Creating a Rhythm Set

A filter cuts or boosts a specific frequency region to change a sound’s brightness, thickness, or other qualities.

Type of filter

OFF:

No filter is used.

LPF:

Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above the cutoff frequency in order to

round off, or un-brighten the sound.

BPF:

Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency, and cuts the

rest. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.

HPF:

High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below the cutoff frequency. This is suitable

for creating percussive sounds emphasizing their higher tones.

PKG:

Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency. You can use

this to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change the cutoff frequency cyclically.

LPF2:

Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency are cut, the sensi-

tivity of this filter is half that of the LPF. This filter is good for use with simulated instrument sounds
such as the acoustic piano.

LPF3:

Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency are cut, the sensi-

tivity of this filter changes according to the Cutoff frequency. While this filter is also good for use with
simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance it exhibits differs from that of the LPF2, even with the
same TVF Envelope settings.

* If you set “LPF2” or “LPF3,” the setting for the Resonance parameter will be ignored.

Cutoff Frequency

0–127

Frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on the waveform’s frequency components

Resonance

0–127

Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound.

* Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Explanation

Cutoff V-Curve

FIX, 1–7

Curve that determines how keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) will affect the cutoff frequency

Set this to “FIX” if you don’t want the Cutoff frequency to be affected by the keyboard velocity.

Cutoff V-Sens

-63– +63

Use this parameter when changing the cutoff frequency to be applied as a result of changes in playing ve-
locity. If you want strongly played notes to raise the cutoff frequency, set this parameter to positive (+) set-
tings.

Resonance V-Sens

-63– +63

This allows keyboard velocity to modify the amount of Resonance.

If you want strongly played notes to have a greater Resonance effect, set this parameter to positive (+)
settings.
