181•HP6+LP18 and HP6+LP12 are combinations of a high-pass filter with 6 dB/
oct and a low-pass filter with 18 and 12 dB/oct, respectively (asymmetric
band-pass filter). Frequencies below and above the cutoff are attenuated.
Attenuation is more pronounced for the frequencies above the cutoff.
•HP12+LP6 and HP18+LP6 are combinations of a high-pass filter with 12
and 18 dB/oct and a low-pass filter with 6 dB/oct (asymmetric band-pass
filter). Frequencies below and above the...

182Cutoff Velocity
Controls the cutoff modulation from velocity.
Cutoff Key Follow
Adjusts the cutoff modulation using the note number. Increase this parameter
to raise the cutoff with higher notes. At 100 %, the cutoff follows the played pitch
exactly.
Filter Envelope
On the left on the Env F/A tab, you can set up the filter envelope.
Attack
Controls the attack time of the filter envelope.
Decay
Controls the decay time of the filter envelope.
Sustain
Controls the sustain...

183Velocity
Controls the level modulation from velocity. At 0, all notes are played with the
same level.
Amplifier Envelope Parameters
Attack
Controls the attack time of the amplifier envelope.
Decay
Controls the decay time of the amplifier envelope.
Sustain
Controls the sustain level of the amplifier envelope.
Release
Controls the release time of the amplifier envelope.

184LFO Section
In the LFO section, you can make settings for LFO A and LFO B.
LFO Waveform and Shape
•Sine produces smooth modulation, suitable for vibrato or tremolo. Shape
adds additional harmonics to the waveform.
•Triangle is similar to Sine. Shape continuously changes the triangle
waveform to a trapezoid.
•Saw produces a ramp cycle. Shape continuously changes the waveform
from ramp down to triangle to ramp up.
•Pulse produces stepped modulation, where the modulation...

Raven
Raven provides the sound of a classical Italian concert grand with six velocity layers and
adjustable sustain resonances. Its Tone control allows you to adapt the tonal range from very
soft romantic to more intense colors. In addition, you can modify the character of the note-off
behavior by adding a dedicated note-off layer.

186•If you turn the knob to the left, the number of hard velocity layers that are
used in the sound is reduced, that is, the sound becomes softer.
•If you turn the knob to the right, the number of soft velocity layers that are
used is reduced, that is, the sound becomes harder.
NOTE
The Tone control is independent from the influence that the velocity has on the
level of the piano. That means that you can always play the entire level range,
even with the softest or the hardest...

behavior by adding a dedicated note-off layer.
Tone
Eagle comes with 12 different velocity layers. The Tone control allows you to
specify how these layers are used.
•If the Tone control is in middle position, different input velocities trigger all
12 layers.

used in the sound is reduced, that is, the...

188If this option is activated, the sustain resonance layers are played when the
sustain pedal is held and notes are played. You can adjust the level of the
resonance layer with the dial on the right.
NOTE
The piano also allows for repedaling, which means that the sustain resonances
will also be blended in when the sustain pedal is pressed again shortly after
notes have been played.
If you do not want to use the sustain resonance layers, deactivate this option to
save CPU...

settings.
Select Samples
Allows you to choose from a range of included samples. Hot Brass provides three
differently mixed sections and a pure saxophone section. You can add additional
authenticity to your play using the included falls, growls, doits, shakes, and
staccato articulations.

190Creating Modulations
You create modulations by selecting a source, a modifier, and a destination from the pop-up
menus in the modulation matrix.
PROCEDURE
1.Click the modulation Source field and select the modulation source.
2.Optional: Click in the modulation Modifier field and select the parameter that you want
to use to modify the modulation.
This modifier is used to scale the output of the modulation source.
3.Optional: Specify whether you want the Source and...
