Editing a Voice (Voice Edit) Sound Filter Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. Brightness Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency These frequencies are "passed" by the filter. Harmonic Cont. (Harmonic Content) Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in Brightness above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Volume Cutoff range Frequency (pitch) Resonance Frequency (pitch) EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the Level 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. Sustain Level Time Attack Decay Release Key-on Key-off Attack Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. Decay Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Release Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Vibrato Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. Pitch Speed Delay Depth Time Depth Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. Speed Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. Delay Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. Modulation When the Modulation function is assigned to a pedal (page 44), the pedal can be used to modulate the (+)/(-) parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters. Filter Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency.
