[. . . ] yes yes yes no Foot Controller 1 and 2 The DX7s provides memory space to set the operation of two Foot Controllers. Foot Controller 1 also has a new parameter possibility. It can be set to control the same Voice parameter as that of Continuous Slider 1. (For more on the available settings for CS 1, see Section 3 of this manual. ) Since CS 1 operates in Performance Mode, this use of Foot Controller 1 is also confined to Performance Mode. - 55 - Pitch Bias With the new Pitch Bias feature you can use After Touch or the Breath Controller to control the pitch of a voice. When Pitch Bias is set to 0, there is no pitch change. Positive Pitch Bias settings result in an upward bend, while negative Pitch Bias settings cause the pitch to bend down. The range is -50 ~ +50. - 56 - Fractional Scaling One of the most important aspects of DX7 voicing is Level Scaling, which allows adjustment of each operator's output over the range of the keyboard. The DX7s offers the possibility of even more subtle control over operator outputs, through Fractional Scaling. Fractional Scaling and Level Scaling Although the DX7's Level Scaling offers a great deal of interaction between timbre and frequency, Fractional Scaling offers even greater precision. The level can be set independently in groups of three notes, over the entire range of the keyboard. To provide even more control, the resolution of the level settings has been expanded from 0 ~ 99 to 0 ~ 255: Fractional Scaling allows you to adjust the output level of each operator for three-note groups.

Both of the these buttons call up multiple LCD displays. To understand how the various memory storage possibilities interact, read on. Internal Memory The DX's Internal Memory holds a standard Voice & Performance Memory block, which consists of the following: 64 Voice Memories, 32 Performance Memories, 1 System Setup Memory, and 2 User-defined Micro Tuning Memories. Voice & Performance Memory can also be stored in Cartridge Memory. Cartridge Memory A DX RAM4 cartridge can store three different types of data: Voice & Performance, Fractional Scaling, and Micro Tuning. The RAM4 Voice & Performance Memory is equivalent to the Internal Voice & Performance Memory. The RAM4 Fractional Scaling Memory holds up to 64 Fractional Scalings, which are tied to the 64 Voices in the DX's Internal Memory. The RAM4 Micro Tuning Memory holds up to 63 Micro Tunings. The RAM4 cartridge can be used to store one of three possible kinds of data. - 66 - ROM Cartridge The supplied ROM cartridge contains 4 banks, which can be accessed using button 15 in Edit Mode: The supplied ROM cartridge holds a number of different kinds of DX memory. The first two banks are Cartridge Voice and Performance data. The third bank contains Fractional Scaling data, and the fourth bank has the original Internal Voice and Performance data. Banks 1 and 2 can be loaded to the Internal memory, but if you try to choose a Performance, you will still need to have the cartridge inserted. This happens because the Performance memories are calling Cartridge Voices. For instance, the first Performance in ROM Cartridge bank 1, SolidStrg, calls up voice C12 (cartridge voice 12). If you want to load the original Voice and Performance data into the Internal memory, you will have to load from bank 4 of the ROM Cartridge.
