Tip 3: Adjust the cutoff

To produce a smooth sound, lower the cutoff setting to make the sound more mellow.
(Example 1) Softening a crisp string sound
Let's use PR-B 099 "Studio Sect." as an example of adjusting the sound.
As the name suggests, this patch is a crisp string ensemble heard close-up. However, simply
by adjusting the attack and release time, you can change it to an extremely gradual, flowing
sound. This transforms a crisp string sound into a soft string sound that would be suitable for
ballads.
(Example 2)
Patches such as PR-G 019 "Full Strings" are an example of sophisticated settings using
multiple waveforms in which strongly played notes have a quick attack, while softly played
notes have a slower attack.
