Creating a Rhythm Set
 
P-Env Level 0–4 (Pitch Envelope Level 0–4)
 
Specify the pitch envelope levels (Level 0–Level 4). It determines 
how much the pitch changes from the reference pitch (the value set 
with Coarse Tune or Fine Tune on the Pitch screen) at each point. 
Positive (+) settings will cause the pitch to be higher than the 
standard pitch, and negative (-) settings will cause it to be lower.
 
Value:
 
 -63– +63

Set Settings”

Rhythm 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 Frequency), 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 Frequency). 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 Frequency). 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 Frequency) 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 Frequency) 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.
 
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.
 
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
