Detailed Settings for Each Function ([EDIT] Button)
You can make more detailed settings to the Tones assigned to
each of the Zones.
Press the ZONE SELECT button to select the Zone
to be set.
You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of the
following five elements.
Attack Time: The time it takes after the key is pressed for a
sound to reach full volume.
Release Time: The time it takes after the key is released for a
sound to become inaudible.
Cutoff Freq: Adjusts how much the filter is opened.
Resonance: This boosts the portions in the region around the
cutoff frequency, lending a particular quality to
the sound. Excessively high settings can
produce oscillation, causing the sound to
distort.
Decay Time: The time it is to take following the attack for the
volume to decrease.
Making abrupt changes in the settings values may
cause the sound to become distorted or overly
loud. Carefully monitor volume levels while making
the settings.
The effect may not be apparent with some Tones,
even when the value is changed.
This sets the depth of the reverb effect for each Tone.
When this value is set to “0,” no effect is applied
even when the [REVERB] button is pressed.
You can also make the setting by holding down
the [REVERB] button and adjusting any of the
ZONE LEVEL sliders.

milder attack; lower values
produce a sharper attack.
Release Time
Higher values produce
longer decay; set lower
values for a clear-cut sound.
Cutoff Freq
Higher values brighten the
sound; lower values make
the sound seem darker.
Resonance
Higher value makes the
special quality of the sound
stronger; lower value reduce
these characteristics.
Decay Time

volume to fall increases as
the value is raised; lowering
the value decreases the
decay time.
