Use DKit Setting
This is valid when “OSC Mode” is set to Drums. If this
is checked, the pan location specified by the Drum Kit
for each drum sound will be used. If this is unchecked,
all drum sounds will sound at the same location. Preset
drum kits are set to stereo settings. Normally you will
leave this checked.
Amp1 Mod. tab
Keyboard Track
This lets you vary the volume by the keyboard location
you play.
• When “Ramp Low” has a positive (+) value, the
volume will increase as you play lower on the
keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume
will decrease as you play lower on the keyboard.
• When “Ramp High” has a positive (+) value, the
volume will increase as you play higher on the
keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume
will decrease as you play higher on the keyboard.
Amp Modulation
“Velocity Intensity” is used by most programs to
decrease the volume of softly played notes and
increase the volume of strongly played notes, and this
Amp Modulation parameter adjusts the depth of this
control. Normally you will set Amp Modulation to
positive (+) values. As this setting is increased, there
will be greater volume difference between softly
played and strongly played notes.
LFO 1/2
Specify how the LFO’s will produce cyclic changes in
volume (the tremolo effect).
The volume will be affected by the LFO(s) for which
you set an “LFO Intensity” value.
“AMS Intensity” adjusts the depth by which the trem-
olo effect produced by the LFO will be affected when
you operate an “AMS” (alternate modulation source).
For example if “AMS” is set to JS–Y, moving the joy-
stick toward yourself will apply tremolo.
Amp1 EG tab
Here you can make settings for the amplifier EG that
produces changes in volume over time.
Every instrument has its own characteristic curve of
volume change. This is part of what gives each instru-
ment its identifiable character. Conversely, by applying
a strings-type Amp EG curve to an organ-type multi-
sample, you can produce a sound with a character
unlike a typical organ.

P5: Edit-Common LFO LFO settings
For each oscillator, you can use two LFO (Low Fre-
quency Oscillator) units: LFO1 and LFO2. You are free
to select the type of each LFO and set its speed. The
depth of the LFO1 and LFO2 whose settings you make
here can be adjusted in pages P2: Edit-Pitch, P3: Edit-
Filter, and P4: Edit-Amp.
OSC (1/2) LFO (1/2)
“Waveform” selects the type of LFO. You can choose
from a variety of waveforms, including standard
waveforms such as Triangle, Saw, Square, and Sine, as
well as Step or Random waveforms that produce a
sample-and-hold effect (
☞ p.20 in the Parameter Guide).
A wide range of variations can also be produced using
the “Offset,” “Fade,” and “Delay” parameters, and by
changing the sign of the “Intensity” parameters in P2:
Edit-Pitch, P3: Edit-Filter, and P4: Edit-Amp. “Fre-
quency” sets the speed of the LFO.
Frequency Modulation
“AMS” can be used to vary the LFO speed. This lets
you change the LFO speed by operating a controller, or
by the EG or Keyboard Track settings.
Frequency MIDI/Tempo Sync.
If “MIDI/Tempo Sync” is checked, the “Frequency”
setting will be ignored, and the LFO will synchronize
to the tempo of the arpeggiator or sequencer. This lets
you produce vibrato, wah, auto-pan, or tremolo that is
synchronized to the playback speed of the arpeggiator.
