Changing Tone Elements
(Cutoff/Resonance/Attack Time/
Decay Time/Release Time)
You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of the
following five elements.
Cutoff: Adjusts how much the filter is opened.
Resonance: This boosts the portions in the region around the
cutoff frequency, lending a particular quality to the
sound. Excessively high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
Attack Time: The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound
to reach full volume.
The time it is to take following the attack for the
Decay Time:
volume to decrease.
Release Time: The time it takes after the key is released for a sound
to become inaudible.
Making abrupt changes in the settings values may cause the
sound to become distorted or overly loud. Carefully monitor
volume levels while making the settings.
Parameter Value
Cutoff -64–0– +63
Resonance -64–0– +63
Attack Time -64–0– +63
Decay Time -64–0– +63
Release Time -64–0– +63
The effect may not be apparent with some tones, even when the
value is changed.
Setting the Amount of Reverb Applied
to Each Tone (Reverb Send Level)
This sets the depth of the reverb effect for each tone.
When this value is set to "0," no effect is applied even when
[REVERB] is pressed.
You can also make the setting by holding down [REVERB] and
adjusting the ZONE LEVEL slider.
Value
0–127
Description
Higher values brighten the sound;
lower values make the sound seem
darker.
Higher value makes the special
quality of the sound stronger;
lower value reduce these charac-
teristics.
Higher values produce a milder at-
tack; lower values produce a sharper
attack.
The time it takes for the volume to
fall increases as the value is
raised; lowering the value de-
creases the decay time.
Higher values produce longer decay;
set lower values for a clear-cut sound.
