I really wanted to see CASIO add the 4 basic parameters of tone editing, attack time, release time, cutoff and resonance in the first four rhythm category buttons as a shortcut to those parameters and use the dial to change those 4 parameters in real time, without having to enter the sound editing menu to use those parameters. It would be like that, in the settings there would be a way to change the function of the buttons of the rhythmic category. For example, when pressing the first button in the rhythm category, the word "Atk.Time" was already displayed on the screen for a few seconds, then just use the dial to change the Attack Time in real time on the tone. Pops = Attack Time Rock = Cutoff Jazz / Trad = Release World / Country = Resonance

A: Only one, the one in the solo synth. That's the standard answer according to the specs, but read on. Set up a Performance with a bright tone in zone 1, e.g., Saw Lead 3. While still editing the Performance, set knob 1 to cutoff (CC74), knob 2 to attack (CC73), knob 3 to release (CC72), and knob 4 to resonance (CC71). Then set the arpeggiator to the Up arepeggio, or use the one-step arpeggio that I recommend (http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/7617-whats-the-point-of-a-one-step-arpeggio/). Next, press a key and adjust attack and release until it's sounding a fairly constant tone. I usually set attack to maximum and increase release until the stutter reduces to a minimum. Now comes the interesting part. Sweep cutoff. You can hear the filter opening and closing as expected. Now sweep resonance. This also sounds like a filter sweep on my G1, but resonance is not supposed to be implemented on a PCM tone. Set resonance to minimum and sweep cutoff, set resonance to maximum and sweep cutoff. It's fairly subtle, but it could be a resonant filter sweep. Is it just the low byte of the internal cutoff paramater; or simulated, pseudo-resonance; or the real thing?
