Take a look at the PITCH page, as an exampleÑweÕll look at how these six control parameters
are used in the pitch control function. If youÕre not already on the PITCH page, you can get
there by pressing the soft button labeled ÒPITCH.Ó If you donÕt see ÒPITCHÓ on the bottom line
of the display, press one of the Ò<more>Ò buttons until it appears.

YouÕll recognize the common DSP control parameters, along with several other parameters.
Keep in mind that thereÕs a set of common control parameters for each of the DSP functions; in
this case weÕre describing them only as they apply to the pitch control function.
Coarse Adjust
The Adjust parameter (sometimes coarse and Þne adjust) is the Þxed amount of adjustment you
add to any DSP function. On the PITCH page, the Coarse Adjust parameter will change the
pitch in semitone increments. Use this as a starting point to set the pitch where you want it to
be normally. This will shift the pitch of the currently selected layer, and will affect the playback
rate of sampled sounds. Sampled sounds have an upper limit on pitch adjustment. ItÕs normal
for the pitches of sampled sounds to ÒpinÓ (stop getting higher) when you adjust the pitch
upward in large amounts. The oscillator waveforms can be pitched higher. Any sound can be
pitched downward without limit.
The primary use of the Adjust parameters (Coarse
and
Fine) is to offset the cumulative effects of
the other parameters on the control input pages. For example, you might set a high value for
key tracking (deÞned below) for a dramatic change in effect across the keyboard. The effect
might be too much at one end of the keyboard, however, so you could use one of the Adjust
parameters to reduce the initial amount of that effect.
The K2vx always uses real values of measurement, rather than just arbitrary numbers, for
adjustable parameters. This means that you specify pitch in semi-tones and cents, amplitude in
dB, and Þlter cutoff frequency in hertz.
Remember that the parameters on the control input pages are cumulativeÑthey can add to or
subtract from the effects of the other parameters on the page, depending on their values. For
example, even if youÕve adjusted the pitch of a sample so high that it pins, the effects of the
other parameters may bring the pitch back down to a workable range.
