Root/Chord (Play Root/Chord)
IMPORTANT
The parameters here should be set before recording. If you change the settings after recording, the appropriate note conversion cannot be done even when you specify various chord types.

Before recording, you should set these parameters which determine what key is used for playing when you record the Source Pattern to the Bass, Chord, Pad or Phrase channel. If you set this to “Fm7,” your recorded original phrase (Source Pattern) will be triggered by specifying Fm7 during normal performance. CM7 (Source Chord Root = C and Source Chord Type = M7) is set by default. Depending on the settings here, the playable notes (chord notes and recommended scale notes) will differ. For details, see below.

When the Source Root is C:

Styles

C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes

NOTE When the parameters for the selected channel are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off, the parameters here are changed to Play Root instead of Source Root. In this case, you can hear the resulting sound while you change the Chord Root/Type during playback.
NOTE The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to Gtr.

2 NTR/NTT The settings here determine how the original notes of the Source Pattern are converted in response to the Chord change during normal performance.

[3 ] NTR (Note Trans- Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted

from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below.

[4 ]­ NTT (Note Trans- Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. [6 ] position Table) [7 ] Bass

The channel for which this is set to On will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to Gtr and this parameter is set to On, only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.

NOTE Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by chord changes, make sure that the parameters are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off. In this case, Source Root is changed to Play Root.

NTR (Note Transposition Rule)

Trans (Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines.

When playing a C major chord.

When playing an F major chord.

Fixed (Root Fixed)

The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts.

When playing a C major chord.

When playing an F major chord.

Gtr (Guitar)

This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.

NTT (Note Transposition Table) When NTR is set to Trans or Fixed

Bypass Melody

When NTR is set to Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note conver-

sion. When NTR is set to Trans, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining

the pitch relationship between notes. Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1

and Phrase 2.

Styles

Chord

Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.

Melodic Minor

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

Melodic Minor 5th

In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.

Harmonic Minor

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

Harmonic Minor In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished

chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

Natural Minor

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords such as in Intros and Endings.

Natural Minor 5th

In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

Dorian

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords such as in Intros and Endings.

2 Quick Start, Phrase Mark Repeat

[3 ]/ Quick Start [4 ]

On some commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the Song (such as Voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to On, the instrument reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possible speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data.

[5 ]/ Phrase Mark [6 ] Repeat

Phrase Mark is a pre-programmed part of some Song data, which specifies a certain location (set of measures) in the Song. When this is On, the sec-

5 Press the [ENTER] button to actually enter the edits for each display.
After the operation is completed, the “Execute –> [ENTER]” indication on the display changes to “Undo –> [ENTER],” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the operation results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.
6 Use the [8 ] (Save) buttons to carry out the Save operation.
For details, refer to “Basic Operations” in the Owner’s Manual.
NOTICE The edited Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn off the power to the instrument without carrying out the Save operation.
Quantize The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.

4

Songs

[1 ]/ Channel [2 ] [3 ]­ Size [5 ]

Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size.

Quarter-note length

After 1/8 note quantization

Settings:

1/4 note
1/4 note triplet

1/8 note
1/8 note triplet

1/16 note
1/16 note triplet

1/32 note
1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet*

1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet
1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighthnote triplets are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes–completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

56 DGX-670 Reference Manual

[6 ]/ Strength [7 ]

Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.

SW (Switch)

Turns the Noise Gate on or off.

TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.

Compressor This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer.

SW (Switch)

Turns Compressor on or off.

TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be applied.

Ratio

Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
