Here we are going to modify the multi-sample (the basic waveform).
The multi-sample is the waveform (a PCM recording) that is the core of the program.
The
TRINITY series
provides 375 types of multi-samples, ranging from instrumental sounds such
as piano and guitar, to synthesizer sounds and special effects.
Multi-samples are selected in Program Edit mode P1, in the second tab page (Osc Basic).
You can clearly hear the result of changing the multisample for any program, but for this example
lets select a piano-type program and try changing the multisample.

of the procedure Amplier settings on page 30 of this manual.
Adjust the Frequency parameter to change the
cutoff frequency. With lter types other than
Low Pass, higher settings will result in a
brighter sound, and lower settings will result
in a darker sound.
As the value of the Resonance parameter is
increased with lter types other than Band
Reject, the frequencies in the area of the cutoff
frequency will be emphasized as shown in the
diagrams, producing a more characteristic
sound.
Although the effect of adjusting these parame-
ters will depend on the selected lter type,
you will notice that the Frequency and Reso-
nance settings can create major changes in the
tone color.

< Filter routing >
On the TRINITY series, the way in which the two lters are con-
nected is referred to as the routing. The lters can be routed in one
of the following four ways.
parallel: Filter 1 A and lter 1 (2) B are connected in parallel.
serial: Filter 1 (2) A and lter 1 (2) B are connected in series.
single: Only lter 1 (2) A is used.
thru: No lter is used.
< Filter EG and Amplier EG >
When the Filter EG is used to control the cutoff frequency, the tone will change over time.
However the volume changes produced by the Amplier EG will affect the way that changes
in tone are heard.
For example, the character of the sound will differ greatly depending on whether the volume
or the tone rises rst. If the tone rises rst, the sound will appear milder, like a string instru-
ment. If the volume rises rst, the sound will appear more distinctive, like a brass instrument.
As you edit, make adjustments to both the Filter EG and the Amplier EG.
