Setting example of Filter Scaling

The best way to understand Filter Scaling is by example. For the 
settings shown in the example display below, the basic Cutoff 
frequency value is 64, and the various Offset values at the 
selected Break point settings change that basic value accordingly. 
The specific changes to the Cutoff frequency are shown in the 
diagram below. The Cutoff frequency changes in a linear fashion 
between successive Break Points as shown. 

Setting example of Amplitude Scaling

The best way to understand Amplitude Scaling is by example. 
For the settings shown in the example display above, the basic 
Amplitude (volume) value for the selected Element is 80, and the 
various Offset values at the selected Break point settings change 
that basic value accordingly. The specific changes to the 
Amplitude are shown in the diagram below. The Amplitude 
changes in a linear fashion between successive Break Points as 
shown.

Equal Temp

 (Equal temperament)

--

The “compromise” tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and 
found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and 
music can be played in any key with identical pitch relationships. However, none of 
the intervals are perfectly in tune.

01

PureMaj

 (Pure major)

C – B

This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major thir d and 
perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be 
correspondingly out of tune. You need to specify the key (C – B) you will be playing in.

02

PureMin

 (Pure minor)

C – B

The same as Pure Major, but designed for the minor scale.

03

Werckmeist

 (Werckmeister)

C – B

Andreas Werckmeiser, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that 
keyboard instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. 

04

Kirnberger

C – B

Johann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this tempered scale 
to allow performances in any key.

05

Vallot&Yng

 (Vallotti & Young)

C – B

Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this adjustment 
to the Pythagorean tuning, in which the first six fifths are lower by the same amount.

06

1/4 Shift

 (1/4 shifted)

--

This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.

07

1/4 tone

 

--

Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave. (Octaves are 24 notes apart.)

08

1/8 tone

--

Forty-eight equally spaced notes per octave. (Octaves are 48 notes apart.)

09

Indian

Designed for use Indian music (white keys only).
