Basic functions
Program mode
Amp Mod.
Velocity Int” is used by most programs to decrease 
the volume of softly played notes and increase the vol-
ume of strongly played notes, and this Amp Modula-
tion parameter adjusts the depth of this control. 
Normally you will set Amp Modulation to positive (+) 
values
. As this setting is increased, there will be greater 
volume difference between softly played and strongly 
played notes.
LFO1 Mod., LFO2 Mod.
Specify how the LFO’s will produce cyclic changes in 
volume (the tremolo effect).
The volume will be affected by the LFO(s) for which 
you set an “Intensity (LFO1 Intensity, LFO2 Intensity)” 
value.
Int (AMS Intensity)” adjusts the depth by which the 
tremolo effect produced by the LFO will be affected 
when you operate an “AMS (LFO1 AMS, LFO2 
AMS).” 
For example if you set “AMS” to JS-Y #02, tremolo will 
be applied when you move the joystick of this instru-
ment. toward yourself, or when CC#02 is received.
EG page
Here you can make settings for the amp EG, which 
changes the volume over time.
Every instrument has its own characteristic curve of 
volume change. This is part of what gives each instru-
ment its identifiable character. Conversely, by applying 
a strings-type Amp EG curve to an organ-type multi-
sample, you can produce a sound with a character 
unlike a typical organ.
LFO settings
5.3: Ed–LFOs
For each oscillator, you can use two LFO (Low Fre-
quency Oscillator) units: LFO1 and LFO2. You are free 
to select the type of each LFO and set its speed.
The depth of the LFO1 and LFO2 that you specify here 
is adjusted by the settings of the 3.1: Ed-Pitch, 4.1: Ed-
Filter1, 4.2: Ed-Filter2, 5.1: Ed-Amp1, and 5.2: Ed-
Amp2 pages.
OSC1 LFO1, OSC1 LFO2, OSC2 LFO1, OSC2 LFO2
Waveform” selects the type of LFO. You can choose 
from a variety of waveforms, including standard 
waveforms such as TriangleSawSquare, and Sine
as well as Step or Random PG waveforms that pro-
duce a sample-and-hold effect (
You can create a wide variety of effects by adjusting the 
Ofs,” “Fade,” and “Dly” settings, and by changing 
the sign (+/–) of the “Intensity” setting in the 3.1: Ed-
Pitch, 4.1: Ed-Filter1, 4.2: Ed-Filter2, 5.1: Ed-Amp1, and 
5.2: Ed-Amp2 pages. “Frequency” specifies the speed 
of the LFO.
Freq.Mod (Frequency Modulation)
AMS” can be used to vary the LFO speed. This lets 
you change the LFO speed by operating a controller, or 
by the EG or Keyboard Track settings.
MIDI/Tempo Sync.
If “MIDI/Tempo Sync” is checked, the “Frequency” 
setting will be ignored, and the LFO will synchronize 
to the tempo of the sequencer and arpeggiator. This 
lets you produce vibrato, wah, auto-pan, or tremolo 
that is synchronized to the playback speed of the 
sequencer or arpeggiator.
Arpeggiator settings
6.1: Ed–Arp.
BUS settings
7.1: Ed–InsertFX BUS
You can specify the oscillator routing (the signal sent to 
the insert effect, master effects, and independent out-
puts) (
Insert Effect settings
7.1: Ed–InsertFX Setup, IFX
Here you can select insert effect and make settings for 
them (
Master Effect settings
7.2: Ed–MasterFX
Here you can select master effects and make settings 
for them. The master EQ is also set here (
