SST Hold Time
[0 ms…60 sec]
This controls the duration of Smooth Sound Transitions. It sets how long reverbs, delays, and note releases continue
to ring out after a new sound has been selected. The timer starts after all notes from the previous sound are no longer
being held down, and the sustain pedal is released.
Transpose
[Transposes Scale, Within Scale]
This parameter determines how the Performance and Program Transpose parameters interact with the Scale and Key.
Within Scale
means that transposition uses intervals within the current scale. This option works well if you are using
non-equal-tempered scales and want to build parallel intervals (such as “fat fifths”) into your sounds. For example, let’s
say that you are using Just Intonation in the key of C. If you transpose one of the Programs up by 7 semitones and play a
C, the result will be two notes: C, and G 2 cents sharp (the Just Intonation fifth).
Transposes Scale
means that the Scale’s Key changes to match the transposition. This option is useful if you play in non-
equal-tempered scales and transpose entire songs—to accommodate singers, for example. In other words, let’s say that
the Key is set to
C
, and the third note of the scale (E) is 50 cents flat. If you transpose up by 2 semitones, and play an E,
the result will be an F# 50 cents flat—still the third note of the scale.
Master Tune
[–50 (427.47Hz)…+50 (452.89Hz)]
This adjusts the overall tuning in one-cent units, over a range of ±50 cents. (A cent is 1/100 of a semitone.) At the
default of 0, A4 = 440 Hz.
The value shown for A4’s frequency assumes that the scale is set to Equal Temperament. If a different scale is
selected, the actual frequency of A4 may be different.
Global MIDI Channel
[1…16]
This is the basic MIDI channel for wavestate native. It applies to:
• MIDI received by any Layer with Use Global MIDI Channel enabled
• MIDI CCs received by and sent from the Program Mod Knobs, for any Layer with Use Global MIDI Channel
enabled
• Program Change (via Set Lists)
• Other global functionality, such as modulation of Master Reverb, Vector Envelope, and System Exclusive
Global Scale
[Off, On]
On:
The settings on this page control the instrument’s scales. Performance scales are ignored.
Off:
The scale settings on this page are ignored.
Note: If both Global Scale and Performance Scale are
Off
, the system simply uses equal temperament.
Active Scale, 1 (Scale 1), (Key), 2 (Scale 2), (Key)
When Global Scale is
On
, these control the scale being used. For details on the scale parameters, see “Active Scale” on
CC Assign
You can control Scale Select and each Mod Knob directly from MIDI CCs. Unlike normal modulation, this works by
directly editing the Scale Select parameter and the Mod Knob values, and any changes will be saved with the sound. To
modulate a parameter with variable intensity, and without causing edits to the sound, use modulation instead. For Mod
Knobs, you can use MIDI Learn to assign the CCs; see “MIDI Learn” on page 14.
