About the Tone parameters
TheToneparametersofaperformancehavethefollowing
characteristics.
•TheyallowyoutoeditsomeoftheToneparametersof
theprogramselectedforthetimbre.
•Theycanbesetindividuallyfortimbres1–16.
•AlloftheToneparametersareRelativeparameters.

programforeachofthetimbres.
Cutoff (Filter Cutoff) [–99...+99 (Rel, CC#74)]
Thisscalesthecutofffrequencyofallofthefiltersatonce.It
affectsbothFiltersAandB.
Resonance (Filter Resonance)
[–99...+99 (Rel, CC#71)]
Thisscalestheresonanceofallofthefiltersatonce.Itaffects
bothFiltersAandB.
Filt EG Int (Filter EG Intensity)
[–99...+99 (Rel, CC#79)]
ThisscalestheeffectoftheFilterEGonthecutofffrequency.
ItaffectsFiltersAandBsimultaneously.
‐99meansnomodulation.+99meansmaximum.Modula‐

AmpVel Int (AmpVelocity Intensity)
[–99...+99 (Rel)]
ThisscalestheeffectofvelocityontheAmplevel.
‐99removesthevelocitymodulationentirely.+99means
maximummodulationinthesamedirection,positiveor

theprogramforeachofthetimbres.
Attack (Filter/Amp EG Attack Time)
[–99...+99 (Rel, CC#73)]
ThisscalestheattacktimesoftheFilterandAmpEGs,along
withotherrelatedparameters.
