2: Breath Noise
• The
•
button (“
Ctrl
”) can be used to go directly to the breath noise
controller page (
≥
Page 73), also available from the ELEMENT CON-
TROLLER directory. You can then return to the miscellaneous breath noise
page by pressing
•
(“
Para
”) again.
• An inverse “K”(
˚
) next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to
that parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press
the
¶
button (“
KSC
”) to go directly to the key scaling page for that param-
eter. You can return to the breath noise parameter page by pressing the
]
button.
●
Level
≤
0 … 127.
Sets the level (volume) of the breath noise sound. The higher the value the higher
the level.
• If this parameter is set to “0”, no breath noise can be applied via a controller.
●
Slit Drive
≤
0 … 32.
Breath noise is produced at the “slit” portion of the VL1’s physical model (in a reed
instrument, the space between the reed and the mouthpiece). This parameter determines
the intensity of the breath noise. The smaller the value the more intense and rough the
breath noise.
• If this parameter is set to “63”, no breath noise can be applied via a controller.
●
Ctrl Balance
≤
-64 … 63.
Sets the balance between two factors that determine the overall level of the breath
noise: “Ctrl” is the amount of control applied via the controller assigned to breath noise,
and “Slit” is the amount of breath noise produced by the slit. The graphic slider to the
right of the parameter provides a visual indication of the current balance.
