CONTROLLER (Plug-in Voice only) This determines the depth of pitch, cutoff, pitch modulation, cutoff modulation, and amplitude modulation. 8 ELEMENT unit This section is explained in more detail in "Element Unit" (page 20). 9 INSERTION EFFECT units This section is explained in more detail in "Insertion Effect" (page 25). 7 LFO AMPLITUDE knob Use this to set the amplitude modulation depth of the LFO. You can also enter a value directly in the text box to the left of the knob. 8 [DETAIL] button Click this to open the "EL DETAIL" dialog and enter the parameters for each Element. You have wider and more accurate control over the parameters than with the editor graphs. Editor graphs Within these graphs, click and drag the "handles" (square marks) to visually adjust the parameters for each Element. n Sometimes, not all the handles are visible as they may be layered on top of each other at the same position. If this is the case, click the visible handle and drag it away temporarily to reveal the next handle. OSCILLATOR Settings Click on the "WAVE" text box and choose the source waveform. One of the square marks is used to set "VEL LIMIT LOW" and "NOTE LIMIT LOW. " Set the lowest note velocity response by dragging this the handle horizontally. Set the lowest note in the key range by dragging it vertically. Similarly, set the highest note velocity ("VEL LIMIT HIGH") and key range note ("NOTE LIMIT HIGH") using the other handle. n When dragging the handles, values are given as (X, Y) co-ordinates, where X is the NOTE LIMIT (given as a MIDI note number) and Y is the VEL LIMIT. To view the note name instead of the note number, select the "OSCILLATOR" tab of the "EL DETAIL" dialog. 21 FILTER Settings Click on the text box and choose the filter type. The graph shows pre-defined settings initially, but you can edit these. Using the LPF type as an example, drag the left handle vertically to set the Filter Gain.
