Pitch
The second panel specifies pitch bend ranges, vibrato depth and pitch offset (transposition):
PB up / down
Most MIDI keyboards include a performance control called a ‘pitch bender’ (often a centre-
sprung wheel) which is used for bending the overall pitch up and down. Bazille’s
PB up
and
down
selectors
specify the up and down ranges independently, from 0 to 24 semitones then 36
(3 octaves) or 48 (4 octaves).
In the MIDI & MORE panel as well as in the modulation source menus for LFOs, envelopes and
mapping generators, this control is called
PitchW
(the W stands for ‘wheel’).
Vibrato (LFO 1)
Adjusts the amount that LFO pitch modulates all 4 oscillators. For typical performed vibrato, set
the LFO1 amp modulation source to
ModWhl
, and turn its depth up to maximum.
Transpose / Fine
The
Transpose
selector shifts the overall pitch in semitone steps with a range of +/- 24, and the
Fine
knob adjusts it in cents within a range of +/- 1 semitone. Note that neither
Transpose
nor
Fine
work in realtime (i.e. during a note), but only when a new note/voice is played.
Glide
The next panel controls ‘portamento’ – the slurring of pitch / cutoff between consecutive notes:
Amount
Amount
sets the basic speed of the Glide for all oscillators and filters (in fact anything that uses
key follow).
