161Owner’s Manual EGDepth, 
CurveDetermines the velocity sensitivity of the FEG Level.
For positive settings, the more strongly you play the keyboard, the more Filter changes the sound. Negative 
settings do the opposite; the more softly you play, the more the sound changes. The Curve parameter lets you 
select from five different preset velocity curves (graphically indicated in the display), that determine how 
velocity affects the Filter EG.
Settings:EGDepth: -64 – 0 – +63
Settings:Curve: 0 – 4
CutoffDetermines the degree to which velocity affects the Cutoff frequency of the Filter EG. For positive values, the 
more strongly you play the keys, the greater the change in the Cutoff frequency. Negative values do the 
opposite; the more softly you play, the greater the change in frequency.
Settings:-64 – 0 – +63
ResonanceDetermines the degree to which velocity affects the Resonance of the Filter EG. For positive values, the more 
strongly you play the keys, the greater the Resonance change. Negative values do the opposite; the more 
softly you play, the greater the change in Resonance.
Settings:-64 – 0 – +63
[SF3] FEG 
(Filter Envelope Generator)From this display you can make all the time and level settings for the Filter EG, which determine how the tonal 
quality of the sound changes over time. These can be used to control the change in Cutoff Frequency 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: -128 – 0 – +127
DEPTH: -64 – 0 – +63
nFor details on the FEG, see page 133. 
[SF4] KEY FLW (Key Follow)From this display you can set the Key Follow effect for the Filter—in other words, how the tonal qualities of the 
Element and its Filter EG respond to the particular notes (or octave range) you play.
CutoffSens (Cutoff Sensitivity)Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Filter of the 
selected Element. A Center Key setting (next parameter) of C3 is used as the basic setting by the Cutoff 
parameter. A positive setting will lower the Cutoff frequency for lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A 
negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings:-200 – 0 – +200
FCenterKeyThis indicates that the central note for Cutoff Sensitivity above is C3. At C3, the tone remains unchanged. For 
other notes played, the Cutoff Frequency varies according to the particular note and the Cutoff Sensitivity 
setting. Keep in mind that this is for display purposes only; the value cannot be changed.
Settings:C -2 – G8
EGTimeSens 
(EG Time  Sensitivity)Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or octave range) affect the Filter EG times 
of the selected Element. The basic speed of change for the FEG is at the note specified in the Center Key (next 
parameter). A positive setting will cause slower changes for lower notes and faster changes for higher notes. A 
negative setting will have the opposite effect.
Settings:-64 – 0 – +63
FCenterKeyDetermines the central note or pitch for the Key Follow effect on Filter 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 
Filter EG deviates from the normal. When the Center Key note is played, the FEG behaves according to its 
actual settings. The Filter change characteristics for other notes will vary in proportion to the EG Time settings.
Settings:C -2 – G8
nYou can also set the Center Key directly from the keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing 
the desired key.
[SF5] SCALE (Filter Scaling)Filter Scaling controls the filter cutoff frequency 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 Cutoff Frequency to 
them respectively. Refer to the setting example on page 169.
Settings:BREAK POINT 1 – 4: C-2 – G8
OFFSET 1 – 4: 128 – 0 – +127
nYou can also set the Break Point directly from the Keyboard, by holding down the [INFORMATION] button and pressing

Setting example of Filter Scaling
The best way to understand Filter Scaling is by example. For the 
settings shown in the example display below, the basic Cutoff 
frequency value is 64, and the various Offset values at the 
selected Break point settings change that basic value accordingly. 
The specific changes to the Cutoff frequency are shown in the 
diagram below. The Cutoff frequency changes in a linear fashion 
between successive Break Points as shown. 
Setting example of Amplitude Scaling
The best way to understand Amplitude Scaling is by example. 
For the settings shown in the example display above, the basic 
Amplitude (volume) value for the selected Element is 80, and the 
various Offset values at the selected Break point settings change 
that basic value accordingly. The specific changes to the 
Amplitude are shown in the diagram below. The Amplitude 
changes in a linear fashion between successive Break Points as 
shown.

M.TuningNo.TypeM.TuningRootComments
00Equal Temp (Equal temperament) -- The “compromise” tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and 
found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and 
music can be played in any key with identical pitch relationships. However, none of 
the intervals are perfectly in tune.
01PureMaj (Pure major) C – B
This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major thir d and 
perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be 
correspondingly out of tune. You need to specify the key (C – B) you will be playing in.
02PureMin (Pure minor) C – B The same as Pure Major, but designed for the minor scale.
03Werckmeist (Werckmeister) C – B Andreas Werckmeiser, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that 
keyboard instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. 
04KirnbergerC – B Johann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this tempered scale 
to allow performances in any key.
05Vallot&Yng (Vallotti & Young) C – B Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this adjustment 
to the Pythagorean tuning, in which the first six fifths are lower by the same amount.
061/4 Shift (1/4 shifted) -- This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.

Filter Type  List
LPF24D (24dB/oct Digital Low Pass Filter)
A dynamic 24dB/oct low-pass filter with a 
characteristic digital sound. Compared to the 
LPF24A type (below), this filter can produce a 
more pronounced resonance effect.
LPF24A (24dB/oct Analog Low Pass Filter)
A digital dynamic low-pass filter with 
characteristics similar to a 4-pole analog synth 
filter.
LPF18 (18dB/oct Low Pass Filter)
3-pole 18dB/oct low-pass filter.
LPF18s (18dB/oct Staggered Low Pass Filter)
3-pole 18dB/oct low-pass filter. This filter has a 
smoother cutoff slope than the LPF18 type.
LPF12 (12dB/oct Low Pass Filter)
12dB/oct low-pass filter. This filter is designed to 
be used in conjunction with a high-pass filter.
LPF6 (6dB/oct low-pass Filter)
1-pole 6dB/oct low-pass filter. No resonance. This 
filter is designed to be used in conjunction with a 
high-pass filter.
HPF24D (24dB/oct Digital High Pass Filter)
A dynamic 24dB/oct high-pass filter with a 
characteristic digital sound. This filter can 
produce a pronounced resonance effect.HPF12 (12dB/oct High Pass Filter)
12dB/oct dynamic high-pass filter.
BPF12D (12dB/oct Digital Band Pass Filter)
BPFw (Wide Band Pass Filter)
A 12dB/oct BPF that combines HPF and LPF 
filters to allow wider bandwidth settings.
BPF6 (6dB/oct Band Pass Filter)
BEF12 (12dB/oct Band Elimination Filter)
BEF6 (6dB/oct Band Elimination Filter)
Dual LPF (Dual Low Pass Filter)
Two 12dB/oct low-pass filters connected in 
parallel. Dual HPF (Dual High Pass Filter)
Two 12dB/oct high-pass filters connected in 
parallel.
Dual BPF (Dual Band Pass Filter)
Two 6dB/oct band-pass filters connected in 
parallel.
Dual BEF (Dual Band Elimination Filter)
Two 6dB/oct band-elimination filters connected in 
serial.
LPF12 + BPF6 (12dB/oct Low Pass Filter + 6dB/
oct Band Pass Filter)
A combined low-pass and high-pass filter.
