Use these parameters to configure the noise and the keyboard tracking (how the sound “follows” or
changes according to the note you play) for the pitches of oscillators 1, 2 and 3.
Noise is used to create percussion instrument sounds, or sound effects such as surf. You can process
the noise sound by selecting and configuring the dedicated filter or decimator used for the noise gen-
erator.
1. Noise Type [LPF, HPF, BPF, Deci] (CC#29)
Selects the dedicated filter or the decimator used for the noise generator.
LPF: Low-pass filter.
HPF: High-pass filter.
BPF: Bandpass filter.
Deci: Decimator.
2. Noise Color [0...127] (CC#30)
Changes the sound of the noise generator.
When “LPF” is set for Noise Type: Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter.
When “HPF” is set for Noise Type: Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter.
When “BPF” is set for Noise Type: Adjusts the frequency band of the peak characteristics.
When “Deci” is set for Noise Type: Adjusts the sample rate.
Tip: The noise generator differs from the oscillators in that the sound is the same no matter what note
you play. However, you can make the pitch of the noise change according to the note you play, by set-
ting “Noise Color” for the virtual patch Destination (Dest), and by setting KbdTrk to either “Source 1”
or “Source 2”.
3. OSC 1 Keytrack (OSC1 KBD) [Ratio, Fixed]
This sets the keyboard tracking (how the sound “follows” or changes according to the note you play)
for the pitches of each oscillator.
Ratio: The oscillator pitch changes according to the note you play, as with a typical keyboard instru-
ment.
Fixed: The same pitch is produced no matter which note you play.
4. OSC 2 Keytrack (OSC2 KBD) [Ratio, Fixed]
5. OSC 3 Keytrack (OSC3 KBD) [Ratio, Fixed]
OSC 2 Keytrack and OSC 3 Keytrack are the same as OSC 1 Keytrack.
