Parameter Value Explanation

Pitch Fine -50~0~+50

This parameter allows you to set the ne tune of

the selected Drum Instrument.

Pitch Coarse 0~127

This parameter allows you to set the coarse tune of

the selected Drum Instrument.

Chorus Send 0~127

Use this parameter to set the chorus send level of

the selected Drum Instrument.

Reverb Send 0~127

Use this parameter to set the chorus send level of

the selected Drum Instrument.

TVF Type

OFF, LPF, BPF,

HPF, PKG,

LPF2, LPF3,

Selects the type of lter. A lter modies the

brightness or thickness of the sound by cutting a

specic frequency range:

• “OFF”: No lter used

• “LPF”: Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume

of all frequencies above the cuto frequency

(Cuto Freq) in order to round o, or un-brighten

the sound. This is the most common lter used

in synthesizers.

• “BPF”: Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the

frequencies in the region of the cuto frequency

(Cuto Freq), and cuts the rest. This can be useful

when creating distinctive sounds.

• “HPF”: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies

in the region below the cuto frequency (Cuto

Freq). This is suitable for creating percussive

sounds emphasizing their higher tones.

• “PKG”: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the

frequencies in the region of the cuto frequency

(Cuto Freq). You can use this to create wah-wah

eects by employing an LFO to change the

cuto frequency cyclically.

• “LPF2”: Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency

components above the Cuto frequency (Cuto

Freq) are cut, the sensitivity of this lter is half

that of the LPF. This makes it a comparatively

warmer low pass lter. This lter is good for use

with simulated instrument sounds such as the

acoustic piano.

• “LPF3”: Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency

components above the Cuto frequency (Cuto

Freq) are cut, the sensitivity of this lter changes

according to the Cuto frequency. While this

lter is also good for use with simulated acoustic

instrument sounds, the nuance it exhibits diers

from that of the LPF2, even with the same TVF

Envelope settings

TVF Cuto 0~127

Selects the point at which the lter begins to

have an eect on the waveform’s frequency

components.

TVF Resonance 0~127

Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region

of the cuto frequency, adding character to the

sound. Excessively high settings can produce

oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

TVF Env Depth -63~0~+63

Species the depth of the TVF envelope. Higher

settings will cause the TVF envelope to produce

greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the

shape of the envelope.

TVF Env A

0~127

Specify the TVF envelope times (Time A–Time R).

Higher settings will lengthen the time until the

next cuto frequency level is reached
