Chapter 5. Parameter Guide
These settings determine the waveform and volume of the
synth sound, adjust filters, and affect other aspects of the
sound.
SHAPE
Selects the wave type on which the synth sound is based.
SAW:
Creates a synth sound with a sawtooth waveform.
SQUARE:
Creates a synth sound with a square waveform.
SENS (sensitivity) [0–100]
This controls the input sensitivity of the wave synth.
ATTACK [0–100]
Adjusts the time it takes for the synth sound to rise after a
string is plucked. When it is set to a lower value, the sound
will rise quickly. When it is set higher, the sound will rise
slowly.
DECAY [0–100]
Adjusts the time it takes for the synth sound to decay.
The synth sound decays more quickly when this parameter is
set to a lower value. Setting a higher value increases the
decay time.
LEVEL [0–100]
Adjusts the volume of the synth sound.
CUTOFF [0–100]
This adjusts the frequency at which the filter cuts off the
sound’s harmonic components (the cutoff frequency).
This parameter determines the sound that will result after the
filter has stopped varying due to F.DEPTH.
RESO (resonance) [0–100]
This sets the degree of resonance (distinctiveness) of the
sound. A higher value results in a sound that is more unique
and extraordinary.
F.TYPE (filter type) [-12 dB, -24 dB]
Selects the level of attenuation in the filter. The -24 dB setting
has very steep filtering characteristics.
F.ATTACK (filter attack) [0–100]
Sets the TVF attack time.
F.DECAY (filter decay) [0–100]
Adjusts the time for the modulation of the filtering from
F.ATTACK and F.DEPTH to stabilize.
F.DEPTH (filter depth) [-50–+50]
This adjusts the depth of the filter. When the value is higher,
the filter will change more drastically. The polarity of the
filter will be opposite with “+” and “-.”
