Deviation
SaxLab 2’s Deviation section is located in the lower middle of the instrument’s
Front Panel. An important part of the sound of a real acoustic instrument is
that no two notes are exactly the same. No matter how hard the player may
try, each note is slightly different. Our ears are very sensitive to these
differences and can usually detect when two notes are identical. For this
reason, SaxLab incorporates Body, Air and Pitch Deviation controls which
introduce small random variations to the Body filter, the “air” layer of the
sound, and to the overall pitch of a note each time it is triggered.
Body (Deviation Amount): The Body (Deviation Amount) control is used to set
a degree of randomisation in the instrument’s Body filter for each note that is
played back. Increasing the Body (Deviation Amount) control will introduce
more random timbre variation from note to note in the sound of the
instrument.
Air (Deviation Amount): The Air (Deviation Amount) control is used to set a
degree of randomisation in the instrument’s “air” layer for each note that is
played back. Increasing the Air (Deviation Amount) control will introduce more
random timbre variation from note to note in the sound of the instrument.
