Selects the type of VCF filter when the filter
TYPE is VCF.
Each of these simulates the operation of an
analog synthesizer's LPF.
Select either TVF or VCF as the filter type.
* TVF stands for Time Variant Filter, and is a
filter that allows detailed settings to be made
for the time-varying change in the sound's
frequency components.
If VCF is selected, the simultaneous
polyphony will be less than when TVF is
selected.
Selects the frequency at which the filter
begins to have an effect on the waveform's
frequency components.
Boosts the region of the sound near the
cutoff frequency, adding a distinctive
character to the sound.
Specifies the depth of the filter envelope.
Set this if you want the cutoff frequency to
change according to the keyboard position
of the note you play.
This button selects the slope (steepness) of
the filter.
For VCF, you can choose -12, -18, or -24.
For TVF, you can choose only -12 or -24.
If the filter TYPE is TVF, the following
limitations apply.
Only -12 dB or -24 dB can be specified.
Even if you specify -18 dB, the sound
engine operates internally with the -12 dB
setting.
If you specify -24 dB, the simultaneous
polyphony will be less than when -12 dB is
selected.
Explanation
Specifies the time over which the initial
value changes to the maximum value after
the key is pressed.
Specifies the time over which the SUSTAIN
value is reached following the ATTACK.
Specifies the sustain value of the amp
envelope.
Specifies the time over which the minimum
value is reached after the key is released.
Specifies the pan of each partial's sound.

How a Tone Is Constructed

A tone consists of four (Partial 1–4) sets of OSC, Filter, AMP, LFO × 2, and
EQ settings, together with multi-effect (MFX) settings.
You can create sounds by combining the four partials.
Each partial can be turned on/off, allowing you to select which partials
produce sound.
Partial 4
Partial 3
Partial 2
Partial 1
LFO 1
OSC
Filter
Pitch Env
Filter Env
LFO 2
OSC (oscillator)
This selects the waveform that is the basis of the sound, and
specifies how its pitch will change.
Filter
This modifies the frequency components of the sound.
Amp (amplifier)
This creates changes in volume and pan.
Editing the TONE Track
Explanation
Turns the equalizer on/off.
Gain of the low frequency range.
Gain of the mid frequency range.
Gain of the high frequency range.
Bandwidth of the mid frequency range.
Set a higher value for Q to narrow the
range to be affected.
Frequency of the low range.
Frequency of the mid range.
Frequency of the high range.
Explanation
Turns the effect on/off.
Switches the type of effect.
The displayed parameters depend on the
effect type that is selected.
