[SF3] PEG
(Pitch Envelope Generator)
From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Pitch EG, which determine how the pitch of the
sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on
the keyboard to the moment the sound stops.
The full names of the available parameters are shown in the chart below, as they appear in the display.
Settings: TIME: 0 ~ 127
LEVEL: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127
DEPTH: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
n For details on the PEG, see page 160.
[SF4] KEY FLW (Key Follow)
From this display you can set the Key Follow effect – in other words, how the pitch of the Element and its Pitch EG
respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.
PitchSens (Pitch Sensitivity) Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of adjacent notes).
At +100 (the normal setting), adjacent notes are pitched one semitone (100 cents) apart. At 0, all notes are the same
pitch. At +50, one octave is stretched out over twenty-four notes. For negative values, the settings are reversed.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~ +200
n This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones,
such as pitched drum sounds in a Normal Voice.
FCenterKey
Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on pitch. The note number set here is the same pitch as
normal regardless of the Pitch Sensitivity setting. Depending on the Pitch Sensitivity parameter above, the further
away from the Center Key the keys are played, the greater the degree of pitch change.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
n You can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing the
desired key. Refer to the Basic Operation section, page 53.
EGTimeSens
(EG Time Sensitivity)
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Pitch EG times of
the selected Element. The Center Key (next parameter) is used as the basic pitch for this parameter.
A positive setting will cause the pitch of lower notes to change slower and that of higher notes to change faster.
Negative values will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~+63
FCenterKey
Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on Pitch EG.
When the Center Key note is played, the PEG behaves according to its actual settings. The pitch change
characteristics for other notes will vary in proportion to the EG Time settings.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
n You can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing the
desired key. Refer to the Basic Operation on page 53.
[F3] FILTER
[SF1] TYPE
From this display you can make comprehensive settings for the Filter unit. The available parameters differ
depending on which Filter type is selected here. For more information on the Filter types as well as illustrations of
each type, refer to page 161.
Type Basically, there are four different Filter types: an LPF (Low Pass Filter), an HPF (High Pass Filter), a BPF (Band Pass
Filter) and a BEF (Band Elimination Filter). Each type has a different frequency response and produces a different
effect on the sound. This synthesizer also features special combination Filter types, for additional sonic control.
Settings: Refer to page 209.
Gain Determines the Gain (the amount of boost applied to the signal sent to the Filter).
Settings: 0 ~ 255
Cutoff Determines the cutoff frequency for the Filter, or the central frequency around which the Filter is applied.
Settings: 0 ~ 255
