Absorption Control Depth (AbsCtrlDpt)
Settings: -64 — +63
Sets the amount of variation produced by
the controller assigned to absorption. The
higher the value, the greater the variation.
Positive values cause a decrease in ab-
sorption in response to higher controller
values (e.g., increased breath pressure or
higher modulation wheel position), while
negative values cause an increase in ab-
sorption in response to higher controller
values.
Controllers
Here’s a list of some of the physical con-
trollers you might want to use with the
VL tone generator section:
Breath Controller
(MIDI control change no. 02)
A natural candidate for controlling pres-
sure, tonguing, throat formant, growl, and
other parameters.
Pitch Bend Wheel
The pitch bend wheel on your keyboard
or other MIDI device can be assigned to
a range of parameters, but it’s “standard”
function is pitch control. A controller pa-
rameter such as Embouchure can also be
assigned to the pitch bend wheel for more
realistic pitch variations.
Modulation Wheel
(MIDI control change no. 01)
Since the modulation wheel on your key-
board or other MIDI device can be as-
signed to any controller parameter, it can
be an important tool for musical expres-
sion. Use it in conjunction with a breath
controller or a foot controller for broad
expressive variation.
Foot Controller
(MIDI control change no. 04)
Like the modulation wheel, a foot con-
troller connected to your keyboard or
other MIDI device can be assigned to any
VL controller parameter.
Aftertouch
Keyboard aftertouch allows you to con-
trol any controller parameter by the pres-
sure you apply to a key after it is initially
pressed. This is perhaps the most “inti-
mate” type of keyboard expression con-
trol.
