VOICE EDIT MODE
Rate Scaling: On most acoustic instruments, high
notes have a naturally shorter attack and decay.
This can be simulated by setting rate scaling to
a positive value (+1...+7). The following dia-
gram shows how higher notes will have faster
rates (shorter EGs). Negative settings will
have the opposite effect.
AWM ELEMENT DATA
4. AWM output
JUMP #259
Summary: The output level of an AWM element can
be adjusted across the keyboard.
Procedure:
From: AWM Element job directory (JUMP #256)
Select: job 04:Output. (JUMP #259)
Specify: the output level scaling
Breakpoint 1-4 (BP1-4): Note (C-2...G8) and
Offset (-127...+127) of each break point deter-
mine how the level specified in Voice common
data, 1. Element level (JUMP #202) (page 96)
will be adjusted across the keyboard. When the
cursor is located at note, you can press F7 (Kbd)
and press a key to enter it as the new note set-
ting.
The keyboard level scaling is graphically dis-
played.
Break Point: The AWM output level can be ad-
justed according to the note that is played. On
most acoustic instruments, notes differ in vol -
ume and tone depending on the range in which
they are played. For example, the low notes of a
piano are louder than the high notes.
Use the four break points to specify how the
AWM output level will. be adjusted across the
keyboard. Offset (-127...+127) determines the
output level adjustment for each of the four
points specified by the note (C-2...G8).
The four note settings must be in ascending
order. It is not possible to set a break point to a
note lower or higher than the note settings of the
neighboring break points.
The following diagram shows how the AWM
output level would be adjusted across the key-
board for the settings shown in the above LCD.
Each offset is added to the element level (80 in
this example). For example the offset at break
point 1 (El) is -4, so the resulting element level
at El is 76. The resulting element level is
limited to the range of 0... 127.
