■ Q: Determines the extent to which keyboard velocity controls filter Q. When set to 00,
no matter how hard or soft you play the Q stays constant. With positive values (up to
+15), playing more forcefully increases the Q. With negative values (down to -16),
playing more forcefully decreases Q. Note that overall volume levels can change with
changes in Q; this is normal.
Note: The Fc and Q settings interact with the Filter controls (DYNAMIC PROCESSING
13). You will probably need to “tweak” the Filter module settings for optimum results.
■ Pitch: Determines where pitch will be held respective to keyboard dynamics. When
set to 00, the pitch remains constant no matter how forcefully or softly you play the
keyboard. Progressively higher values give higher-pitched notes as you play more
forcefully. Example: When set to 05, softly played notes are fairly close to (if not the same
as) concert pitch and are somewhat lower in pitch than forcefully played notes; when set
to 15, forcefully played notes are much higher in pitch than softly played notes. This can
be useful for percussive sounds.

DYNAMIC PROCESSING 18 VELOCITY TO
(VCA ATTACK,
FILTER ATTACK,
PANNING
This function ties the VCA attack time, filter envelope attack time, and panning to
how forcefully you play the keyboard.
Application: Keyboard-controlled VCA attack is excellent for string and horn sounds,
where bowing or blowing softly produces a slower attack than rapid bowing or blowing,
which produces a much faster attack.
Application: Tying keyboard dynamics to filter attack is very useful with string parts
when you want legato sections to sound more timbrally muted than staccato sections.
1. Activate DYNAMIC PROCESSING 18. The display will say:

...where XX is a two-digit number between 00 and 15.
