Basics Section (page 26) and the Reference Section (page

waveforms on which the Voice is based. You can
select the Wave used for the Element, the volume
and note range of each Element and so on.

key independently via the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT
jacks by using the OutputSel parameter (No. 96, on

Element. Also, by setting the PEG, you can control
how the pitch changes over time.
Filter, FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)
For changing the tonal characteristics of each
Element, by adjusting overtones included in the
waveform of the Element. You can also set the FEG
for time variance of how the filter works— in other
words, dynamically change the tone and timbre of
the sound over time.
AMP (Amplitude), AEG
(Amplitude Envelope Generator)
For setting the volume of each Element after the
OSC (Oscillator), PITCH and FILTER parameters
have been applied, as well as the final overall
volume of the signal sent to the outputs. Also, by
setting the AEG, you can control how the volume
changes over time.
