Release (Release Time)
Determines how fast the Cutoff Frequency falls from the
sustain level to zero when a note is released.
sustain level to zero when a note is released.
Depth
Determines the range over which the cutoff frequency of the
Filter EG changes. A setting of 0 will cause the cutoff
frequency not to change. The farther from 0 the value is, the
larger the range of the cutoff frequency. For negative values,
the change of the cutoff frequency is reversed.

n When a Drum Voice is selected, not all of the parameters
are available. Unavailable parameters are blank and
cannot be edited.
3 Filter
Determines the Cutoff Frequency and Resonance for the
Filter to change the Performance sound. The setting made
here will be added to the same parameters (page 117) of
each Voice as offset.

Cutoff
Determines the cutoff frequency for the Filter. The frequency
set here is the center frequency at which the signals are
affected when they pass through each filter.

Resonance/Width
This parameter’s function varies according to the selected
Filter Type. If the selected filter is an LPF, HPF, BPF (excluding
the BPFw), or BEF, this parameter is used to set the
Resonance. If the selected filter is a BPFw, this parameter 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.

Equalizer (EQ) Settings—[F5] EQ
From this display you can apply 3-band parametric EQ to
each individual Part, for fine adjustment of the sound. The
EQ shapes for Low and High are fixed as shelving types.

1 Frequency
Determines the center frequency. Frequencies around this
point are attenuated/boosted by the Gain setting below.
Higher values produce higher frequencies.

2 Gain
Determines the level gain for the Frequency (set above), or

3 Q (Bandwidth)
This varies the signal level at the Frequency setting to
create various frequency curve characteristics. The higher
the setting the smaller the Q (Bandwidth). The lower the
setting, the greater the Q (Bandwidth).

RcvSwitch (Receive Switch)
From this display you can set how each individual Part
responds to various MIDI data, such as Control Change
and Program Change messages. When the relevant
parameter is set to “on,” the corresponding Part responds
to the appropriate MIDI data. Each of the Controller names
in this display indicates the MIDI data generated by using
the corresponding Controller.
