Section 9 — Program Parameters TS-10 Musician’s Manual

OCTAVE Range: -4 to +4 octaves

Changes the pitch of the voice by octaves.

SEMITONE Range: -11 to +11

Changes the pitch of the voice by semitones. Incrementing/decrementing this control beyond

+11 or -11 automatically increases/decreases the octave by one.

FINE Range: -99 to +99

Fine-tunes the pitch of the voice by steps of one cent (1/100 of a semitone).

GLIDEMODE Range: (described below)

Enables Glide (portamento) and several forms of monophonic voice assignment in each voice.

There are six GLIDE modes available:

For monophonic voice assignment without glide, set GLIDEMODE to LEGATO, TRIGGER, or

MINIMODE, and set TIME=0.

• NONE — Glide is off. This is normal polyphonic operation, with no portamento.

• PEDAL — Enables the sustain pedal to start polyphonic glide. In this mode, the glide and

polyphony are controlled by the sustain pedal. When the pedal is up, there is no glide and the

voice is fully polyphonic. When the sustain pedal is depressed, the glide is enabled, and the

polyphony is limited to the number of notes being sounded at the moment. For example, with

the pedal up play a three-note chord. Press the sustain pedal and lift your fingers off the keys

(the three notes will sustain). Now press another key: one of these sustaining notes will be

stolen and will glide to the new note. The envelopes and waves are retriggered, or restarted,

each time there is a new key down. Holding a key down will prevent the note from being

stolen. This allows controlled voice leading.

• MONO — Similar to mono mode on old analog synths. The voice will play with one-note

polyphony, and new notes will always glide from the previous note. The envelopes and

waves are always retriggered, or restarted, each time there is a new key down.

• LEGATO — Enables monophonic voice assignment, allowing only one note of polyphony to

be active in the voice. If a key is depressed before another is released (i.e.: if you play legato),

the voice will glide from the old note to the new one. If you play a key with no other keys

down (i.e.: if you play staccato), the voice will not glide. The envelopes and waves are

retriggered, or restarted, from the beginning each time there is a new key down.

• TRIGGER — This mode plays monophonically, with the envelopes and waves retriggering, or

restarting, each time there is a new key down. This mode works just like LEGATO mode,

except that it has no “note memory”. It is ideal for adding monophonic piano “thuds” to

piano sounds.

• MINIMODE — This mode plays with one-voice polyphony, and new notes will glide from the

previous note if the previous note is still held. Unlike the PEDAL, MONO, LEGATO or

TRIGGER modes, the envelopes and waves are only restarted from the beginning when you

play a key with no other keys down (i.e.: if you play staccato).

Note: MONO, LEGATO and MINIMODE feature “note memory.” If you release a key while still

holding down another key, the pitch will glide back to the note you are holding. Holding down

the sustain pedal will dynamically disable note memory.
