The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90.

■ FILTER

FILTER settings determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a 
certain frequency range.

■ EG 

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce 
many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion 
sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.

• ATTACK ...... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum 

level after the key is played. The higher the value, the 
slower the attack.

• DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain 

level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher 
the value, the slower the decay.

• RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after 

the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release. 

Determines the filter, EG, and 
vibrato settings (see below).

In addition to making the 
sound either brighter or 
more mellow, Filter can be 
used to produce electronic, 
synthesizer-like effects.

Volume

Frequency 
(pitch)

Cutoff range

These frequencies are 

“passed” by the filter.

Determines the cutoff frequency or 
effective frequency (resonance) range of 
the filter (see diagram). Higher values 
result in a brighter sound.

Resonance

Determines the emphasis given to the 
cutoff frequency, set in BRIGHTNESS 
above (see diagram). Higher values result 
in a more pronounced effect.

If RELEASE is set to a large 
value, the sustain becomes 
long.
