●What each parameter does

On this unit, parameter settings are made for each Part. In other words, parameter values belong to Parts, and not to sounds (Instruments). For example if you set Vibrato Rate to +20 and then select a different sound for that Part, the Vibrato Rate of +20 will apply to the newly selected sound (not the initial value of ± 0). In this way, parameters belonging to Parts are called Part Parameters.

*Parameters such as Vibrato, Filter and Envelope can be set not only for Parts, but also for sounds (Instruments). Sounds you create by modifying these parameters are called User sounds, and can be stored in Native map memory area (p.97).

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect created by modulating the pitch. Applying vibrato makes the sound more expressive.

❍Vibrato Rate: -64 — +63

This parameter adjusts the speed (frequency) of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make the pitch modulation faster, and negative (-) settings make it slower.

❍Vibrato Depth: -64 — +63

This parameter adjusts the depth of the pitch modula- tion. Positive (+) settings make the pitch modulation deeper, and negative (-) settings make it shallower.

Filter

By modifying the filter settings, you can control the timbre (tone) of the sound. The type of filters in this unit are called Low Pass Filters, and allow only frequencies lower than a specified frequency to pass. This frequency is called the Cutoff Frequency. By modifying the setting of the Cutoff Frequency you can make the sound brighter or darker. The Cutoff Frequency can change over time, controlled by the “envelope”. By adjusting the filter and envelope settings, you can create sounds that have movement and expression.

❍Vibrato Delay: -64 — +63

This parameter adjusts the time required for the vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+) settings increase the time before vibrato will begin, and negative settings shorten the time.
