Creating a Patch
 
For details on these settings, refer to 
 
“How to Make Patch 
Settings”
 
 (p. 46).
 
Patch TVF
 
Filter Type
 
Selects the type of filter. A filter cuts or boosts a specific frequency 
region to change a sound’s brightness, thickness, or other qualities.
 
Value
OFF:
 
No filter is used.
 
LPF:
 
Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all 
frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) in 
order to round off, or un-brighten the sound. This is the 
most common filter used in synthesizers.
 
BPF:
 
Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the 
region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq), and cuts the 
rest. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.
 
HPF:
 
High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region 
below the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq). This is suitable 
for creating percussive sounds emphasizing their higher 
tones.
 
PKG:
 
Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the 
region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq). You can use 
this to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to 
change the cutoff frequency cyclically.
 
LPF2:
 
Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components 
above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) are cut, the 
sensitivity of this filter is half that of the LPF. This makes 
it a comparatively warmer low pass filter. This filter is 
good for use with simulated instrument sounds such as 
the acoustic piano.
 
LPF3:
 
Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components 
above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) are cut, the 
sensitivity of this filter changes according to the Cutoff 
frequency. While this filter is also good for use with 
simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance it 
exhibits differs from that of the LPF2, even with the 
same TVF Envelope settings.
 
If you set “LPF2” or “LPF3,” the setting for the Resonance 
parameter will be ignored (p. 58).
 
Cutoff Frequency 
 
★
 
Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on 
the waveform’s frequency components.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
With “LPF/LPF2/LPF3” selected for the Filter Type parameter, 
lower cutoff frequency settings reduce a tone’s upper harmonics for 
a more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound 
brighter.
If “BPF” is selected, harmonic components will change depending 
on the TVF Cutoff Frequency setting. This can be useful when 
creating distinctive sounds.
With “HPF” selected, higher Cutoff Frequency settings will reduce 
lower harmonics to emphasize just the brighter components of the 
sound.
With “PKG” selected, the harmonics to be emphasized will vary 
depending on Cutoff Frequency setting.
 
To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative 
differences in the Cutoff Frequency values set for each tone, set 
the Cutoff Offset parameter (p. 49).
 
Resonance 
 
★
 
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff 
frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings 
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
 
To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative 
differences in the Resonance values set for each tone, set the 
Resonance Offset parameter (p. 50).
