Use DKit Setting

This is valid when “OSC Mode” is set to Drums. If this is checked, the pan location specified by the Drum Kit for each drum sound will be used. If this is unchecked, all drum sounds will sound at the same location. Preset drum kits are set to stereo settings. Normally you will leave this checked.

Amp1 Mod. tab

Keyboard Track

This lets you vary the volume by the keyboard location you play.

When “Ramp Low” has a positive (+) value, the volume will increase as you play lower on the keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume will decrease as you play lower on the keyboard.

When “Ramp High” has a positive (+) value, the volume will increase as you play higher on the keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume will decrease as you play higher on the keyboard.

Amp Modulation

“Velocity Intensity” is used by most programs to decrease the volume of softly played notes and increase the volume of strongly played notes, and this Amp Modulation 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.

LFO 1/2

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 “LFO Intensity” value.

“AMS Intensity” adjusts the depth by which the trem- olo effect produced by the LFO will be affected when you operate an “AMS” (alternate modulation source). For example if “AMS” is set to JS–Y, moving the joy- stick toward yourself will apply tremolo.

Amp1 EG tab

Here you can make settings for the amplifier EG that produces changes in 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.

P5: Edit-Common LFO LFO settings

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 whose settings you make here can be adjusted in pages P2: Edit-Pitch, P3: Edit- Filter, and P4: Edit-Amp.

OSC (1/2) LFO (1/2)

“Waveform” selects the type of LFO. You can choose from a variety of waveforms, including standard waveforms such as Triangle, Saw, Square, and Sine, as well as Step or Random waveforms that produce a sample-and-hold effect (p.20 in the Parameter Guide). A wide range of variations can also be produced using the “Offset,” “Fade,” and “Delay” parameters, and by changing the sign of the “Intensity” parameters in P2: Edit-Pitch, P3: Edit-Filter, and P4: Edit-Amp. “Fre- quency” sets the speed of the LFO.

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.

Frequency 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 arpeggiator or sequencer. This lets you produce vibrato, wah, auto-pan, or tremolo that is synchronized to the playback speed of the arpeggiator.
