6 Pitch Key Follow
Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the
pitch interval of adjacent notes), assuming the pitch of the
Center Key (7) as standard. At +100% (the normal
setting), adjacent notes are pitched one semitone (100
cents) apart. At 0%, all notes are the same pitch specified
as the Center Key. 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.
7 Center Key
Determines the central note or pitch for the Pitch Key
Follow. The note number set here is the same pitch as
normal regardless of the Pitch Key Follow setting.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the note directly from the Keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] button and pressing the desired key.
See “Basic Operation” on page 82.
Pitch Key Follow and Center Key
From this display you can set the Pitch EG parameters.
Using the PEG, you can control the transition in pitch from
the moment the sound starts to the moment it stops.
Time
The Time parameters let you set the time between the
adjoining points of the level parameters below. A higher
value results in a longer time until reaching the next level.
Settings: 0 – 127
1 Hold Time
Determines the time between the moment you press a note
on the keyboard and the moment the envelope starts to
rise.
2 Attack Time
Determines the speed of attack from the initial pitch (Hold
Level) to the normal pitch of the Voice after the hold time
has elapsed.
3 Decay 1 Time
Determines how fast the envelope falls from the normal
pitch (Attack Level) of the Voice to the pitch specified as
the Decay 1 Level.
4 Decay 2 Time
Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch
specified as the Decay1 Level to the pitch specified as the
Decay2 Level.
5 Release Time
Determines how fast the envelope falls from the pitch
specified as the Decay2 Level to the pitch specified as the
Release Level when the note is released.
Level
The Level parameters let you set the amount of the pitch
deviation based on the standard pitch specified at the
Coarse Tuning and Fine Tuning in the Tune display
(page 114) at each envelope point.
Settings: -128 – +0 – +127
6 Hold Level
Determines the initial pitch at the moment the note is
pressed.
