5PCH (Pitch) and PEG (Pitch EG) Screens

Set the basic pitch parameters for each Element. You can detune Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting the PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator), you can control how the pitch changes over time.

• PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)

Using the PEG, you can control the transition in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the point at which it is released. As illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level (pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different PEG parameters can be set for each Element.

6FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter EG) Screens

You can use the filter to change the tonal characteristics of each Element, by adjusting overtones (harmonic tones) included in the waveform from the Element. There are several types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass) others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original waveform. You can determine such frequencies by specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff frequency). With some filters, you can adjust signal levels at several frequency bands. You can also set the Filter Envelope Generator (FEG) for time variance of how the filter works, which results in a dynamic change in tonal characteristics. Here we introduce how FEG works.

• FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)

Using the FEG, you can control the transition in tone from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the point at which it is released. As illustrated below, the Filter Envelope consists of five Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level parameters (for the amount of filtering). When you press a note on the keyboard, the cutoff frequency will change according to these envelope settings. This is useful for creating automatic wah effects, for example. Furthermore, different FEG parameters can be set for each Element.
