  • Page 11 On a synthesizer, this type of change is produced by an EG. The your keyboard velocity to produce greater differences in EG1-Filter amplitude. KingKORG NEO has dedicated EGs for the filter and for the amp. However since these EGs can be used as Virtual Patch sources, you are also free to use them to vary the pitch or numerous other aspects of the sound.
  • Page 12 The phase of the LFO will be reset by the first note-on that occurs from a great deal of freedom in creating the sound. The Korg MS Series (MS-20, condition of no keys being held; it will not be reset for subsequently played MS-50, MS-10, etc.) went on sale in 1978 and featured this type of patching.
