Parameter Descriptions
• Keyboard Rate Scaling
Range: 0 ... 7
This determines how the
times of the
respond to keyboard position. In other
words, this lets you automatically speed up or slow down the overall EG time (
of individual operators depending on which range of the keyboard you play. This param-
eter controls the degree of scaling; a value of “0” produces no scaling, and higher values
produce a more pronounced scaling effect. For values other than “0,” the higher the note
played, the shorter its overall EG time.
Keyboard Rate Scaling is useful for simulating the natural scaling found on many acous-
tic instruments — for example, as on an acoustic piano, on which higher notes decay
more quickly than lower notes.
Operator Parameters
These parameters let you set the Output Level and Velocity Sensitivity for each
operator.
• Operator Output Level
Range: 0 ... 99
This determines the level of each operator. The setting made here affects the workings
of many other parameters. For example,
, and
may have little or no audible effect if Output Level is set too low. On the other hand,
settings may have little or no effect if Output Level is set too high.
When applied to a carrier operator, this affects the volume of the voice; when applied to a
modulator, it affects the timbre.
About Operator On/Off Controls
Each operator can be independently turned on and off during editing — an important
tool in hearing the effects of your edits. For example, you may want to temporarily
mute one carrier operator to better hear the edits you are making on another carrier.
Or you may want to turn an operator alternately on and off to hear how its presence
and absence affects the overall sound.
