Set the ratio in which the filter changes according to the settings of the filter envelope and velocity
here.

Attack:

This sets the attack time of the filter envelope. The larger the value, the more time it takes
for the sound to clarify.

Decay:

This sets the decay time of the filter envelope. The larger the value, the softer the decay of
the cut off frequency becomes.

Amount:

This sets the depth of the filter envelope. The larger the value, the larger the effect of the
filter envelope becomes. The envelope is disabled when it is set to 0.

Velo>Freq:

This allows the velocity to control the filter. The larger the value, the clearer the sound be-
comes with the impact of the velocity. When this is set to 0, the tone is the same regardless of
the velocity impact.

Velo:

This displays the velocity in real time when the dum pad is hit.
