velocity data of higher than 64 is received. For velocity to have any effect on volume,
reduce the VCA LEVEL to less than 100%.
AFTERTOUCH
FILTER
Adjusts how aftertouch data affects filter cutoff. Turning the knob clockwise from 0
will produce a positive effect; when note is pressed harder it causes the filter cutoff to
have increase, making the note brighter. Turning the knob counterclockwise from 0
will have the opposite effect; notes pressed harder cause the filter cutoff to decrease,
making the note more muted.
AFTERTOUCH
AMPLIFIER
Adjusts how aftertouch data affects oscillator volume. Turning the knob clockwise
from 0 causes a note pressed harder to make it louder. Turning it counterclockwise
from 0 will have the opposite effect.
NOTE: The default volume level that applies to minimum MIDI aftertouch data is set in
VOICE > VCA LEVEL in settings menu. If this is set to 100%, volume will not increase
further with aftertouch. For aftertouch to have any effect on volume, reduce the VCA
LEVEL to less than 100%.
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE
Amplifier Envelope knobs adjust the amplitude and timing of individual sections of the volume curve
from the moment each note is played.
ATTACK
Adjusts the time it takes for the note’s volume to reach a full level after a note is
struck. A setting of 10 takes about 7 seconds.
