TVF VELOCITY
These parameters determine how keyboard velocity will 
affect TVF Envelope/Cutoff Frequency/Resonance.
V-Sens (TVF Envelope Velocity Sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want velocity to affect the TVF 
Envelope. Higher settings will result in a greater difference 
between strongly and softly played notes. Negative (-) 
settings will invert the effect.
V-Curve (TVF Envelope Velocity Curve)
Select one of 7 types of curve with which velocity will affect 
the Cutoff Frequency. The curve is displayed graphically at 
the right of the value.
V-Resonance (Resonance Velocity Sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want velocity to affect the 
Resonance. Higher settings will result in a greater difference 
between strongly and softly played notes. Negative (-) 
settings will invert the effect.
TVF TIME ENV (TVF Time Envelope)
These parameters determine how keyboard velocity will 
affect the times of the TVF envelope.
V-T1 (TVF Envelope Time 1 Velocity Sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want velocity to affect T1 
(time) of the TVF envelope. Higher settings will result in a 
greater difference between strongly and softly played notes. 
If you want higher keyboard velocities to speed up the T1 
time, use positive (+) settings. To slow down the T1 time, use 
negative (-) settings.
V-T4 (TVF Envelope Time 4 Velocity Sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want Key Off Velocity (the 
speed at which you release a key) to affect T4 (time) of the 
TVF envelope. Higher settings will result in a greater 
difference between quickly and slowly released notes. If you 
want a quicker release to speed up the T4 time, use positive 
(+) settings. To slow down the T4 time, use negative (-) 
settings.
Time Keyfollow (TVF Envelope Time Key Follow)
Use this parameter when you want keyboard position to 
affect the times (T2–T4) of the TVF envelope. Higher settings 
will result in greater changes relative to middle C (C4). 
Positive (+) settings will result in shorter times as you play 
toward the right of the keyboard. Negative (-) settings will 
conversely result in longer times.
TVF ENVELOPE
These parameters set the TVF envelope (the way in which the 
cutoff frequency will change over time).
fig.3-44.e
T1–T4 (TVF Envelope Time 1–4)
Set the times over which the cutoff frequency will move from 
one point to the next.
L1–L4 (TVF Envelope Level 1–4)
Set the cutoff frequency levels for each point, relative to the 
basic
cutoff frequency.
Changing the Sound’s Volume 
and Stereo Location (TVA) 
The TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) controls volume changes 
and stereo location.
TVA
Level
Adjust the basic volume of the Tone. Use this parameter to 
adjust the volume balance between Tones.
Pan
Adjust the pan (stereo location) of the Tone. L64 is full left, 0 
is center, and 63R is full right.
V-Sens (TVA Envelope Velocity Sensitivity)
Use this parameter when you want keyboard velocity to 
affect the amount of change produced by the TVA envelope. 
Higher settings will result in a greater difference between 
strongly and softly played notes. Negative (-) settings will 
invert the effect.
V-Curve (TVA Envelope Velocity Curve)
Select one of 7 curves that will determine how keyboard 
playing dynamics will affect the TVA envelope. The selected 
curve will be displayed at the right of the numerical value.
