Delay

Delay

Delay varies the time between the arrival of a MIDI Note-On message and the onset of a note. The delay time is adjustable from 0 to 10,000 milliseconds (0-10 seconds). Delay can be used to create echo effects or to thicken the sound when using layered voices.

v To Delay a Voice:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to delay using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Modifiers screen.

3.Select Delay using the cursor keys.

Glide Rate & Curve

Glide Rate & Curve

Glide is a smooth gliding between notes instead of the normal instantaneous change in pitch when a new key is pressed. The glide rate determines the time it takes to glide to the new pitch. The larger the value, the slower the glide rate. The rate is adjustable from 0 to 32.738 seconds. Zero seconds equals Off. A glide curve setting of 0 equals linear. Higher values make the curve more exponential. Glide is polyphonic, but can be monophonic when in Solo mode.

v To Change the Glide Rate of a Voice:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to glide using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Setup screen shown below.

Solo Modes

Solo Modes

Solo mode provides the playing action of a monophonic instrument. It can make wind and string instruments sound more realistic by preventing more than one note from sounding at once. There are eight different solo modes provided which can be used with monophonic synthesizer sounds or to create other performance effects.

Multiple Trigger: Last note priority. No key-up action. Retriggers envelopes and samples when a key is pressed.

Melody (last): Last note priority. No key-up action.

First solo note: Envelopes start at Attack segment from zero. Samples start at the beginning.

If previous note is releasing: Envelopes start at Attack segment, but from current level. Samples start at the beginning.

When playing “Legato”: Envelopes continue from current segment and level. Samples start at the loop or the beginning if unlooped.

Melody (low): Same as Melody (last), but with low-note priority. Newly played keys which are higher than the lowest solo key held will not sound.

Melody (high): Same as Melody (last), but with high-note priority. Newly played keys which are lower than the highest solo key held will not sound.

Synth (last): Similar to Melody (last) with key-up action. When currently sounding solo key is released while still holding other keys, the highest held solo key sounds in a Legato fashion (envelopes not retriggered).

Synth (low): Same as Synth (last), but with low note priority. When the currently sounding solo key is released when other keys are still held, the lowest held solo key will sound in a Legato fashion. (MiniMoog).

•Synth (high): Same as Synth (last), but with high-note priority. When the currently sounding solo key is released when other keys are still held, the highest held solo key will sound in a Legato fashion.

Fingered Glide: Same as Synth (last), except that Glide is disabled when playing Staccato, enabled when playing Legato.

v To Put a Voice into Solo Mode:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to place in solo mode using the voice selection screen, then press Tuning (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Setup screen.

3.Select Solo Mode using the cursor keys.

Latch Mode

_ Using Latch Modes When Latch mode is On, pressing a key once will latch the key on. Pressing together with the Solo Modes the key again will unlatch the key. This mode was originally designed for may cause unpredictable results. doing sound effects work, but you can probably find many other uses for it,

such as latching sampled grooves. Any voices assigned to the same key as a latched voice will also latch.

v To Put a Voice into Latch Mode

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you want to place in solo mode using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to locate the Voice Setup screen.

Assign Group

Assign Group

This function allows you to assign a certain number of output channels to each voice. By assigning all voices in the preset to assign groups, important parts can be protected from being “stolen” by more recently played keys.

Or, a voice such as an open high hat can be assigned to a mono channel so it will be cancelled by a closed high hat. Voices will rotate within their assigned bin of channels not interfering with other bins. Poly All is the default mode.

The modes are as follows.

Poly All: Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment, using all 128 channels.

Poly 16 A-B: Two bins of 16 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 16 channels.

Poly 8 A-D: Four bins of 8 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 8 channels.

Poly 4 A-D: Four bins of 4 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 4 channels.

Poly 2 A-D: Four bins of 2 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 2 channels.

Mono A-I: Nine monophonic channels. Any voices assigned to the same letter interrupt each other, but does not affect other voices.

v To Assign Voices to a Group:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to group using the voice selection screen.

2.Press the Tuning function key (F2).

3.Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to locate the Voice Setup screen.

4.Select Assign Group using the cursor buttons.

5.Select the type of Assign Group using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC buttons.

Amplifier Parameters

Note: The submix outputs incorporate an automatic “plug-sensing” scheme which ignores submix routings if plugs are not inserted into the appropriate submix output jacks.

Amplifier/Filter

Amplifier Parameters

These parameters set the overall volume and pan settings, as well as the output channels for the selected voice(s).

Volume: Sets the initial volume of the voice. Variable from -96 dB (off) to +10 dB. The default setting is 0 dB which allows a bit of headroom so that other modulators can be added in without clipping. Use this volume control to balance the voice output against others. If you hear clipping, reduce volume setting.

Pan: Sets the initial stereo pan position of the voice. Subsequent modulation is added to or subtracted from this value.

Amp Envelope Depth: Sets the maximum amount of attenuation from the amplifier envelope generator. Variable from -96 dB to -48 dB. With longer attack times, reducing the envelope depth (towards -48 dB) has the perceived effect of providing a more natural volume envelope.

Submix: Allows you to route the selected voice(s) to a pair of output channels.

v To Set the Amplifier Parameters:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to process using the voice selection screen, then press the Amp/Filt function key (F3).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to locate the Amplifier screen.

3.Adjust the Amplifier parameters as desired.

4.Press the Exit button to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.

Amplifier Envelope

O The envelope rates can be modulated by any controller in the Cords page.

Attack Rates, Decay Rates, Release Rates or All Rates can be modulated.

O Unlike the filter envelope generator, the amplifier envelope does not let you set negative levels.

Amplifier Envelope

The amplifier envelope generator is permanently connected to control the dynamic amplifier although it can also be patched to control any other modulation destination.

The way the volume of a sound changes over time determines how we perceive that sound. A bell struck with a hammer is instantly at full volume, then slowly dies away. A bowed violin sound fades in more slowly and dies away slowly. Using the amplifier envelope, you can simulate different types of instrument volume envelopes.

v To Set the Amplifier Envelope:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to process using the voice selection screen, then press the Amp/Filt function key (F3).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to locate the Amp Envelope screen.

3.Press the Scale function key. The graphic display of the filter envelope changes from a “fixed-rate” display to a “time-scaled” display.

4.Select and adjust the Amplifier Envelope parameters. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor around to the various parameters and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC buttons to change the time and level of each stage.

5.Press the Exit button to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.
