● FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either block-
ing or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine
the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency
range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can
be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

● EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the
sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound charac-
teristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and
decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano
tone.

RELEASE
Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the Filter Cutoff Fre-
quency. See below for details about Filter.
Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the amplitude (vol-
ume).
Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the pitch, or the
vibrato effect.
Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the Filter modulation,
or the wah effect.
Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the amplitude, or the
tremolo effect.
Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the filter
(see diagram). Higher values result in
a brighter sound.
Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance), set
in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram).
Higher values result in a more pro-
nounced effect.
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is
played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower
level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released.
The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
