Parameters

FILTER

Determines the timbre of the voice. See below for details.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) parameters affect the volume envelope of

 

the voice.

 

See below for details.

VIBRATO

Sets up the vibrato effect. See below for details.

VOLUME

Determines the volume of the voice.

FILTER (FREQ. and RESONANCE)

These settings determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or more mellow, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

FREQ. ............ Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter. (See diagram below.)

Higher values result in a brighter sound.

Frequency (pitch)

These frequencies are “passed” by the filter.

Frequency (pitch)

RESONANCE . Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency, set in Cutoff above. (See diagram below.) Higher values result in a more pronounced effect.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.

• ATTACK........... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after

the key is played. The higher the value, the quicker the attack.

VIBRATO

 

• DEPTH............

Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect (see diagram).

 

Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato.

• SPEED............

Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect (see diagram).

• DELAY ............

Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing

 

of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher

 

settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
