Page 11: VDF velocity sensitivity
On the i40M, the VDA EG can be affected by your key-
board playing dynamics or by the velocity values of
MIDI Note messages received from an external MIDI
device. Settings can be made so that strongly played
notes will have a more greatly emphasized attack or
decay.
The five parameters in the lower line also allow play-
ing dynamics to modify the speed of the VDA EG.
Note velocity can shorten or length each of the four EG
segments.
VDA1/VDA2
When a double oscillator program is selected, this
specifies the oscillator whose amplifier parameters
will be edited.
You can also switch between oscillators 1 and 2 by
pressing the VARIATION [1] or [2] buttons.
Amount
[–99…+99]
Specifies the effect that keyboard dynamics will have
on the VDA EG.
Positive (+) settings will cause EG depth to decrease
for softly-played notes, causing the volume level to
change less.
Negative (–) settings will cause EG depth to decrease
for strongly-played notes.
With a setting of 0, the depth will be as specified by the
Attack Time, Decay Time, Slope Time, and Release
time parameters.
T (Time amount)
[00…99]
Specifies the amount of the effect that velocity will
have on VDA EG speed.
Higher values will produce a greater change.
With a setting of 0, EG speed will not be affected.
This parameter only specifies the amount of the effect
that velocity has on EG speed. Whether velocity will
length or shorten the various EG times is determined
by the following four parameters.
A (Attack time)
[–, 0, +]
Specifies the direction of the change that velocity will
cause for Attack Time.
A setting of “+” will cause the attack time to be short-
ened for strongly played notes.
A setting of “–” will cause the attack time to be length-
ened for strongly played notes.
With a setting of 0, the attack time will not be affected
by velocity.
D (Decay time)
[–, 0, +]
Specifies the direction of the change that velocity will
cause for Decay Time.
This setting functions in the same way as the Attack
Time parameter.
S (Slope time)
[–, 0, +]
Specifies the direction of the change that velocity will
cause for Slope Time.
This setting functions in the same way as the Attack
Time parameter.
R (Release time)
[–, 0, +]
Specifies the direction of the change that velocity will
cause for Release Time.
