    Pan = Letf & right
    Cutoff see below
    Resonance both fliter cutoff and Resonance will make then notes you play brighter or darker .
    One could say much like a tv screen on adjustment.

    Attack = how the attack of notes are being played like fade in
    Release = like sustain this will let the note continue to hold or fade like .
    Swing = timing or variation on how the notes are played.
    Gate Time think like opening and shuting a gate on notes .
    Velocity thats kind a bit lame but never the less velocity is how hard or soft the notes are played .

    Unit Multiply..not sure on this 1 !!

    Hope this helps.
