•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 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.

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.
nThe availability of the Amplitude Key Follow 
parameter depends on the Break Point and Offset 
settings described on see below....

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.

•FMOD (Filter Modulation Depth)
Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO 
waveform varies (modulates) the Filter Cutoff frequency. 
The higher the value, the greater the amount of filter 
modulation.

•AMOD (Amplitude Modulation Depth)
Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO
