(Random)
Random
This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for each note you play. The higher the value, the greater
the pitch variation. A value of “0” results in no pitch change.
Settings:
0 ~ 127
PitchVelSns (VelSns)
Pitch Velocity Sensitivity
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the Pitch. Extreme values produce greater variation in PEG Depth.
Settings:
-64 ~ 0 ~ +63
FlwPchSns (FlwSns)
Pitch Key Follow Sensitivity
Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of adjacent notes). The CntrKy (Center
Key: next parameter) is used as the basic pitch for this parameter. At +100 (the normal setting), adjacent
notes are pitched one semitone (100 cents) apart. At 0, all notes are the same pitch. At +50, one octave is
stretched out over twenty-four notes. For negative values, the settings are reversed.
Settings:
-200 ~ 0 ~ +200
n
This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with sounds that do not need to be spaced in
semitones, such as pitched drum sounds in a Normal Voice.
FlwCntrKey (CntrKy)
Pitch Key Follow Sensitivity
Center Key
Determines the basic note for the “FlwSns”
parameter above. The note number set
here is the same pitch as normal,
regardless of the “FlwSns” setting.
Settings:
C -2 ~ G8
PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)
Hold Time (HoldTm)
PEG Hold Time
Makes all the time and level settings for the Pitch EG, which determine how the pitch of the sound changes
over time. You can control the transition in pitch from the moment the sound starts to the moment the sound
stops.
Settings:
HoldTm, AtkTm, Dcy1Tm, Dcy2Tm, RelTm: 0 ~ 127
HoldLv, AtkLv, Dcy1Lv, Dcy2Lv, RelLv: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127
Depth: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

PEG Time Velocity Sensitivity
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG’s Time parameters. Select the “Segmnt” (Segment) parameter,
then set its “TmVel” parameter. Positive “TmVel” settings will play back the specified Segment faster and
negative values will play it back slower. A negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings:
TmVel: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Settings:
Segmnt: atk, atk+dcy, dcy, atk+rls, all
atk (attack) ............................ ”TmVel” parameter affects Attack time.
atk+dcy ( decay)...... ”TmVel” parameter affects Attack/Decay1 time.
dcy (decay) ........................... "TmVel” parameter affects Decay time.
atk+rls ( release) ...... "TmVel” parameter affects Attack/Release time.
all ........................................... ”TmVel” affects all PEG Time parameters.

EGLvVelSns (LvlVel)
PEG Velocity Level Sensitivity
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG Level. Positive settings will cause the pitch change to rise the
harder you play the note, and negative values will cause it to fall. The “CrvVel” parameter lets you select
from five different preset velocity curves, that determine how velocity affects the “LvlVel”.
Settings:
LvlVel: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Settings:
CrvVel: 0 ~ 4

PEG Time Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Pitch EG
times of the selected Element. The “CntrKy” (Center Key, next parameter) is used as the basic pitch for this
parameter. A positive setting will cause the amplitude of lower notes to change slower and that of higher
notes to change faster. A negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings:
-64 ~ 0 ~ +63
FlwCntrKey (CntrKy)
PEG Time Key Follow
Sensitivity Center Key
Determines the central note for the “FlwSns”
parameter above. When the Center Key note is
played, the PEG behaves according to its actual
settings. The pitch change characteristics for
other notes will vary in proportion to the “TmVel”
parameter settings.
