CREATING SOUNDS
Keyboard tracking affects how the cutoff frequency
changes as you play notes higher or lower on the key-
board. At full tracking (VALUE
=
3),
cutoff rises in exact
proportion to keyboard pitch, maintaining the same
rela-
tive timbre for all notes. At half tracking (VALUE 2) it
rises a half octave for every full octave on the keyboard.
(The difference will be obvious if resonance is set to a
high value.)

POL
Determines how the VCF cutoff frequency is affected by
the VCF EG (Envelope Generator). With normal polarity
(VALUE =
l),
the cutoff frequency rises during the
EG’s
Attack and falls during Decay. Use “inverted” polarity
(VALUE = 2) for special sounds where you want the op-
posite effect. (See page 29 VCF EG)

Cutoff frequency is swept up
during the attack portion of
the envelope, and down dur-
ing the decay
portion, etc.
Cutoff frequency is swept
down during the attack por-
tion, and up during the de-
cay portion of the envelope.

the VCF Envelope Generator (EG) will affect the cutoff
frequency. The higher the value, the more obvious the
change in tone color (timbre). (See page 29 VCF EG)
