HPFKeyFlw (Key Follow) Determines the Key Follow setting for the HPF Cutoff frequency. This parameter varies the center frequency
according to the position of the notes played on the keyboard. A positive setting will raise the center frequency
for higher notes and lower it for lower notes. A negative setting will have the opposite effect. This parameter is
available only when the filter type “LPF12” or “LPF6” is selected.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~ +200
[SF2] VEL SENS
(Velocity Sensitivity)
From this display you can determine how the Filter and the FEG respond to velocity.
EGTime,
Segment
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG’s Time parameters.
Select the Segment first, then set its Time parameter. Positive Time settings will play back the specified
Segment faster in proportion to the played velocity and negative values will play it back slower.
Settings: EG Time: -64 ~0 ~+63
Settings: Segment: atk, atk+dcy, dcy, atk+rls, all
atk (attack).............................EG Time Value affects Attack time.
atk+dcy (attack + decay)......EG Time Value affects Attack/Decay1 time.
dcy (decay)............................EG Time Value affects Decay time.
atk+rls (attack + release).......EG Time Value affects Attack/Release time.
all ..........................................EG Time Value affects all FEG Time parameters.
EGDepth,
Curve
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG Level.
For positive settings, the more strongly you play the keyboard, the more Filter changes the sound. Negative
settings do the opposite; the more softly you play, the more the sound changes. The Curve parameter lets you
select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how
velocity affects the Filter EG.
Settings: EGDepth: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Settings: Curve: 0 ~ 4
Cutoff Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Cutoff frequency of the Filter EG. For positive values, the
more strongly you play the keys, the greater the change in the Cutoff frequency. Negative values do the
opposite; the more softly you play, the greater the change in frequency.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Resonance Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Resonance of the Filter EG. For positive values, the more
strongly you play the keys, the greater the Resonance change. Negative values do the opposite; the more
softly you play, the greater the change in Resonance.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
[SF3] FEG
(Filter Envelope Generator)
From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Filter EG, which determine how the tonal
quality of the sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in Cutoff Frequency from the
moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the moment the sound stops.
The full names of the available parameters are shown in the chart below, as they appear in the display.
Settings: TIME: 0 ~ 127
LEVEL: -128 ~ 0 ~+127
DEPTH: -64 ~ 0 ~+63
n For details on the FEG, see page 113.
[SF4] KEY FLW (Key Follow)
From this display you can set the Key Follow effect for the Filter—in other words, how the tonal qualities of the
Element and its Filter EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.
CutoffSens (Cutoff Sensitivity) Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Filter of the
selected Element. A Center Key setting (next parameter) of C3 is used as the basic setting by the Cutoff
parameter. A positive setting will lower the Cutoff frequency for lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A
negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~ +200
FCenterKey
This indicates that the central note for Cutoff Sensitivity above is C3. At C3, the tone remains unchanged. For
other notes played, the Cutoff Frequency varies according to the particular note and the Cutoff Sensitivity
setting. Keep in mind that this is for display purposes only; the value cannot be changed.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
EGTimeSens
(EG Time Sensitivity)
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Filter EG times
of the selected Element. The basic speed of change for the FEG is at the note specified in the Center Key (next
parameter). A positive setting will cause slower changes for lower notes and faster changes for higher notes.
A negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
FCenterKey
Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on Filter EG. Depending on the EG Time
Sensitivity parameter above, the further away from the Center Key the keys are played, the more the time of the
Filter EG deviates from the normal. When the Center Key note is played, the FEG behaves according to its
actual settings. The Filter change characteristics for other notes will vary in proportion to the EG Time settings.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
n You can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing
the desired key.
