Adding a distinctive character to the
sound (Resonance)
This setting emphasizes the overtones in the region of
the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound.
1. In the REALTIME MODIFY section, press [FIL-
TER/AMP/PITCH] several times to make the
FILTER indicator light.
2. Rotate the [RESONANCE] knob to adjust the
resonance setting.

Range: 0–127
As the knob is rotated further clockwise, the sound
will take on more character. Rotating it counterclock-
wise will make the sound more natural.

Depending on the cutoff frequency setting, raising the
resonance excessively may cause the sound to distort
suddenly.
In order to prevent the resonance from being increased
excessively, factory settings have been made so that
the value will not rise beyond “115” even if the [RESO-
NANCE] knob is rotated all the way to the right. This
is called the Resonance Limiter. You are free to adjust
this upper limit.
☞ “Specifying the Variable Range of
Resonance (Resonance Limiter)” (p. 169)
If you have increased the Resonance Limiter setting,
be careful not to raise the resonance excessively.

Making the Brightness Change
Over Time (Filter Envelope)
On acoustic instruments, the tone quality (brightness)
often changes over the duration of a note. For exam-
ple, on a piano, the sound at the beginning of each
note contains many overtones (i.e., has a bright tone),
and as the note decays to silence, the overtones dimin-
ish, making the sound more mellow. The F-ENV
(Filter Envelope) parameters let you create this type of
tonal change over time.

Filter envelope settings
1. In the REALTIME MODIFY section, press [FIL-
TER/AMP/PITCH] several times to make the
FILTER indicator light.
2. Press [ENVELOPE/LFO1/EFFECTS] several
times to make the ENVELOPE indicator
light.
3. Use the [ATTACK] / [DECAY] / [SUSTAIN] /
[RELEASE] knobs to adjust the filter enve-
lope values.
