Parameter Value Explanation
Fine -50– Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or
(Fine Tune) +50 down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
PitchKF -200– This specifies the amount of pitch
(Pitch Key +200 change that will occur when you play a
Follow) 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.

Gain
Explanation
Selects the type of vibrato.
Adjusts the vibrato speed.
Refer to "Controllers" (p. 55).
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 Mod Ctrl.
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.

Intensity 0–127 Adjusts the intensity of modulation.
Int -63– Adjusts the intensity of modulation by
ModDepth +63 the controller assigned by Mod Ctrl.
Speed 0–127 Adjusts the speed of modulation.
Spd -63– Adjusts the speed of modulation by the
ModDepth +63 controller assigned by Mod Ctrl.

Mod Ctrl Refer to "Controllers" (p. 55).
TVA
Parameter Value Explanation
Level 0–127 Specifies the volume of the patch.
LevelKF -200– Use this parameter if you want the vol-
(Level Key +200 ume of the patch to change according to
Follow) the key 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 produce greater change.
LvlVel Sens -63– Keyboard playing dynamics can be used
+63 to control the volume of the patch. If you
want the volume to have more effect for
strongly played notes, set this parameter
to a positive (+) value. If you want the
volume to have less effect for strongly
played notes, set this to a negative (-)
value.
Lvl -63– Adjusts the volume of the patch by the
ModDepth +63 controller assigned by Mod Ctrl.
Pan L64–0– Specifies the pan of the patch. "L64" is
63R far left, "0" is center, and "63R" is far
right.
PanKF -200– Use this parameter if you want key posi-
(Pan Key +200 tion to affect panning. Positive (+) set-
Follow) tings will cause notes higher than C5 key
(center C) to be panned increasingly fur-
ther toward the right, and negative (-)
settings will cause notes higher than C5
key (center C) to be panned toward the
left. Larger settings will produce greater
change.
Pan -63– Adjusts the pan of the patch by the con-
ModDepth +63 troller assigned by Mod Ctrl.
Attack 0–127 Specifies the attack time of the envelope
Time (the time from when you press a key un-
til the envelope level reaches the maxi-
mum value).
Atk Vel -63– This allows keyboard dynamics to affect
Sens +63 the attack time of the envelope. If you
want attack time 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.
