Velocity applied by tone generator Keyboard playing strength • Velocity Sensitivity Depth = 0 • Velocity Sensitivity Offset = 112 • This setting causes the tone generator to apply a fixed velocity, regardless of the keyboard playing strength. • This setting is convenient for organ-type voices. • By raising or lowering the Velocity Sensitivity Offset, you can vary the velocity that is applied by the tone generator. A setting of 64 produces a velocity of 1. A setting of 127 produces the maximum velocity. Keyboard playing strength • Velocity Sensitivity Depth = 32 • Velocity Sensitivity Offset = 96 • This setting is suitable when you want ve- locity to change in response to keyboard playing dynamics, but you don't want the velocity value to drop too low. • This setting is useful for brass riffs or for solo instruments. 7.

Modulation Wheel LFO depth pitch modulation, Modulation Wheel LFO depth filter modulation, Modulation Wheel LFO depth amplitude modulation 3 • For each part, these parameters specify the depth of the LFO effect on pitch, filter, and amplitude that is controlled by the modulation wheel. • Pitch modulation is vibrato, filter modulation is wah, am- plitude modulation is tremolo. • Higher values will produce a deeper effect. 0101 1101 000 - 127 9. Filter cutoff, Filter cutoff resonance Velocity applied by tone generator • Portamento is a function that smoothly changes the pitch between two notes of different pitch. • Portamento Switch specifies whether or not portamento will be applied to each part. • Portamento Time specifies the way in which portamento is applied to each part. Higher values will cause the pitch to change more slowly. Lower values will produce a faster change. • Portamento will not apply to drum voices or SFX kit voices. 0101 1101 Portamento Switch Off, On Portamento Time 000-127 • For each part, these parameters adjust the cutoff frequency of the filter, modifying the tone. • Since the filters of the QY700 are low pass filters, the portion of the sound above the cutoff frequency will be cut. • A low cutoff frequency will remove many of the overtones, causing the sound to be darker and mellower. • A high cutoff frequency will cut few or none of the overtones, allowing the original bright sound of the waveform to be output.
