Section 7 — Drum Sound Parameters
10 ENSONIQ KT Musician’s Manual
Filter Page
The filter settings determine which ranges of frequencies will be allowed to pass through to the
output. Drum sounds always have a fixed 4 pole low pass filter. See “More About Filters” in
Section 6 — Standard Sound Parameters for further details.

Fc Cutoff/LevV
FC Cutoff = 127 LevV = 00
Fc Cutoff Range: 000 to 127
Determines the initial, or manual, filter cutoff frequency. A setting of 127 lets all the original
signal pass through the filter. Lower cutoff settings allow fewer high frequencies through,
somewhat like turning down the treble on a stereo.
LevV Range: 00 to 99
The Velocity level parameter will lower the filter cutoff with a softer keystrike. This means that
the setting you assign to Fc Cutoff is the maximum level — the level that will be reached with the
hardest keystrike. The amount of “LevV” will determine how much that level will be reduced as
you play softer. With this parameter you can have continuous dynamic control over the filter
cutoff by varying how hard you play.
Amp Pages
In the Amp pages you control the volume of the individual voices within a drum sound.

Gate Time/Release Time
Gate Time Range: 00 to 99
Determines the fixed amount of time the envelope stays at full level before entering the release
stage.
Note: This parameter pertains to FINISH mode only (found on the next page).
Release Time Range: 00 to 99
In NORMAL mode, this defines the time it will take the envelope to return to zero after the key
has been released. When in FINISH mode, this controls the amount of time it takes for a voice to
return to zero after the Gate Time.
