Basics Section OSCíLimit) Note Limit EL1234 C-2 - G 8 6 FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter EG) Vel Limit 1 - 127 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 Element 3 types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As Velocity Element 2 illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones Element 1 at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass) Element 4 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 C-2 G8 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 5 PCH (Pitch) and PEG (Pitch EG) dynamic change in tonal characteristics. Here we Screens introduce how FEG works. 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. Level Cutoff range Range passed Cutoff range • 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.

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.
