Root Note
Determines the root note reference (0–127, or C–2 to G8) for the pattern. The Root Note setting only
applies when the Arpeggiator Mode is set to
Phrase
. The root note sets the relationship of the output MIDI
data (from the selected Phrase Pattern) to the input note data. For example, if the Pattern MIDI note is C3, and
the root note is a D3, playing G4 on the keyboard results the pattern playing back transposed down a whole
step (F4).
Global Editor
The Global Editor lets you edit the Global parameters for the Venom synthesizer.
To view the Global Editor:
Click the
Global
button so that its LED is lit.
Global Controls
Octave
Selections from this drop down menu transpose the keyboard up or down an octave at a time, up to 3
octaves in either direction.
Transpose
Selections from this drop down menu transpose the keyboard up or down a semitone at a time, up
to 12 semitones in either direction.
Master Tune
Selections from this drop down menu adjust the tuning of the synthesizer in cents (–50 to +50).
Master Tempo
Adjusts the master tempo reference in BPM (50–300, Ext). When the Receive MIDI Clock param-
eter is enabled, the external tempo reference is used and its value is displayed in the LCD.
Global MIDI Channel
Sets the main MIDI channel (1–16) on which Venom transmits and receives MIDI in Single
Mode. When in Multi Mode, the Multi Program’s MIDI parameters allow the Global MIDI Channel to be ref-
erenced.
Local Mode
Determines whether or not the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, and Sustain and Ex-
pression Pedals control the internal synthesizer. When Local Mode is set to
Off
, Venom still sends MIDI data
out the rear panel MIDI Out port and over USB, and the synthesizer can be controlled using MIDI data coming
in the rear panel MIDI In port and over USB. You may want to disable Local Mode when using Venom with
your computer and MIDI sequencing software, but be sure to enable Local Mode to use Venom as a standalone
synthesizer.
Velocity Curve
Adjusts velocity response of the keyboard. The following options are available:
•
Low
—Makes it easier to play quietly.
•
Normal
—Provides the widest and most even velocity response.
•
High
—Makes it easier to play loudly.
•
Fixed
—Sets the velocity output at one level no matter how hard or soft you play.
Fixed Velocity
Sets the note velocity value (0–127) if
Fixed
is selected as the
Velocity Curve
option.
