→Create Own Voice
The 'Own Voice'-screen is structured as follows: on the left you see the 'Voice Bank' where 16 own voices are stored. You can walk up / down through this voice bank with the cursors. On the right, the register values of Own Voices are displayed. If you press the space, you can change these values so that your own instrument can be created.
==== The sound-forming functions ====
It would be going too far to explain the complete functioning of FM synthesis in this manual. That is why we will suffice with a short description of all functions.
Multi Sample Wave: this sets the generator frequency. Values: 0 to 15.
Key Scale Rate: The swelling, waning and extinction of the tones goes faster as the octave is higher. How much faster is this function determined. Values: 0 (slow) to 7 (fast).
Vibrato: on (1) and off (0) setting the vibration of an instrument.
Amplitude modulation: switches on the slow amplitude modulation (1) or off (0).
Total Level: For FM Synthesis, the total level of register A is the controller for the modulation depth, and register B controls the volume of the instrument. In the AM Mode, both registers control the volume.
Key Scale Level: This function controls the decrease in volume with increasing pitch, so the higher the KSL the softer the instrument becomes at high tones. Values: 0 to 3.
Percussion: 1 = percussion off, 0 = percussion on. For the function of percussion he has to look at the Sustain Level.
Attack Rate: This function sets the swell times of a tone. Values: 0 to 15.
Decay Rate: The decrease in the intensity of the tone after the maximum concentration is achieved can be set with this function. Values: 0 to 15.
Sustain Level: If the percussion is off, this is the loudness at which the tone falls back (Decay) after the maximum swallowing strength (Attack) has been reached. However, if the percussion is on, this is the loudness at which the drop will turn into extinction (Release). Values: 0 to 15.
Release Rare: The decay time is set with this function. If the Release Rate is set to 0, the tone will continue forever. Values 0 to 15.
Feedback: Allows the waveform of register A to be set. If the value is 0, the wave is a pure sine, with the values 1 to 5 this wave becomes an increasingly sharp sawtooth, 6 and 7 contain noise.
Connect: Choice of FM and AM mode. The MSX-MUSIC can not use this function.
Audition: MSX-MUSIC or MSX-AUDIO. Indicates which music chip the voice can be listened to during editing.
Note: if you have changed a particular voice, it will only become part of the song
companion if you choose it again with Select Voices.
