Korg 2E ii Manuel D’Utilisation

The “JS (–X)” and “JS(+X)” settings specify the 
amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur 
when MIDI pitch bend messages are received or when 
the joystick is moved to left or right. A setting of +12 
allows the pitch to be controlled a maximum of one 
octave upward; a setting of –12 allows the pitch to be 
controlled a maximum of one octave downward.

“Ribbon (#16)” specifies the amount of pitch change 
(in semitones) that will occur when MIDI control 
change (CC) #16 messages are received or when the 
ribbon controller of a TRITON or other MIDI-con-
nected instrument is moved to left or right. With a set-
ting of +12, the pitch will rise one octave at the far right 
of the ribbon controller, and fall one octave downward 
at the far left of the ribbon controller.

When the “Intensity” value is set to +12.00, the pitch 
EG specified in the Pitch EG page will produce a maxi-
mum of ±1 octave of pitch change.

If “Enable” is checked, portamento will be applied.
Portamento makes the pitch change smoothly when 
you play the next note before releasing the previous 
note.
The “Time” parameter specifies the portamento time. 
As this value is increased, the pitch will change over a 
longer time. With a value of 000, there will be no porta-
mento.

If Porta.SW (CC#65) is assigned as the function of 
[SW1] or [SW2] key, the portamento effect can be 
switched on/off by [SW1] or [SW2] key.

An LFO can be used to cyclically modulate the pitch 
(the “vibrato” effect).

“Intensity (LFO Intensity)” sets the depth to which the 
LFO specified in 5.3: Ed-LFOs will affect the pitch. 
With a setting of +12.00, vibrato will produce a maxi-
mum of ±1 octave of pitch change.

 specifies the amount of vibrato that the 

LFO will produce when the joystick is pushed away 
from yourself.

“Intensity (AMS Intensity)” specifies the depth of 
vibrato that will be applied by the LFO when AMS 
(Alternate Modulation Source) is operated. For exam-
ple if “AMS (LFO1 AMS)” is set to AfterT and you set 
an appropriate value for “Intensity (AMS Intensity),” 
vibrato will be applied when you apply pressure to the 
keyboard or when MIDI aftertouch messages are 
received.

Here you can make settings for the pitch EG.
When you wish to create sound effects etc., set the 
pitch EG to make major changes in pitch over time.
To realistically simulate the slight change in pitch that 
occurs when a string is plucked or at the attack of a 
brass or vocal sound, you can use the EG to create a 
subtle change in pitch at the attack (

By using an EG (envelope generator) to apply time-
varying change or by using an LFO (Low Frequency 
Oscillator) to apply cyclic change to pitch, filter, or 
amp, you can create changes in the pitch, tone, or vol-
ume.

EG (Envelope Generator)
This instrument provides a Pitch EG, Filter EG, and 
Amplifier EG, which produce time-varying changes in 
pitch, tone, and volume respectively.

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
For each oscillator, this instrument provides two LFO’s 
that can be used to apply cyclical change in pitch, tone, 
and volume.
Examples of this are vibrato (cyclical change in pitch), 
wah

 (cyclical change in tone), and tremolo or auto-pan 

(cyclical change in volume).

The filter allows you to diminish or emphasize speci-
fied frequency areas of the multisample selected for the 
oscillator. The tone of the sound will depend signifi-
cantly on the filter settings.
This instrument provides Filter 1 for OSC1 and Filter 2 
for OSC2. For each of these filters, you can select from 
two types (Low Pass Resonance or Low Pass & High 
Pass

). Filter 2 can be used if “Mode (Oscillator Mode)” 

is set to Double.
