Chapter 5. Parameter guide
TOUCH-S (Touch sensitivity)
Adjusts the sensitivity of the filter that varies the tone
according to the strength with which you play your bass.
Increasing this setting will cause the sound be brighter when
you play your bass strongly. With a setting of "0," the tone
will not be affected by your playing dynamics.
DECAY
Adjusts the time over which the tonal character will decay
when you play your bass strongly. Lower settings of this
parameter will cause the tonal character to decay rapidly,
producing a softer tone.
* DECAY will have no effect if the TOUCH-S setting is low.
* This will be displayed only if the COSM BASS parameter
TYPE is set to "FILTERED."

P-BEND (Power bend)

Specifies the brightness of the sound. At the same time, the
tone and volume will change in response to pitch changes
produced by using the arm.
* This cannot be switched on/off.
PRESET
Select one of the preset types of power bend.
P-BEND (Power bend)
Higher settings will produce a rougher tone.
P-BEND-Q (Power bend Q)
Higher settings will approach the sound of the harmonic
content by itself, producing a sound with no sense of attack.

SUSTAIN

Specifies how the volume will be affected by the amplitude of
the string vibrations (dynamics) of the bass sound that is input.
* This cannot be switched on/off.
SUSTAIN
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level input signals
will be boosted to a constant volume. Increasing this value
will produce a longer sustain.

COLOR

COLOR
Adjusts the strength of the low range. As the value increases,
the low range will become stronger.
50

ATTACK

0–100
Specifies the strength of the attack when the string is plucked.
* This cannot be switched on/off.
PRESET
Select one of the preset types of attack.
0–100
LENGTH
Specifies the decay time for the attack portion. Lower settings
will produce a shorter attack portion.
MOD-TUNE (Modulation tune)
Specifies the tuning of the modulation that is applied to the
attack portion.
MOD-DEP (Modulation depth)
Specifies the depth of the modulation that is applied to the
attack portion. Higher settings will produce deeper
modulation.

Specifies how the sound will be resonated by the body.
0–100
* This cannot be switched on/off.
BODY LEV (Body Level)

the three parameters to create the tone.
* This cannot be switched on/off.
