0: Bend
Bends the current note to whichever note or by whichever
semitone size is selected in the “Amount” parameter. The
timing and length of the bend is determined by the
“Length,” “Start %” and “End %” parameters. (
Useful for portamento simulation and ethnic bending
effects, among others.
1: Hammer
Bends the current note to whichever note or by whichever
semitone size is selected in the “Amount” parameter, then
back to the current pitch. The timing and length of the bend
is determined by the “Length,” “Start %” and “End %”
parameters, and the “Width %” parameter. Useful for guitar
hammer-on effects, among others.
2: Hammer Bend
Bends the current note to whichever note or by whichever
semitone size is selected in the “Amount” parameter
(
p.569), then back to the current pitch, then again to the
note or pitch selected in the “Amount” parameter. The
timing and length of the bend is determined by the
“Length,” “Start %” and “End %” parameters, and the
“Width %” parameter. Useful for ethnic bending effects,
among others.
Alternation
[0, 1]
When set to 1: Alternating, causes alternate bends to flip
back and forth between the + and –. For example, if the
“Amount” parameter is set to +12, then the bends produced
with a series of notes will be {+12, –12, +12, –12…} etc. When
Next/Previous Note
Bending is selected, it will alternate
between Next and Previous. For example, if 13: Next Note is
selected in the size Menu, then the bends will be {Next, Prev,
Next, Prev…}
etc.
Step Mode
[0…12]
Sets whether the bends will be smooth (continuous) or
divided into steps (glissando bends).
0: Smooth
Bends will be continuous, with a value sent out every “n”
milliseconds as specified by the Rate parameter.
1…12: 1 ST…12 ST (semitones)
Bends will be quantized to the semitone step size selected,
producing “glissando” bends. For example, if the “Amount”
parameter is set to 12 and Step Mode is set to 2: 2 ST, then
the resulting bend will be quantized to 6 steps of 2
semitone
s each (a Whole tone scale.)
When one of the Semitone settings is selected, the Rate
parameter is not available.
Length
[0…25]
Specifies an overall length for a “bend window” within
which the bend will take place, based on the “Start %” and
“End %” parameters. See the Appendices: “Using Auto
Bend”. (
0…23: Note values
Sets the overall length of each bend window to the selected
rhythm value; each bend will therefore be the same length.
Note that this is tempo dependent, so changing tempo
changes the length of the bend and keeps the effect locked to
tempo. If the length of the bend is longer than the actual
duration of the note with which it is generated, part or all of
the bend will not be heard.
24: Fixed-ms
Makes available the “Fixed-ms” parameter. A length of
absolute time may then be specified in milliseconds for each
bend window. Note that this is independent of any tempo
settings. You might use this to keep the same length and
speed of a bend regardless of the tempo.
25: Note Duration
The duration of the note as it is generated is used as the
bend window, with the “Start %” and “End %” parameters
specifying where in the note’s duration the bend will start
and end. Each bend may therefore be a different length,
depending on the durations of the notes. A 16th note
duration will have a bend that is half the length and twice as
fast as an 8th note duration. If the duration is varied in real-
time, the length of the bends will also be varied.
Not available when “GE Type” (
p.529) is 3: Real-
Time, since
the duration of the note is determined by
actually playing the keyboard. If selected, this setting
will act the same as 7: 16th note.
Fixed-ms
[10…5000 (ms)]
A fixed length of absolute time may be specified in
milliseconds for each bend window. Note that this is
independent of any tempo settings. You might use this to
keep the same length and speed of a bend regardless of the
tempo. Has no effect unless the 24: Fixed-ms setting is
selected for the “Length” parameter
Start %
[0…100 (%)]
Specifies the start point of the bend in the overall bend
window (set by the “Length” parameter). The value is a
percentage of the overall bend window. For example, if 0%,
the bend will start as soon as the note begins to play; other
values will cause a certain “delay” before the start of the
bend.
End %
[0…100 (%)]
Specifies the end point of the bend in the overall bend
window (set by the “Length” parameter). The value is a
percentage of the overall bend window. For example, if
100%
, the bend will extend all the way to the end of the
bend window; other values will cause the bend to reach the
destination pitch and “hang there” for a period of time.
