Applying various effects to the sound

Quick Start

Changing the brightness of the sound and adding
special qualities (CUTOFF/RESONANCE)

The sound generator section of the RS-70 contains a

filter

that can cut or boost specific

frequency regions of the sound. [CUTOFF] specifies the frequency (cutoff frequency)
at which the filter will begin to modify the sound, and [RESONANCE] boosts the
region near the cutoff frequency to add a distinctive character to the sound.

fig.q05-06

1.

Turn the [CUTOFF] knob.

Turning this to the right (clockwise) brightens the sound, while turning it to the left
(counterclockwise) makes the sound seem darker.

2.

Turn the [RESONANCE] knob.

Turning this to the right makes the sound more distinctive, while turning it to the left
reduces these characteristics.

Using a lever to modify the sound

Changing the sound’s pitch in real time
(Pitch Bend Lever)

While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch, or
to the right to raise the pitch.

fig.q05-07.j

You can set up to a two-octave pitch bend range, adjustable in semitones.
For further information, refer to

Pitch Bend Range

(p. 58).

Adding a vibrato effect to the sound (Modulation Lever)

While playing the keyboard, move the lever away from you to add a vibrato effect.

fig.q05-08.j

When you want to use the Modulation Lever to add effects other than vibrato, refer
to

Mod (Modulation Assign)

(p. 126).
