●[F4]-[SF4] Normal Element Amplitude Key Follow

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

n The availability of the Amplitude Key Follow

Reference	parameter depends on the Break Point and Offset

• LevelSens (Level Sensitivity)

Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the volume of the selected element. A Center Key setting of C3 is used as the basic setting.

A positive setting will lower the output level for lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A negative setting will have the opposite effect.

❏ Settings -200% ~ 0 ~+200%

• CenterKey

This indicates that the central note for Level Sensitivity above is C3. At C3, the volume (level) remains unchanged. For other notes played, the volume varies according to the particular note and the Level Sensitivity setting. Keep in mind that this is for display purposes only; the value cannot be changed.

• EGTimeSens (EG Time Sensitivity)

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

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

❏ Settings -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

• CenterKey

Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on Amplitude EG. Depending on the EG Time Sensitivity parameter above, the further away from the Center Key the keys are played, the more the time of the Amplitude EG deviates from the norm.

When the Center Key is played, the AEG behaves according to its actual settings. The amplitude change characteristics for other notes will vary in proportion to the EGTime settings.

●[F4]-[SF5] Normal Element Amplitude Scaling

Amplitude Scaling controls the output level (set in the [F4]-[SF1] display) according to the positions of the notes on the keyboard. You can divide the entire keyboard by four break points, and assign different offset values of amplitude to them respectively.
