Voice Edit

For example, you could set one Element to sound in

an upper range of the keyboard, and another

Element to sound in a lower range. Thus, even

within the same Voice, you can have two different

sounds for different areas of the keyboard or you

can make the two Element ranges overlap so that

their sounds are layered over a set range.

Furthermore, you can set each Element to respond

to different velocity ranges so that one Element

sounds for lower note velocities, whereas another

Element sounds for higher note velocities.

n In the Multi mode, similar settings can be assigned

for each Part.

● PITCH

In PAGES 7 to 12, you can set the basic pitch

parameters for each Element. You can detune

Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also by

setting the PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator), you

can control how the pitch changes over time.

PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)

You can set four Rate parameters (which control how

fast the pitch changes from one Level to the next) and

ﬁve Level (pitch) parameters, which control the

change in pitch from the moment you press a note on

the keyboard to the moment at which the sound

stops. The Initial Level and Attack Rate settings

determines from what pitch the note starts when it is

played and the time it takes to reach the Attack Level

pitch setting. The Decay 1 and 2 Rates control how

long it takes for the pitch to reach the Decay 1 and 2

Levels, respectively. Finally, the Release Rate and

Release Level parameters determine the ﬁnal pitch

that the sound goes to when a key is released and

how long it takes to reach that pitch. In the

illustration, the letters a - d indicate the respective

Rate (R) settings for Attack - Release. The greater

the value for each Rate, the faster the pitch goes to

the next set Level — in other words, the time it takes

for the pitch to change (between Level settings)

becomes shorter. Velocity Sensitivity and other

parameters can also be set if required.

● FILTER

In PAGES 13 to 22, you can use the ﬁlter to change

the tonal characteristics of each Element, by

adjusting overtones (harmonic tones) included in

the waveform from the Element. The S08 employs

an LPF (low pass ﬁlter). Only frequencies below

this point are passed. In addition, you can set the

amount of Resonance (harmonic boost) applied to

the signal around the cutoff frequency. This is a

useful way of adding further character to the sound.

Resonance

n Filter is also provided in each Multi Part.

You can also set the Filter Envelope Generator (FEG)

for time variance of how the ﬁlter works, which

results in a dynamic change in tonal characteristics.

Here, we’ll show you how the FEG works.

FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)

There are ﬁve Rate settings (controlling the speed of

changes to the sound) and ﬁve Level settings

(controlling the amount of ﬁltering applied). As soon

as a note is played, the ﬁlter is ﬁxed at the Initial Level

setting, and maintains that level for the length of time

set in Hold Rate. The degree to which the ﬁlter

changes after that is determined by the Attack Level

and Decay 1 and 2 Levels; the time it takes between

those changes is determined by the Attack Rate and

Decay 1 and 2 Rates. When the note is released, the

change in tone is determined by the Release Rate/Level

settings. In the illustration, the letters a - d indicate the

respective Rate (R) settings for Attack - Release. The

greater the value for each Rate, the faster the ﬁlter goes

to the next set Level — in other words, the time it

takes for the ﬁlter to change (between Level settings)

becomes shorter. Velocity Sensitivity and other

parameters can also be set if required.
