PITCH
The PITCH stage determines the pitch of the sound. In addition to allowing the pitch of the voice
to be controlled from the keyboard or via MIDI note data, it allows pitch control from the pitch
bend wheel, keyboard aftertouch, or any other assignable controller. The PITCH stage also includes
programmable pitch envelope generators which can be programmed to produce time-based pitch
variation, as well as key scaling parameters which can be used to produce different tuning curves.
AWM PITCH parameter details begin on page 83.
VL PITCH parameter details begin on page 108.
AN PITCH parameter details begin on page 117.
FILTER
This stage controls the filters provided for the selected tone generator type, and thus allows both
static and dynamic timbral control. Dynamic filters can be set to respond to keyboard touch
response or other controllers, while filter envelope generators can produce time-based timbral
variation. The type and number of filter parameters available varies considerably according to the
selected tone generator type.
AWM FILTER parameter details begin on page 86.
VL FILTER parameter details begin on page 109.
AN FILTER parameter details begin on page 118.
AMPLITUDE
This stage includes all parameters which affect the amplitude or volume level of the sound,
including basic level control, touch dynamics, keyboard level scaling, and amplitude envelope
generation.
AWM AMPLITUDE parameter details begin on page 96.
VL AMPLITUDE parameter details begin on page 110.
