Resonance modulation

The effect of resonance

Low Pass

Level

Low resonance value High resonance value

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

Selects the source that will control the “Resonance” level. See “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123.

Intensity (AMS Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)” will have on the resonance level specified by “Resonance A”.

For example if Velocity has been selected, changes in key- board velocity will affect the resonance.

With positive (+) values, the resonance will increase as you play more strongly, and as you play more softly the resonance will approach the level specified by the “Resonance” setting.

With negative (–) values, the resonance will decrease as you play more strongly, and as you play more softly the resonance will approach the level specified by the “Resonance” setting.

The resonance level is determined by adding the “Resonance” and “Intensity (AMS Intensity)” values.

-99…+99 Parameter value.

Filter B

Frequency B (Cutoff Frequency B)

This parameter specifies the cutoff frequency of filter B. This parameter will be displayed when “Filter Type” is set to Low Pass & High Pass.

High Pass

Level

This filter cuts the low-frequency range that lies below the cutoff frequency. By cutting the lower overtones, it lightens the tone.

12dB/oct

Frequency

00…99 Cutoff frequency value.

PAGE 8 - FILTER MODULATION

These settings let you apply modulation to the cutoff fre- quency (“Frequency”) of the filter for the selected oscillator to modify the tone.

Filter Mod Osc1

Selected: Osc1

Tracking Low: B 3

Tracking High: F 5

Ramp Low:

+48

When “Filter Type” is Low Pass Resonance, parameters for filter B will not be editable (greyed out).

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alter- natively, you can select oscillators using the F1-F4 buttons.

Filter keyboard tracking

Tracking Low/High

These settings specify keyboard tracking for the cutoff fre- quency of the filter for the selected oscillator. The way in which the cutoff frequency is affected by the keyboard loca- tion you play can be specified by the “Tracking Low”, “Track- ing High”, “Ramp Low” and “Ramp High” parameters.

C–1…G9Lowest/Highest note in the range.

Tracking Low

Keyboard tracking will apply to the range below the specified note number.

Tracking High

Keyboard tracking will apply to the range above the specified note number.

Ramp

This parameter specifies the angle of keyboard tracking. -99…+99 Angle value.

Here is how cutoff frequency is affected by keyboard location and the Ramp setting (“Intensity to A” and “Intensity to B” = +50):

Cutoff frequency

 

High Ramp=+99

 

 

 

High Ramp=+62

 

 

 

 

 

 

High Ramp=0

Low Ramp=+99

 

 

High Ramp=–43

 

 

 

Low Ramp=+43

 

 

High Ramp=–99

 

 

 

Low Ramp=0

 

 

 

Low Ramp=–62

 

 

Key

Low Key

 

 

High Key

Low Ramp=–99

 

 

Ramp Low

Ramp High

If “Intensity to A” and “Intensity to B” are set to +50, “Ramp Low” is set to –62 and “Ramp High” is set to +62, the angle of the change in cutoff frequency will correspond to the key- board location (pitch). This means that the oscillation that occurs when you increase the “Resonance A” will correspond to the keyboard location.

If you set “Ramp Low” to +43 and “Ramp High” to –43, the cutoff frequency will not be affected by keyboard location. Use this setting when you do not want the cutoff frequency to change for each note.

Tracking to A/B

These parameters specify the note numbers at which key- board tracking will begin to apply, and set the “Intensity to A” and “Intensity to B” parameters to specify the depth and direction of the change applied to filters A and B.

For the range of notes between “Key Low” and “Key High”, the cutoff frequency will change according to the keyboard location (pitch).
