Resonance/Width
This parameter’s function varies according to the selected Filter Type. If the selected filter is an LPF, HPF, BPF (excluding
the BPFw), or BEF, this parameter is used to set the Resonance. For the BPFw, it is used to adjust the Width of the band.
Resonance is used to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis) applied to the signal at the cutoff frequency.
This can be used in combination with the cutoff frequency parameter to add further character to the sound. The Width
parameter is used to adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies passed by the filter with the BPFw.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Distance Determines the distance between the Cutoff frequencies, for the Dual Filter types (which feature two identical filters
combined in parallel, and the LPF12 + BPF6 type).
Settings: 0 ~ 255
HPFCutoff Determines the central frequency for the Key Follow parameter (below) of the HPF. When a filter type “LPF12” or
“LPF6” is selected, this parameter is available.
Settings: 0 ~ 255
HPFKeyFlw (Key Follow) Determines the Key Follow setting for the HPF Cutoff frequency. This parameter varies the center frequency
according to the position of the notes played on the keyboard. A positive setting will raise the center frequency for
higher notes and lower it for lower notes. A negative setting will have the opposite effect. When a filter type “LPF12”
or “LPF6” is selected, this parameter is available.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~ +200
[SF2] VEL SENS
(Velocity Sensitivity)
From this display you can determine how the Filter and the FEG respond to velocity.
EGTime,
Segment
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG’s Time parameters.
Select the Segment first, then set its Time parameter. Positive Time settings will play back the specified Segment
faster in proportion to the played velocity and negative values will play it back slower.
Settings: EG Time -64 ~0 ~+63
Settings: Segment: atk, atk+dcy, dcy, atk+rls, all
atk (attack).............................EG Time Value affects Attack time.
atk+dcy (attack + decay) ......EG Time Value affects Attack/Decay1 time.
dcy (decay)............................EG Time Value affects Decay time.
atk+rls (attack + release).......EG Time Value affects Attack/Release time.
all ..........................................EG Time Value affects all FEG Time parameters.
EGDepth,
Curve
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG Level.
For positive settings, the more strongly you play the keyboard, the more Filter changes the sound. Negative settings
do the opposite; the more softly you play, the more the sound changes. The Curve parameter lets you select from
five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how velocity affects the
Filter EG.
Settings: EGDepth: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Settings: Curve: 0 ~ 4
Cutoff Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Cutoff frequency of the Filter EG. For positive values, the more
strongly you play the keys, the greater the change in the Cutoff frequency. Negative values do the opposite; the
more softly you play, the greater the change in frequency.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Resonance Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Resonance of the Filter EG. For positive values, the more
strongly you play the keys, the greater the Resonance change. Negative values do the opposite; the more softly you
play, the greater the change in Resonance.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
[SF3] FEG
(Filter Envelope Generator)
From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Filter EG, which determine how the tonal quality
of the sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in Cutoff Frequency 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 FEG, see page 161.
[SF4] KEY FLW (Key Follow)
From this display you can set the Key Follow effect for the Filter – in other words, how the tonal qualities of the
Element and its Filter EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.
CutoffSens (Cutoff Sensitivity) Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Filter of the selected
Element. A Center Key setting (next parameter) of C3 is used as the basic setting by the Cutoff parameter. A positive
setting will lower the Cutoff frequency for lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A negative setting will have the
opposite effect.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~ +200
