The best way to understand Amplitude Scaling is by example. For the settings shown in the example display above, the basic Amplitude (volume) value for the selected element is 80, and the various Offset values at the selected Break point settings change that basic value accordingly. The specific changes to the Amplitude are shown in the diagram below. The Amplitude changes in a linear fashion between successive Break Points as shown.

				84

Break Point 1		Break Point 2	Break Point 3	Break Point 4

nBP1 to BP4 will be automatically be arranged in ascending order across the keyboard.

nRegardless of the size of these Offsets, the minimum and maximum Cutoff limits (values of 0 and 127, respectively) cannot be exceeded.

nAny note played below the BP1 note results in the BP1 Level setting. Likewise, any note played above the BP4 note results in the BP4 Level setting.

●[F5] Normal Element LFO

Basic Structure (page 47)

This display gives you a comprehensive set of controls over the LFO for each individual element. The LFO can be used to create vibrato, wah, tremolo and other special effects, by applying it to the pitch, filter and amplitude parameters.

Voice Edit mode

• Wave

Determines the LFO waveform used to vary the sound. ❏ Settings saw, tri, squ

saw (sawtooth wave) tri (triangle wave)

squ (square wave)

• Speed

Determines the speed of the LFO waveform. The higher the value, the faster the speed.

❏ Settings 0 ~ 63

Speed = Fast	Speed = Slow
Time	Time

• KeyOnSync				mode
When this is set to on, the LFO waveform is reset every				Voice
time a note is played.
❏ Settings	off, on			Reference
Sync off		Sync on
	Time		Time
Key on		Key on
• KeyOnDelay
Determines the delay time before the LFO comes into
effect. A higher value results in a longer delay time.
❏ Settings	0 ~ 127
Short delay		Long delay

Key on Key on

• PMOD (Pitch Modulation Depth)

Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the pitch of the sound. The higher the value, the greater the amount of pitch modulation.

❏ Settings 0 ~ 127
