PITCH

OSC1 PITCH
Parameter Value Explanation
OctShift -4– +4 Adjusts the pitch of the OSC1's sound up
(Octave or down in units of an octave (+/-4 oc-
Shift) taves).

Parameter Value Explanation
Time 0–127 Specifies the time over which the pitch is
to change.

ModDepth
Explanation
Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or
down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or
down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
This specifies the amount of pitch
change that will occur when you play a
key one octave higher (i.e., 12 keys up-
ward on the keyboard).
If you want the pitch to rise one octave
as on a conventional keyboard, set this
to "+100." If you want the pitch to rise
two octaves, set this to "+200." Con-
versely, set this to a negative value if you
want the pitch to fall. With a setting of
"0," all keys will produce the same pitch.
Explanation
Selects the type of vibrato.
Adjusts the vibrato speed.
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato ap-
plied to OSC1 or OSC2.
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato that
is applied to OSC1 or OSC2 by the
controller assigned by Controller (p.
31).

Intensity 0–127 Adjusts the intensity of modulation.
ModDepth -63– Adjusts the intensity of modulation by the
+63 controller assigned by Controller (p. 31).
Speed 0–127 Adjusts the speed of modulation.
ModDepth -63– Adjusts the speed of modulation by the
+63 controller assigned by Controller (p. 31).

TVA

Level
Parameter Value Explanation
Level 0–127 Specifies the volume of the patch.
LevelKF -200– Use this parameter if you want the volume
(Level Key +200 of the patch to change according to the key
Follow) that is pressed. Relative to the volume at
the C5 key (center C), positive (+) settings
will cause the volume to rise for notes
higher than C5, and negative (-) settings
will cause the volume to fall for notes
higher than C4. Larger settings will pro-
duce greater change.
Explanation
Selects the frequency of the
middle range.
Adjusts the width of the mid-
dle range. Set a higher value
for Q to narrow the range to
be affected.
Adjusts the gain of the mid-
dle range. Positive (+) set-
tings will emphasize the
middle range.
