Explanation
CHROMATIC
OFF, ON
Turn this “ON” if you want to play
tones in semitone increments.
If this is “ON,” the pitch will change
in semitone steps even when you
bend notes.
PORTA SW
OFF, ON
Specifies whether portamento is
applied.
When this is set to ON, you can
create a smooth change in pitch
from one note to the next.
PORTA TIME
0–100
Specifies the time required for
the pitch change when using
portamento.
Larger values lengthen the time
during which the pitch of the next
note is reached.
PORTA MODE
*2
Selects how portamento is applied.
MODE1
The portamento effect is applied
starting at the final pitch sounded
by each string.
MODE2
The portamento effect is applied
starting at the final pitch sounded,
regardless of the string that was
played.
HOLD MODE
Specifies the operation of the Hold function using
CONTROL FUNCTION and ASSIGN FUNCTION.
* In order to use the Hold function, make settings
for “CONTROL FUNCTION” (p. 67) and “ASSIGN
MODE1
Notes that are newly played while
Hold is on will also be held.
MODE2
Newly played notes are not
accepted while Hold is on.
MODE3
While Hold is on, notes newly
played on a string that’s being
held are accepted.
LOW VELO CUT
OFF, 1–10
Adjust this if simply touching
a string causes a note to be
unintentionally triggered. Raising
this value will make it more
difficult to trigger notes.
*1 Valid when the WAVEFORM1 or WAVEFORM2 is set to PWM.
*2 Valid when the MONO/POLY SW is set to POLY.
FILTER
Sound consists of numerous overtones at various frequencies. By
using a filter to pass or cut the overtones of specific frequency
regions, you can modify the brightness of the sound.
In the FILTER section you can modify the brightness of the sound
by changing the type of filter and applying various changes to the
output waveform.
Parameter
Value
Explanation
ON/OFF
OFF, ON
Switches filter on/off.
TYPE
Type of filter
LPF
The region above the cutoff
frequency will be cut, making the
sound more mellow.
HPF
The region below the cutoff
frequency will be cut, emphasizing
the high-frequency range.
BPF
It passes only the range of
frequencies in the region of the
cutoff frequency, cutting the other
frequencies.
PKG
Boosts the range of frequencies in
the region of the cutoff frequency.
LADDER LPF
A ladder-type low-pass filter.
LADDER HPF
A ladder-type high-pass filter.
SLOPE
*1
-12 dB, -24 dB Selects the slope (steepness) of the
low-pass filter.
CUTOFF
0–100
Adjusts the cutoff frequency.
CUTOFF
FOLLOW
0–100
Specifies how the cutoff frequency
will be affected by the note
position.
RESONANCE
0–100
Resonance emphasizes the sound
in the region of the filter cutoff
frequency.
Increasing the resonance setting
will increase this emphasis,
producing a distinctive sound that
is characteristic of synthesizers.
VELOCITY
SENS
-50–+50
Specifies how the filter envelope
depth is affected by your picking
dynamics.
F. ENV ATTACK
0–100
Specifies the attack/decay/sustain
level/ release time of the filter
envelope.
F. ENV DECAY
0–100
F. ENV
SUSTAIN
0–100
F. ENV
RELEASE
0–100
F. ENV DEPTH
-50–+50
Specifies the depth and direction of
the cutoff frequency change.
Higher values make the cutoff
frequency move upward.
Lower values make the cutoff
frequency move downward.
*1 Valid when the TYPE is set to LPF, HPF, BPF, or PKG.
