2. Select the desired parameter for adjustment with the cursor buttons, then use the data
slider to change the parameter value. These are the available parameters:
■
Atk: Determines the extent to which keyboard velocity controls VCA attack time.
When set to 00, no matter how hard or soft you play the attack time will remain as set
in
DYNAMIC PROCESSING 12 , VCA Attack. Increasing the value causes the attack time
to increase as you play more softly. A setting of 15 gives the greatest variation in attack
times between hard and soft playing.
■
FAtk (Filter Attack): Determines the extent to which keyboard velocity controls filter
attack time. When set to 00, no matter how hard or soft you play, the filter attack time
will remain as set in
DYNAMIC PROCESSING 14, Filter Attack. Increasing the value
causes the filter attack time to increase as you play more softly. A setting of 15 gives the
greatest variation in attack times between hard and soft playing.
■
Pan: Determines the extent to which keyboard velocity controls stereo placement.
When set to 00, no matter how hard or soft you play, the panning will remain as set in
DYNAMIC PROCESSING 19 , Panning. Increasing the value causes the signal to pan in
the opposite direction of the current spatial placement; the higher the value, the greater
the difference in stereo spread between soft and forceful keyboard playing. Example:
With the voice panned slightly to the left and a high pan velocity value, playing softly
leaves the voice slightly to the left, which playing forcefully pans the voice towards the
right extreme. In-between dynamics produce placement in-between the two extremes.
3. After making your selections, press ENTER to return to the module identifier.
DYNAMIC PROCESSING 19 PANNING
This function controls the static stereo placement of a voice or voices. The stereo
placement may additionally be modulated via the LFO (DYNAMIC PROCESSING
16), keyboard dynamics (DYNAMIC PROCESSING 18) or realtime controls (PRE-
SET DEFINITION 9).
1. Activate DYNAMIC PROCESSING 19 . The display will say:
Panning: +00
L >< R
...and a marker will appear somewhere in the lower line of the display to indicate current
position in the stereo field. The number in the upper display correlates to stereo position,
where -07 is all the way left and +07 is all the way to the right. +00 indicates center.
