Once
a
"Quick-Set"
tab
voice
selection
is
made,
further
refinement
and
adjustment
of
that
voice
may
be
made
by
using
the
three
slide
controls
labeled
FILTER.
CONTOUR
This
controls
the
speed
of
the
timbre
change
associated
with
the
onset
of
the
voice,
and/or
the
timbre
change
associated
with
the
release
of
that
voice.
The
wide
range
of
this
control
can
provide
both
slow
settings
(useful
for
simulation
of
bass
violin
or
tuba
effects)
and
fast
timbre
change
settings
(which
can
provide
wild
chirping
effects).
COLOR
This
acts
as
a
brightness
control,
but
it
has
such
a
wide
range
that
it
can
have
major
effect
on
the
basic
sound
itself.
Your
choice
may
lie
anyvyhere
between
adding
in
all
of
the
high
harmonics
you
wish,
or
eliminating
them.
EMPHASIS
This
control
adds
a
resonance
frequency
area
to
the
spectrum
of
the
tone.
At
"0",
spectrum
of
the
"Quick-Set"
sound
is
unchanged.
As
the
control
is
pushed
forward,
the
intensity
of
the
sound
within
a
pre-selected
resonance
area
is
increased.
At
maxi¬
mum,
there
is
a
well
defined
narrow
sharp
peak
in
the
spectrum
of
the
tone.
