●[F2]-[SF2] Normal Element Pitch Velocity Sensitivity

From this display you can determine how the Pitch EG responds to velocity. (For Pitch EG settings, see “PEG Time, Level” below.)

• EG Time, Segment

Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG’s Time parameters. Select the Segment, then set its Time parameter. Positive Time settings will play back the specified Segment faster and negative values will play it back slower.

❏ Settings Time	-64 ~0 ~+63
Segment	ATK, ATK+DCY, DCY,
	ATK+RLS, all

ATK

EG Time Value affects Attack time.

ATK+DCY

EG Time Value affects Attack/Decay1 time.

DCY

EG Time Value affects Decay time.

ATK+RLS

EG Time Value affects Attack/Release time.

all

EG Time Value affects all PEG Time parameters.

• EG Level, Curve

Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG Level. Positive settings will cause the level to rise the harder you play the keyboard, and negative values will cause it to fall. The Curve parameter lets you select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how velocity affects the Pitch EG.

❏ Settings EG Level	-64 ~0 ~+63
Curve	0~4

• Pitch

Determines the degree to which velocity affects the pitch change of the Pitch EG. Extreme values produce greater variation in pitch change. For positive values, the harder you play the keys, the greater the change in pitch. For negative values, the softer you play the keys, the greater the change in pitch.

❏ Settings -64 ~ 0 ~+63

●[F2]-[SF3] Normal Element Pitch PEG Time, Level

Basic Structure (page 46)

From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Pitch EG, which determine how the pitch of the sound changes over time.

These can be used to control the change in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the moment the sound stops.

●[F2]-[SF4] Normal Element Pitch Key Follow

From this display you can set the Key Follow effect

— in other words, how the pitch of the element and its Pitch EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.

• PitchSens (Pitch Sensitivity)

Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the pitch of the selected element. The Center Key (next parameter) is used as the basic pitch for this parameter.

A positive setting will cause the pitch of lower notes to change lower and that of higher notes to change higher. Negative values will have the opposite effect.

❏ Settings -200% ~ 0 ~ +200%

nFor a setting of 100%, neighboring notes are pitched one semitone (100 cents) apart.
