amount, and vice versa. A setting of +100% corresponds
to a 1:1 scale, so e.g. when an octave is played on a
keyboard the cutoff frequency changes by the same
amount. If you want to play the filter in a tempered scale,
e.g. for a solo sound with self-oscillation, set the value to
+100%. On most bass sounds lower settings in the range
+50…+75% are optimal to keep the sound smooth at
higher notes.

Env Velocity

-64...+63

Determines the amount of influence the filter envelope
has on the cutoff frequency, based on key velocity. This
parameter works similarly to the Env Amount parameter
with the difference that its intensity is velocity based. Use
this feature to give a more expressive character to the
sound. When you hit the keys smoothly, only minimal
modulation is applied. When you hit them harder, the
modulation amount also gets stronger.

w

The overall modulation applied to the filter’s cutoff
frequency is calculated as the sum of both the Env
Amount

and Env Velocity parameters. Therefore

you should always bear this total in mind, especially
when the filter does not behave as you expect. You
can also create interesting effects by setting one
parameter to a positive and the other to a negative
amount.

FM Source

see table „FM Sources“

Selects the source of the frequency modulation.

FM Amount

off, 1...127

Sets the amount of frequency modulation that is applied
to the filter by the selected source.

Cutoff Mod Source

see table „ModulationSources“

Selects the source of the cutoff modulation.

Cutoff Mod Amount

-64...+63

Controls the amount of cutoff modulation. Positive
amounts will increase the cutoff frequency when positive
modulation is applied, e.g. by pressing the aftertouch on
