Filter Type
Selects the type of lter.
OFF No lter is used.
LPF
Low Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies
in the region above the cuto frequency
(Cuto Frequency). Since this cuts the high-
frequency region, the sound becomes more
mellow. 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 Frequency), 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 Frequency). 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 Frequency). 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 Frequency) 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.
* If you set “LPF2, the setting for the
Resonance parameter will be ignored.
LPF3
Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency
components above the Cuto frequency
(Cuto Frequency) 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 Filter
Envelope settings.
* If you set “LPF3, the setting for the
Resonance parameter will be ignored.
VCF1 Each setting simulates the operation of an
analog synthesizers LPF. In particular, MG,
JP, and P5 are types that are suitable for
reproducing synthesizer sounds of the past.

eect on the waveforms frequency components.
RESONANCE

the cuto frequency, adding character to the sound.
Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing
the sound to distort.

Specify the pitch envelope levels (Level 0–Level 4).
It determines how much the pitch changes from the
reference pitch (the value set with Coarse Tune or Fine
Tune on the Pitch screen) at each point.
Positive (+) value will cause the pitch to be higher than
the standard pitch, and negative (-) value will cause it
to be lower.
* If ADSR Env Sw is ON, only Level 3 (Sustain) has an eect.
Also in this case, settings with a negative value are
ignored.

Conversely, set this to a negative (-)

Adjusts the eect of the Pitch Envelope.
Higher settings will cause the pitch
envelope to produce greater change.
Negative (-) value will invert the shape
of the envelope.
If OSC Type is other than VA, this is
limited to ±63.
Velocity Sens
-100–+100
Keyboard playing dynamics can
be used to control the depth of
the pitch envelope. If you want the
pitch envelope to have more eect
for strongly played notes, set this
parameter to a positive (+) value. If you
want the pitch envelope to have less
eect for strongly played notes, set this
to a negative (-) value.
T1 Velocity Sens
-100–+100
This allows keyboard dynamics to aect
the Time 1 of the Pitch envelope.
If you want Time 1 to be speeded
up for strongly played notes, set this
parameter to a positive “+” value. If you
want it to be slowed down, set this to a
negative “-” value.
T4 Velocity Sens
-100–+100
Use this parameter when you want key
release speed to aect the Time 4 value
of the pitch envelope.
If you want Time 4 to be speeded up
for quickly released notes, set this
parameter to a positive (+) value. If you
want it to be slowed down, set this to a
negative (-) value.
Time Keyfollow
-100–+100
Use this setting if you want the pitch
envelope times (Time 2–Time 4) to be
aected by the keyboard location.
Based on the pitch envelope times
for the C4 key, positive (+) value
will cause notes higher than C4 to
have increasingly shorter times, and
negative (-) value will cause them to
have increasingly longer times.
Higher values will produce greater
change.
