• EG Time, Segment

Determines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG’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

Affects the Attack Time.

ATK+ DCY

Affects the Attack Time and Decay1 Time.

DCY

Affects the Decay Time.

ATK+ RLS

Affects the Attack Time and Release Time.

all

Affects all FEG Time parameters.

• EG Level, Curve

Determines the velocity sensitivity of the Filter EG Level. Positive settings cause greater Filter changes the harder you play the keyboard. Negative settings do the opposite; the softer you play, the more the sound changes. The Curve parameter lets you select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how velocity affects the Filter EG.

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

• Cutoff

Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Cutoff frequency of the Filter EG. Extreme values produce greater variation in the Cutoff frequency. For positive values, the harder you play the keys, the greater the change in the Cutoff frequency. Negative values do the opposite; the frequency changes more the softer you play.

❏ Settings -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

• Resonance

Determines the degree to which velocity affects the Resonance of the Filter EG. Extreme values produce greater variation in the Resonance. For positive values, the harder you play the keys, the greater the Resonance change. Negative values do the opposite; the Resonance changes more the softer you play.

❏ Settings -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

Basic Structure (page 47)

From this display you can make all the time and level setting for the Filter EG, which determine how the tonal quality of the sound changes over time.

●[F3]-[SF4] Normal Element Filter Key Follow

From this display you can set the Key Follow effect for the Filter — in other words, how the tonal qualities of the element and its Filter EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.

nThe availability of the Filter Key Follow parameter depends on the Break Point and Offset settings described on page 144.
