$ EG Time Velocity Sens
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines how the FEG transition time (speed) responds
to velocity, or the strength with which the note is pressed.
When this is set to a positive value, high velocities result in
a fast FEG transition speed while low velocities result in a
slow speed, as shown below. When this is set to a negative
value, high velocities result in a slow FEG transition speed
while low velocities result in a fast speed. When this is set
to 0, the pitch transition speed does not change no matter
what the velocity.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
% EG Time Velocity Sens Segment
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity Segment)
Determines the part of the Filter EG which the EG Time
Velocity Sensitivity ($) affects.
Settings: attack, atk+dcy, decay, atk+rls, all
attack
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time and Hold Time.
atk+dcy (attack+decay)
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time, Decay1 Time,
and Hold Time.
decay
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Decay 1/2 Time.
atk+rls (attack+release)
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time, Release Time,
and Hold Time.
all
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects all the Filter EG Time
parameters.
^ EG Time Key Follow
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically,
their position or octave range) affect the Filter EG times of
the selected Element. When this is set to a positive value,
high notes result in a fast Filter EG transition speed while
low notes result in a slow speed. When this is set to a
negative value, high velocities result in a slow Filter EG
transition speed while low notes result in a fast speed.
When this is set to 0, the Filter EG transition speed does not
change no matter what note is pressed.
Settings: -200% – 0% – +200%
& Center Key
Determines the central note or pitch for the EG Time Key
Follow (^). When the Center Key note is played, the FEG
behaves according to its actual settings.
Settings: C -2 – G8
EG Time Key Follow and Center Key
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.
Filter Scaling controls the filter cutoff frequency according
to the positions of the notes on the keyboard. You can
divide the entire keyboard by four break points, and assign
different offset values of Cutoff Frequency to them
respectively.
14 Break Point 1 – 4
Determines the four Break Points by specifying the note
numbers respectively.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the Break Point directly from the keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] INFO button and pressing the desired
key. See “Basic Operation” on page 82.
n Break Point 1 to Break Point 4 will be automatically be
arranged in ascending order across the keyboard.
58 Offset 1 – 4
Determines the offset value to the Cutoff Frequency at each
Break Point.
Settings: -128 – +0 – +127
n Regardless of the size of these Offsets, the minimum and
maximum Cutoff limits (values of 0 and 127, respectively)
cannot be exceeded.
n Any note played below the Break Point 1 note results in the
Break Point 1 Level setting. Likewise, any note played above
the Break Point 4 note results in the Break Point 4 Level
setting.
