Reference Voice Creating (Sound Creator) I SOUND G 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 more mellow, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. BRIGHTNESS HARMONIC CONTENT Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Volume Volume Cutoff Frequency Resonance These frequencies are "passed" by the filter. Cutoff range Frequency (pitch) Frequency (pitch) G EG (Envelope Generator) The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the 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. ATTACK DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The higher the value, the slower the attack. Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher the value, the slower the decay. Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release. Level RELEASE Sustain Level ATTACK DECAY RELEASE Time Key on Key off G VIBRATO DEPTH SPEED DELAY Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. Level SPEED DEPTH DELAY Time I EFFECT/EQ Same as in "Organ Flutes" on page 84, with the exception of the PANEL SUSTAIN parameter, which determines the sustain level applied to the edited voice when turning the [SUSTAIN] button in the VOICE EFFECT section on. I HARMONY Same as in the [FUNCTION] → HARMONY/ECHO display. See page 154. 87 TYROS Owner's Manual 85
