Attack Rate (
AtkR
the speed of the attack (the period from
when you press a key to when the tone
reaches its maximum volume). The
greater the value, the quicker the attack.
Use this parameter to make fine adjust-
ments to the tone characteristics of the
amp envelope.
Release Rate (
RelR
Controls the speed of a tone's release
(the period from when you release a key
to when the tone stops sounding). The
greater the value, the quicker the
release. Use this parameter to make fine
adjustments to the tone characteristics
of the amp envelope.
Pitch Envelope Set (
Selects the pitch envelopes. 00 speci-
fies no change, a value from 01 to 17
changes the vibrato, and a value from
18 to 45 changes a parameter other
than the vibrato. Samples of the pitch
envelopes appear in a graph near your
keyboard's right speaker.
Pitch ( ) (–64 to +63) — Controls
Ptch
the overall pitch of the tone. A positive
value increases the pitch, a negative
value lowers it. A setting of zero sets the
pitch to the standard setting for the
selected tone.
Transpose ( Tran
Raises or lowers overall tuning by semi-
tone units. A positive value raises the
tuning, a negative value lowers it.
Level ( Lvel ) (0 to 127) — Controls the
overall volume of the tone. The greater
the value, the greater the volume. Set-
ting a level of zero means that the tone
does not sound at all.
Touch Sensitivity (
— Controls changes in the volume of
the tone, depending on how hard you
strike the keys. You can specify more
volume for stronger striking and less vol-
ume for lighter striking, or you can spec-

of how hard you strike the keys.
Pan ( Pan ) (–64 to +63) — Controls the
relative position of the tone between the
left and right speaker channels. A
greater positive value moves the center
point further to the right, a negative
value moves it to the left.
Filter Sensitivity (
Fsns
— Controls changes in the quality of the
tone, depending on how hard you strike
the keys. A greater value increases the
change in tone quality; a smaller value
decreases it. A setting of zero specifies
no change.
Filter Level ( ) (000 to 127) —
Flev
Controls how the digital filter affects the
tone. The greater the value, the more
open the filter and the clearer the sound.
A smaller value softens the sound.
