Determines the pitch of each Element in semitones. Settings: -48 - 0 - +48 Determines the fine tuning for the pitch of each Element. Settings: -64 - 0 - +63 Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the pitch in fine tuning (set above) of the selected Element, regarding C3 as the basic pitch. A positive setting will cause the pitch of lower notes to change lower and that of higher notes to change higher. Negative values will have the opposite effect. Settings: -64 - 0 -+63 This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for each note you play. This is effective in reproducing the natural pitch variations in acoustic instruments. It is also useful for creating unusual random pitch changes. The higher the value, the greater the pitch variation. A value of "0" results in no pitch change. Settings: 0 -127 From this display you can determine how the Pitch EG responds to velocity. Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG's Time parameters. Select the Segment first, then set its Time parameter. Positive Time settings will play back the specified Segment faster in proportion to the played velocity and negative values will play it back slower. Settings: EGTime: -64 - 0 - +63 Settings: Segment: atk, atk+dcy, dcy, atk+rls, all atk (attack EG Time Value affects Attack time. atk+dcy (attack + decay)...... EG Time Value affects Attack/Decay1 time. dcy (decay EG Time Value affects Decay time. atk+rls (attack + release) ...... EG Time Value affects Attack/Release time. all EG Time Value affects all PEG Time parameters. Determines the velocity sensitivity of the PEG Level. Positive settings will cause the pitch change to rise the harder you play the keyboard, and negative values will cause it to fall. The Curve parameter lets you select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how velocity affects the Pitch EG Depth. Settings: EGDepth: -64 - 0 - +63 Settings: Curve: 0 - 4 Determines the velocity sensitivity of the Pitch. Extreme values produce greater variation in PEG Depth. For positive values, the harder you play the keys, the greater the change in PEG Depth. For negative values, the softer you play the keys, the greater the change in PEG Depth. Settings: -64 - 0 - +63 From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Pitch EG, which determine how the pitch of the sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the moment the sound stops. The full names of the available parameters are shown in the chart below, as they appear in the display.

From this display you can set the Key Follow effect-in other words, how the pitch of the Element and its Pitch EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play. Determines the degree of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of adjacent notes). A Center Key setting is used as the basic setting. At +100 (the normal setting), adjacent notes are pitched one semitone (100 cents) apart. At 0, all notes are the same pitch. At +50, one octave is stretched out over twenty-four notes. For negative values, the settings are reversed. Settings: -200 - 0 - +200 n This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones, such as pitched drum sounds in a Normal Voice. Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on pitch. The note number set here is the same pitch as normal regardless of the Pitch Sensitivity setting. Depending on the Pitch Sensitivity parameter above, the further away from the Center Key the keys are played, the greater the degree of pitch change. Settings: C -2 - G8 n You can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing the desired key.
