You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of the
following five elements.
Cutoff:
Adjusts how much the filter is opened.
Resonance:
This boosts the portions in the region around the
cutoff frequency, lending a particular quality to the
sound. Excessively high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
Attack Time:
The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound
to reach full volume.
Decay Time:
The time it is to take following the attack for the
volume to decrease.
Release Time:
The time it takes after the key is released for a sound
to become inaudible.
Making abrupt changes in the settings values may cause the
sound to become distorted or overly loud. Carefully monitor
volume levels while making the settings.
The effect may not be apparent with some tones, even when the
value is changed.
This sets the depth of the reverb effect for each tone.
When this value is set to “0,” no effect is applied even when
[REVERB] is pressed.
You can also make the setting by holding down [REVERB] and
adjusting the ZONE LEVEL slider.

Parameter
Value Description
Cutoff
-64–0– +63
Higher values brighten the sound;
lower values make the sound seem
darker.
Resonance
-64–0– +63 Higher value makes the special
quality of the sound stronger;
lower value reduce these charac-
teristics.
Attack Time -64–0– +63
Higher values produce a milder at-
tack; lower values produce a sharper
attack.
Decay Time
-64–0– +63 The time it takes for the volume to
fall increases as the value is
raised; lowering the value de-
creases the decay time.
Release Time -64–0– +63
Higher values produce longer decay;
set lower values for a clear-cut sound.
