Setting example of Filter Scaling
The best way to understand Filter Scaling is by example. For
the settings shown in the example display below, the basic
Cutoff frequency value is 64, and the various Offset values at
the selected Break point settings change that basic value
accordingly. The specific changes to the Cutoff frequency are
shown in the diagram below. The Cutoff frequency changes in
a linear fashion between successive Break Points as shown.
Output Level settings—[F4] Amplitude
1 Level*
Determines the output level of the Element.
Settings: 0 – 127
2 Level Velocity Sens (Level Velocity Sensitivity)*
Determines how the output level of the Element responds
to velocity. Positive settings will cause the output level to
rise the harder you play the keyboard. A setting of 0 will
cause the output level not to change. Negative settings will
cause the output level to rise the more softly you play the
keyboard.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
3 Level Velocity Sens Offset
(Level Velocity Sensitivity Offset)
Raises or lowers the level specified at the Level Velocity
Sensitivity (2). A setting of 64 results in the original values
of the Level Velocity Sensitivity (2) being used. Settings
above 64 will raise the level specified at the Level Velocity
Sensitivity (2). Settings below 64 will reduce the level.
Settings: 0 – 127
4 Level Velocity Sens Curve
(Level Velocity Sensitivity Curve)*
The five curves determine how the actual velocity will be
generated according to the velocity (strength) with which
you play notes on the keyboard. The selected curve is
indicated by the graphic on the display.
Settings: Curve 0 – 4
5 Level Key Follow
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically,
their position or octave range) affect the amplitude level
(set above) of the selected Element, assuming C3 as the
basic pitch. A positive setting will lower the output level for
lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A negative setting
will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -200% – +0% – +200%
6 Center Key (Indication only)
This indicates that the central note for Level Key Follow (5)
above is C3. Keep in mind that this is for display purposes
only; the value cannot be changed.
Level Key Follow and Center Key
7 Pan*
Adjusts the stereo pan position of the sound.
Settings: L63 (far left) – C (center) – R63 (far right)
