Sound
Filter
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or
cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter
can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
Brightness
Determines the cutoff frequency or effective
frequency range of the filter (see diagram).
Higher values result in a brighter sound.
Harmonic
Cont.
(Harmonic
Content)
Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff
frequency (resonance), set in Brightness
above (see diagram). Higher values result in
a more pronounced effect.
EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the
level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce
many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments
— such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds,
or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
Attack
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played.
The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
Decay
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than
maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Release
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The
lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Vibrato
Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is
produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
Depth
Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more
pronounced Vibrato.
Speed
Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
Delay
Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start
of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
Modulation
When the Modulation function is assigned to a pedal (
), the pedal can be used to modulate the
parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal
modulates each of the following parameters.
Filter
Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For
details about the filter, refer to
Volume
Cutoff Frequency
These frequencies are
“passed” by the filter.
