7 [RESONANCE] (Knob 7)
This knob determines the amount of filter
resonance or emphasis of the cutoff frequency of
the low pass filter. Turn it left to produce a
relatively flat response, or right to add overtones
and make the sound more resonant. (page 55.)
8 [ASSIGN 2] (Knob 8)
This knob can be used to control any one of
many parameters which you can assign to it —
including Volume, Note Shift, Pan, Chorus Send,
and others. (page 49.)
Edit Mark
In Performance mode, an edit mark will
appear in the LCD between the
Performance bank and number to
indicate that the original Performance
has been edited.

Resonance Knobs
These knobs let you control the filter settings
which determine the sound quality of the
timbre.
5 [HPF CUTOFF] (Knob 5)
This knob determines the cutoff frequency of the
high pass filter. The cutoff is the frequency point
below which other frequencies are deleted, or
filtered out. Turn it left to lower the cutoff point
and fatten the sound, or right to raise it and thin
out the sound.
6 [LPF CUTOFF] (Knob 6)
This knob determines the cutoff frequency of the
low pass filter. The cutoff is the frequency point
above which other frequencies are deleted, or
filtered out. Turn it left to lower the cutoff point
and make the sound darker, or right to raise it
and make the sound brighter. (page 55.)

Knobs
These knobs let you control the initial Amplitude
Envelope Generator characteristics of the timbre.
1 [ATTACK] (Knob 1)
This knob controls the initial AEG attack time of
the voice. Turn it left for a faster attack time, or
right for a slower attack. (page 50.)
2 [DECAY] (Knob 2)
This knob controls the AEG decay time of the
voice. Turn it left for a shorter decay time, or
right for a longer decay. (page 50.)
3 [RELEASE] (Knob 3)
This knob controls the AEG release time of the
voice. Turn it left for a shorter release time, or
right for a longer release time. (page 51.)
4 [ASSIGN 1/DATA] (Knob 4)
This knob has two functions. As an ASSIGN 1
knob, you can assign one of many parameters —
including Performance Volume, Arpeggiator
Tempo or Type, Portamento Time, and others —
to control by turning it (page 47). As a DATA
entry knob, you can use it to quickly change the
edit value of the currently selected edit
parameter.

Knob Parameters
The eight SOUND CONTROL knobs give you direct access to a variety of important parameters of the Performance. Turning any
SOUND CONTROL knob to the left or right will offset its parameter values accordingly (based on knob positions: left for negative
values, right for positive values). Each SOUND CONTROL knob has a center detent, or stop position which represents the original
value of the parameter.
