Cutoff Frequency - Roland Fantom G8 User Manual

Cutoff Frequency

Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on
the waveform's frequency components.
Value: 0–127
With "LPF/LPF2/LPF3" selected for the Filter Type parameter,
lower cutoff frequency settings reduce a tone's upper harmonics for
a more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound
brighter.
If "BPF" is selected, harmonic components will change depending
on the TVF Cutoff Frequency setting. This can be useful when
creating distinctive sounds.
With "HPF" selected, higher Cutoff Frequency settings will reduce
lower harmonics to emphasize just the brighter components of the
sound.
With "PKG" selected, the harmonics to be emphasized will vary
depending on Cutoff Frequency setting.
Resonance
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff
frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
Value: 0–127

Cutoff Velocity Curve
Selects one of the following seven curves that determine how
keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) influence the cutoff frequency.
Set this to "FIXED" if you don't want the Cutoff frequency to be
affected by the keyboard velocity.
Value: FIXED, 1–7

Creating a Rhythm Set
Cutoff Velocity Sens
Use this parameter when changing the cutoff frequency to be
applied as a result of changes in playing velocity. If you want
strongly played notes to raise the cutoff frequency, set this
parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes
to lower the cutoff frequency, use negative (-) settings.
Value: -63– +63
Resonance Velocity Sens
This allows keyboard velocity to modify the amount of Resonance. If
you want strongly played notes to have a greater Resonance effect,
set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly
played notes to have less Resonance, use negative (-) settings.
Value: -63– +63
TVF Env Velocity Curve
Selects one of the following 7 curves that will determine how
keyboard playing dynamics will affect the TVF envelope. Set this to
"FIXED" if you don't want the TVF Envelope to be affected by the
keyboard velocity.
Value: FIXED, 1–7

TVF Env Velocity Sens
Specifies how keyboard playing dynamics will affect the depth of the
TVF envelope. Positive (+) settings will cause the TVF envelope to
have a greater effect for strongly played notes, and negative (-)
settings will cause the effect to be less.
Value: -63– +63
TVF Env Time 1 Velocity Sens
This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the TVF
envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played
notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be
slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Value: -63– +63
TVF Env Time 4 Velocity Sens
The parameter to use when you want key release speed to control
the Time 4 value of the TVF envelope. If you want Time 4 to be
speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a
positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a
negative (-) value.
Value: -63– +63
