The functions in the filter menu are:

This function lets you choose whether the filter has the same effect across the entire note

range or has a different effect on the lower and higher notes. This function is applied as a percentage of note
change. The selections are:

The keyboard tracking is off and so the filter’s effect will be the same across all notes.

The keyboard tracking is now on. The filter will now open increasingly less for the low notes

and more for the high notes until the effect is at its maximum when the level is set to 150%. There are two negative
settings included,

where the filter will open less for the

notes and more for the

notes.

This function allows you to select the filter resonance modulation source. The

selections are:

The output of envelope 1 will modulate the filter resonance

The output of envelope 2 will modulate the filter resonance

The output of LFO1 will modulate the filter resonance

The output of LFO2 will modulate the filter resonance

To select a different menu function, use the [MENU UP] and [MENU DOWN] buttons.

To EXIT filter menu mode, simply press the [FILTER] MENU button and check that the indicator goes out.

The centrally mounted joystick offers huge creative potential. You can assign parameters such as filter frequency
/resonance to the joystick for added creative expression and ‘on-the-fly’ editing of two elements simultaneously.
The joystick can also be switched off to avoid accidental voice editing if the joystick is nudged during a
performance. The joystick operates in parallel to the labelled front panel controls.

For a list of functions and how to change the joystick settings please see the UTILITY section on page 30.
