The
S61
2 has
three
OUTPUT
controls,
FILTER
,
DECAY
and
LEVEL.
FILTE^ControTl
By
processing
the
sampled sound
through
a
low-pass
filter,
it
is
possible
to
give
it
a milder
or a
mellow
tone.
DECAY
Control
~|
By
adjusting the
DECAY
control,
a
decay
(reverb-like) effect
can be added, so
that
when
the
key
is
released
(key-off)
the
sampled sound
fades
gradually.
The
higher the value (number)
that
the
control
is
set
at,
the longer the
decay
effect.
NOTE:
The S61
2
can
receives
decay
effect
by "Sustain Pedal
On"
data from external MIDI key-
boards.

Of
the three
OUTPUT
controls,
the FILTER

programmable
parameters.
When
the
sound

is
saved on
disks,
they
will
be
saved
along
with the
sampled
data,
However,
because
the LEVEL data
is
not
programmable,
it
cannot be saved on
disks.
The
S61
2
is
able
to
transpose
sampled sounds
by a
half-step
in-
terval
through
to
several octaves,
so
that
they
can
be
played
at
any
desired
pitch.
The
transposition
is
enabled
by the MIDI key-
board. For
example,
let's
transpose
the
sampled sound up by
one
octave.
