Wheel to Vibrato slider: Determines the amount of pitch modulation by your keyboard’s
modulation wheel.
Wheel to Cutoff slider: Determines the depth of Cutoff modulation by your keyboard’s
modulation wheel.
Cutoff slider: Allows more (high) or less (low) of the sound through, making it brighter
or damping it.
Cutoff Type pop-up menu: Enables you to choose from a number of preset filter curves.
Try them out, and experiment with the Cutoff and Resonance parameters.
Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cutoff parameter.
Cutoff Attack slider: Determines the time it takes before the Cutoff parameter begins
to affect the sound.
Attack slider: Makes the sound start more slowly or quickly. A fast setting makes it sound
like striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin
string.
Decay slider: Makes the harmonic portion of the sound (bright) sustain for a longer
time at slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack and/or the Decay
phase has completed.
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the
keys on your keyboard.
