5 PCH (Pitch) and PEG (Pitch EG)
Screens
Set the basic pitch parameters for each Element.
You can detune Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and
so on. Also, by setting the PEG (Pitch Envelope
Generator), you can control how the pitch
changes over time.
• PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)
Using the PEG, you can control the transition in
pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the
keyboard to the point at which it is released. As
illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five
Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level
(pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating
automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different
PEG parameters can be set for each Element.
Details about PEG parameters are given on Page 91.
6 FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter EG)
Screens
You can use the filter to change the tonal
characteristics of each Element, by adjusting
overtones (harmonic tones) included in the
waveform from the Element. There are several
types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As
illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones
at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass)
others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original
waveform. You can determine such frequencies by
specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff
frequency). With some filters, you can adjust signal
levels at several frequency bands. You can also set
the Filter Envelope Generator (FEG) for time
variance of how the filter works, which results in a
dynamic change in tonal characteristics. Here we
introduce how FEG works.
Details about Filter Types are given on Page 93.
• FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)
Using the FEG, you can control the transition in
tone from the moment a note is pressed on the
keyboard to the point at which it is released. As
illustrated below, the Filter Envelope consists of
five Time (transition speed) parameters and five
Level parameters (for the amount of filtering).
When you press a note on the keyboard, the cutoff
frequency will change according to these envelope
settings. This is useful for creating automatic wah
effects, for example. Furthermore, different FEG
parameters can be set for each Element.
Details about FEG parameters are given on Page 95.
