●

Resonance

Range: 0 — 63

This determines the amount of filter resonance or emphasis
of the Filter Cutoff Frequency parameter below. Higher
values increase the emphasis of the Filter Cutoff Frequency,
producing a higher resonant peak, while lower values
produce a relatively flat response.

●

Rate Velocity Sensitivity (Sens.Rate)

Range: -7 — +7

This determines the degree to which the Filter EG Rate is
affected by velocity. For a setting of 0, velocity has no
effect on the Filter EG Rate. For positive settings, the
stronger you play, the faster the filter changes (shorter EG
rates). For negative settings, the softer you play, the faster
the filter changes.

●

Level Velocity Sensitivity (Sens.Level)

Range: -7 — +7

This determines the degree to which the Filter EG Level is
affected by velocity. For a setting of 0, velocity has no
effect on the Filter EG Level. For positive settings, the
stronger you play, the more effect the filter has on the
sound (higher EG levels). For negative settings, the softer
you play, the more effect the filter has on the sound (lower
EG levels).

●

Cutoff Frequency

Range: 0 — 127

This determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, or the
frequency point above which other frequencies are filtered
out. Lower cutoff values create a deeper, more rounded
tone, while higher values create a thinner, brighter tone.

Filter EG Rate Parameters (Rate)

The Filter EG (envelope generator) parameters allow you to
shape how the tone or timbre of the Voice changes over
time. By pressing

from this page, you can select the

graphic Filter EG Edit page, for more detailed editing of
the Filter EG parameters. (See page 55.)

Keep in mind that the EG parameters affect each other, and
are affected by how long a note is held. For example, if
Decay is set to a low value and the note is held for a long
time, you may not be able to hear changes made to the
Release parameter. Also keep in mind that the EG param-
eters may have little or no effect, depending on the particu-
lar Voice selected.

Attack Rate (Flt EG Atk Rate)

Range: 0 — 63

This determines the Attack rate of the Filter EG, or how
long it takes for the filter to “open up” or reach full effect,
after a note is played.

Decay 1 Rate (Flt EG Dcy1 Rate)

Range: 0 — 63

This determines the first Decay rate of the Filter EG. This
determines how rapidly the filter setting goes to the Decay
1 Level value. (See page 56.)

Decay 2 Rate (Flt EG Dcy2 Rate)

Range: 0 — 63

This determines the second Decay rate of the Filter EG.
This determines how rapidly the filter setting goes to the
Decay 2 Level value. (See page 56.)

Release Rate (Flt EG Rel Rate)

Range: 0 — 63

This determines the Release rate of the Filter EG, or how
long the filter effect sustains after a note is released.

Mute status for each Element (1 - 4).
