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.

4.Set the Delay Time using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

5.Press the Exit key 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.

Start Offset

This function allows you to set where the voice's sample begins playing when you hit a key. A setting of 0 plays a sample from the beginning, higher values move the sample start point toward the end of the sound.

v To Offset the Samples in a Voice:

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 Tuning function key (F2).

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

3.Select Start Offset using the cursor keys.

4.Adjust the Start Offset using the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys.

5.Press the Exit key 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.

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.

3.Select Glide Rate using the cursor keys.

4.Adjust the Rate of Glide using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

5.Select Glide Curve using the cursor keys.

6.Select the Curve number using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

7.Press the Exit key 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.

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.
