Time Key Follow Center Key
(EG Time Key Follow Sensitivity
Center Key)
Determines the central note for EG Time Key
Follow. When the Center Key note is played on
a keyboard, the PEG behaves according to its
actual settings.
Settings: C -2 – G8
Time Key Follow
(EG Time Key Follow Sensitivity)
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the
pitch EG times of the selected Element. When this is set to a positive value, high notes result in a
high pitch EG transition speed while low notes result in a slow speed. When this is set to a negative
value, the opposite effect is produced: High notes result in a slow pitch EG transition speed while
low notes result in a high speed. When this is set to 0, the pitch EG transition speed does not change
no matter what note number is received as a Note On message.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
Filter Type
Type Determines the Filter Type for the current Element. For details about each type, refer to “Filter Type
List” in the Supplementary information (page 88).
Settings: LPF24D, LPF24A, LPF18, LPF18s, LPF12, LPF6, HPF24D, HPF12, BPF12D, BPFw, BPF6, BEF12, BEF6, Dual LPF,
Dual HPF, Dual BPF, Dual BEF, LPF12+BPF6, thru
Cutoff The Cutoff Frequency is the center frequency at which unwanted frequencies of the audio are cut.
This determines the Cutoff Frequency for the Filter to adjust the Filter effect. The tonal characteristics
of the Voice and function of the Cutoff Frequency differ depending on which Filter type is selected.
Set this parameter while confirming the Filter graph shown on the window.
Settings: 0 – 255
Cutoff Velocity Sens
(Cutoff Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines how the Cutoff Frequency (specified in Cutoff above) responds to velocity, or the
strength with which you play notes. Positive settings will cause the Cutoff Frequency to rise the more
strongly you play an external keyboard. A setting of 0 will cause the Cutoff Frequency not to change
no matter what velocity you play. Negative settings will cause the Cutoff Frequency to rise the more
softly you play.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
Distance Determines the distance between the two Cutoff frequencies, for the Dual Filter types (which feature
two identical filters combined in parallel), and the LPF12 + BPF6 type. When any of other filter types
is selected, this parameter is not available.
Settings: -128 – +0 – +127
Resonance/Width This parameter’s function varies according to the selected Type. If the selected filter is an LPF, HPF,
BPF (excluding the BPFw), or BEF, this parameter is used to set the Resonance. For the BPFw, it is
used to adjust the frequency bandwidth. Resonance is used to set the amount of Resonance
(harmonic emphasis) applied to the signal at the cutoff frequency. This can be used in combination
with the cutoff frequency parameter to add further character to the sound. The Width parameter is
used to adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies passed by the filter with the BPFw. When
the Filter Type is set to “LPF6” or “thru,” this parameter is not available.
Settings: 0 – 127
Resonance Velocity Sens
(Resonance Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines the degree to which resonance responds to velocity, or the strength with which you play
notes. For positive values, the higher the velocity, the greater the resonance. A setting of 0 results in
no change of the Resonance value. For negative values, the lower the velocity, the greater the
resonance.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
Gain Determines the Gain of the signal sent to the filter. The lower the value, the lower the Gain. The tonal
characteristics generated by the filter differ depending on the value set here.
Settings: 0 – 255
Center Key
(Cutoff Key Follow Center Key /
HPF Key Follow Center Key)
This indicates that the central note for Cutoff Key Follow and HPF Key Follow above is C3. Keep in
mind that this is for display purposes only; the value cannot be changed.
