requested modulation parameter handling/description
changing the gate-time of a motivator-track Gate-Mod choose a modulation source which should
influence the gate-time of a motivator-pattern.
manipulation of velocity of a
motivator-pattern Dyn-Mod Here you can also select a modulation-source, in
this case for controlling the velocity. So you can
even modulate the filters when using a
synthesizer-sound whose cutoff-frequency is
controlled by the velocity. In the middle-position
of the regulator the velocity is not influenced,
positions below the middle lower the
dynamic-values of the notes, positions above the
middle increase the dynamic.This parameter has
no influence in the gater-mode of the motivator.
MIDI-message Function
hold (#64) The hold-controller also is depicted as sustain: When a key of the
keyboard is hit and the hold-pedal is pressed down at the same time, the
played sound is endured.
portamento-switch (#65) This controller is used to switch on and off the portamento-function of the
synthesizer.
sustenuto (#66) The sustenuto-pedal endures only the actually played notes, all keys that
are played later end normally.
soft (#67) The soft-pedal lowers a bit the value of the velocity.
controllers no. #68 - #79,
specified: Hold 2 (# 69) These controllers have no defined function. Since the first
MIDI-specification the controller #69 is defined as Hold 2. We are sorry,
but we couldn´t find out the difference to controller #64 (Hold).
general purpose 5-8 (#80 - #83) These controllers are reserved for changes of parameters of
sound-generators and have no prescribed functions.
The modulation-sources of the CYBER-6 also make possible a direct control of motivator and sequencer-
parameters, so that also sequences and accompaniment-patterns of the CYBER-6 become alive. Influenc-
ing the cutoff-parameters on a running sequencer-track are likewise possible as the changing of the length
of notes (gate-time) of an arpeggiator-pattern.
If you still have no idea about motivators and sequencers at the moment, you can leave out this sub-chapter
for the present and come back to it later. Some real-time-modulation-possibilities are already implemented
in the sequences which are found in the storage of the CYBER-6 at extradition. They only have to be
activated in the masterkeyboard-programs.
To edit the real-time-controllers of the motivator you choose the submenu 14 and 15 in the edit-area of the
masterkeyboard. Both submenus are equal: the display-page 14 treats the modulation of motivator 1 and
the display-page 15 the modulation of motivator 2:
