10. AUDIO TRACK PARAMETERS
48
• The filter types on tracks 1–8 are digital, while the filter types on tracks 9–12 are all
analog circuits.
• The parametric EQ is used to boost desired frequencies or to remove unwanted fre-
quencies of the sound.
• The five dierent settings of the EQ lets you select the bandwidth of the frequency
range that the EQ aects. This value is often referred to as Q. The higher the Q value,
the narrower the bandwidth. A broad bandwidth boosts or cuts a larger band of fre-
quencies than a narrow.
10.4.8 ENV
Env. Depth sets the amount of cuto frequency modulation from the filter envelope. The parameter is
bipolar, both negative and positive modulation depths are available.

10.5 FLTR PAGE 2
On FILTER page 2, you will find the parameters that control the envelope delay parameter and the base-
width filter (for DIGITAL voices). Press [FLTR] twice to access this parameter page.
10.5.1 DEL
Envelope delay sets the time before the attack phase of the filter envelope starts. This parameter is part
of the filter envelope that controls the multimode filter. You can also press and hold [FUNC] and then
turn DATA ENTRY knob A to quickly access this parameter from FILTER PAGE 1.
10.5.2 BASE
Sets the base frequency of the filter. This parameter is only available if you have selected a track with a
Digital voice type (Track 1–8).
10.5.3 WIDTH
Sets the frequency width above the base frequency. This parameter is only available if you have selected
a track with a Digital voice type (Track 1–8).
The base-width filter is basically a Highpass filter and a Lowpass filter connected in series. The filters BASE
and WIDTH parameters define the base-width filters frequency range.
Examples of how the BASE and WIDTH parameters aect the filter frequency range:
