Filter Scale

This controls the Filter Cutoff Frequency according to the positions of the notes on the 
keyboard. You can divide the entire keyboard by setting four Break Points, and assign different 
Cutoff Frequency Offset values to these Break Points. The Cutoff Frequency changes in a 
linear fashion between successive Break Points.

Table 1 and Figure 30 show an example in which the basic Cutoff Frequency value is 64 and 
the various Offset values of the Break Points change that basic value accordingly.

Key

Determines the central note or pitch for EG Time Key Follow.
When the Center Key note is played, the Filter EG behaves according to 
its actual settings.
