: Prs CC No.
• Pressure Control Change Number
• Settings: off… 95, AT, VEL, PB
“Pressure” corresponds to the amount of breath
pressure applied to a reed or mouthpiece, or the
speed of the bow applied to a string. Pressure
variations affect both volume and timbre. The “Prs
CC No.” parameter specifies the controller to be
used for pressure control. When set to “off”
maximum pressure is applied at all times.
Please note that pressure affects not only
volume, but timbre and pitch as well. Accurate
keyboard/controller pitch is produced only at
maximum pressure.
The “PrsCtrlDpt” parameter, below, must be set
to an appropriate value (higher than “+01” or
lower than “-01”) for pressure control to have
any effect.

: PrsCtrlDpt
• Pressure Control Depth
• Settings: -127 … +127 (VL-XG Mode: -64 … +63)
Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to pressure. The higher the
value the greater the variation. Positive values
cause an increase in pressure in response to higher
controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or
higher modulation wheel position), while minus
values cause a decrease in pressure in response to
higher controller values. The “Depth” setting is
reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display
— the horizontal axis represents the controller
value and the vertical axis represents pressure.
Set this parameter to “+00” if do not intend to
control pressure via a controller.
15: Prs Curve
 (VOICE mode only)
• Pressure Curve
• Settings: -16 … +16
Determines the relationship between the controller
value and pressure. When set to “+00” the relation-
ship is linear. That is, a change in the controller
value produces a corresponding change in pressure.
As the curve value increases the lower end of the
controller range has relatively little effect on the
sound while higher controller values produce more
dramatic changes. Negative curve values have the
opposite effect: the sound changes dramatically at
low controller values while higher values produce
relatively little effect. The “Curve” setting is
reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display
— the horizontal axis represents the controller
value and the vertical axis represents pressure.

Filter
16: Fil CC No.
 (VOICE mode only)
• Filter Control Change Number
• Settings: off… 95, AT, VEL, PB
The “Fil CC No.” parameter specifies the control-
ler to be used for filter cutoff frequency control
(page 45). When set to “off” no filter frequency
variation can be applied via a controller.
The “FilCtrlDpt” parameter, below, must be set
to an appropriate value (higher than “+01” or
lower than “-01”) for filter control to have any
effect.
Most voices use the low-pass filter type, but
some use the bandpass, high-pass, or band
