Accessing & Editing the Filter & EG Param-
eters
The FILTER & EG EDIT mode can be accessed from the PLAY mode as
follows:
1. Press [EDIT]
Press the [EDIT] button to go to the EDIT sub-mode menu.
2. Select the FIL&EG Sub-mode
Use the SELECT [] buttons to select the FIL&EG sub-mode, if
necessary. The icon to the left of “FIL&EG” on the display will flash when
the FIL&EG sub-mode is selected.
3. Press [ENTER]
Press the [ENTER] button to go to the FILTER & EG EDIT mode....

5. Edit the Selected Parameter
Use the VALUE [-] and [+] buttons to set the value of the selected parameter
as required.
6. Repeat As  Necessary
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to edit as many parameters as required.
7. Exit When Done
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the EDIT sub-mode menu, or the
[PLAY] button to return to the PLAY mode when you’re finished editing.

The Filter & EG Edit Parameters
Please note that a number of FIL&EG EDIT parameters which are available
in the VOICE sound module mode are not available in the VL-XG sound
module mode (page 28). The parameter numbers are therefore different in each
mode.

 Filter & EG Edit Parameter Descriptions
The small parameter numbers in parentheses apply in the VL-XG sound module mode.
Filter03(03): FilEG Dept
•Filter EG Depth
•Settings: -64 … +63
The “FilEG Dept” parameter determines to what
degree the amplitude /filter envelope generator (see
“08(06): Attack Time”, “09(07): Decay Time”, and
“10(08): ReleaseTime”, below) affects the filter’s
cutoff frequency. Higher values allow the envelope
generator to vary the filter cutoff frequency over a
wider range.
04:...

the breakpoint note specified by the “CutoffScBP”
parameter, above. A setting of “+00” produces no
key scaling. Positive values apply scaling to notes
below the breakpoint (i.e. on a keyboard, notes to
the left of the breakpoint), producing a gradual
lowering of the cutoff frequency down the scale.
Negative values apply scaling to notes above the
breakpoint (i.e. on a keyboard, notes to the right of
the breakpoint), producing a gradual lowering of
the cutoff frequency up the scale. Higher positive
or...

73
10(08): ReleaseTime
•Amplitude & Filter Envelope Release Time
•Settings: -64 … +63
Sets the release time of the amplitude & filter
envelope generator. “Release time” refers to the
length of time it takes for the envelope to fall to
“zero” level after the note has been released.
Positive values produce a slower release while
negative values produce a faster release.
11: AmpLvlScBP (VOICE mode only)
•Amplitude Level Scaling Breakpoint
•Settings: C-2 … G8
Amplitude level “scaling” ( or “key scaling”)...

74
14(10): PEGAtakTime
•Pitch & Embouchure Envelope Attack Time
•Settings: -64 … +63
Sets the attack time of the pitch & embouchure
envelope generator. In this case “attack time”
refers to the length of time it takes for the pitch
envelope to reach normal pitch (“+00” level) from
the instant a note is played. Positive values pro-
duce a slower attack while negative values produce
a faster attack.
15(11): PEGReleLvl
•Pitch & Embouchure Envelope Release Level
•Settings -64 … +63
Sets the final pitch to be...

The OTHERS EDIT mode provides access to a range of editable voice param-
eters that do fall into the CONTROLLER or FILTER & EG categories.
