Level,
Curve
Determines the velocity sensitivity of the Amplitude EG Level. For positive settings, the more strongly you play the
keyboard, the more the volume changes. Negative settings do the opposite; the more softly you play, the more the
volume changes. The Curve parameter lets you select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically
indicated in the display), that determine how velocity affects the Amplitude EG.
Settings: Level: 64 ~ 0 ~ +63
Curve: 0 ~ 4
[SF3] AEG
(Amplitude Envelope Generator)
From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Amplitude EG, which determine how the
volume of the sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in volume from the moment a note
is pressed on the keyboard to the moment the sound stops.
The full names of the available parameters are shown in the chart below, as they appear in the display.
Settings: TIME: 0 ~ 127
LEVEL: 0 ~ 127
n For details on the AEG, see page 162.
[SF4] KEY FLW (Key Follow)
From this display you can set the Key Follow effect for Amplitude – in other words, how the volume of the Element
and its Amplitude EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.
LevelSens (Level Sensitivity) Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the volume of the
selected Element. A Center Key setting of C3 is used as the basic setting.
A positive setting will lower the output level for lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A negative setting will have
the opposite effect.
Settings: -200 ~ 0 ~+200
FCenterKey
This indicates that the central note for Level Sensitivity above is C3. At C3, the volume (level) remains unchanged.
For other notes played, the volume varies according to the particular note and the Level Sensitivity setting. Keep in
mind that this is for display purposes only; the value cannot be changed.
EGTimeSens
(EG Time Sensitivity)
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Amplitude EG times
of the selected Element. The Center Key (next parameter) is used as the basic amplitude for this parameter.
A positive setting will cause the amplitude of lower notes to change slower and that of higher notes to change faster.
Negative values will have the opposite effect.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
FCenterKey
Determines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on Amplitude EG. Depending on the EG Time
Sensitivity parameter above, the further away from the Center Key the keys are played, the more the time of the
Amplitude EG deviates from the norm.
When the Center Key is played, the AEG behaves according to its actual settings. The amplitude change
characteristics for other notes will vary in proportion to the EGTime settings.
Settings: C -2 ~ G8
n You can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing the
desired key. Refer to the Basic Operation section, page 53.
[SF5] SCALE
(Amplitude Scaling)
Amplitude Scaling controls the output level (set in the [F4] AMP [SF1] LVL /PAN display) according to the
positions of the notes on the keyboard. You can divide the entire keyboard by four break points, and assign different
offset values of amplitude to them respectively. Refer to the setting example on page 211.
Settings: BREAK POINT 1 ~ 4: C-2 ~ G8
Settings: OFFSET 1 ~ 4: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127
n You can also set the Break Point directly from the Keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing the
desired key. Refer to the Basic Operation section, page 53.
