Editing the Tones (TONE)
WAVE SYNTH
Parameter Value Description
TYPE #
SAW This is an analog-synth type sound suitable for leads.
SQUARE This is an analog-synth type sound suitable for backing.
COLOR # 0–100 Adjusts the tone quality. Increasing this value makes the sound brighter.
FILTER BASS
Parameter Value Description
FILTER CUTOFF # 0–100
Adjusts the cuto frequency, setting the brightness (hardness) of the sound. The sound gets brighter
(harder) as the value is raised.
FILTER RESO # 0–100
Adjusts the resonance (distinctiveness of the sound). As the value is increased, sounds in the frequency
range near the cuto frequency are boosted, making the sound more distinctive and unique.
FILTER DECAY 0–100
This sets the speed at which the lter stops. The speed increases as the value of the setting is reduced.
* The FILTER DECAY eect cannot be obtained if the TOUCH SENS value is too low.
TOUCH SENS 0–100
This sets the sensitivity when the lter is shifted according to the playing. The shifting of the lter
caused by the playing increases as the value is raised.
When the value is set to “0,” the lter remains set, with no movement.
COLOR # 0–100 Adjusts the strength of the low range. As the value is increased, the low range will become stronger.
CRYSTL
Parameter Value Description
ATTACK LENGTH 0–100 This sets the decay time for the attack portion of the sound. A smaller setting results in a shorter attack.
MOD TUNE 0–100 This sets the tuning for the modulation applied to the attack.
MOD DEPTH # 0–100 This sets the depth of the modulation applied to the attack. Larger values result in deeper undulations.
ATTACK LEVEL # 0–100 This sets the volume level of the attack portion.
BODY LEVEL # 0–100 This sets the volume level for the sustained portion of the sound.
SUSTAIN 0–100
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are boosted. Larger values will result in longer
sustain.
ORGAN
Parameter Value Description
FEET16 # 0–100 This is a long tone at the same pitch as the guitar.
FEET8 # 0–100 This is a long tone one octave higher than the guitar.
FEET4 # 0–100 This is a long tone two octave higher than the guitar.
SUSTAIN 0–100
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are boosted. Larger values will result in longer
sustain.
BRASS
Parameter Value Description
FILTER CUTOFF # 0–100
Adjusts the cuto frequency, setting the brightness (hardness) of the sound. The
sound gets brighter (harder) as the value is raised.
FILTER RESO # 0–100
Adjusts the resonance (distinctiveness of the sound). As the value is increased, sounds in the frequency
range near the cuto frequency are boosted, making the sound more distinctive and unique.
TOUCH SENS # 0–100
This sets the sensitivity when the lter is shifted according to the playing. The shifting of the lter
caused by the playing increases as the value is raised.
When the value is set to “0,” the lter remains set, with no movement.
SUSTAIN 0–100
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are boosted. Larger values will result in longer
sustain.
