2-1: Breath Noise Level Key Scalling
Breath noise level key scaling produces natural breath noise level variations across
the range of the keyboard by allowing different level offset values to be applied to each
of six breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
• The
¶
button (“
Fpag
”) can be used to go directly the next breath noise key
scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page.
●
Level
≤
0 … 127.
The “
Level
” parameter is linked to the main breath noise “
Level
” parameter, and
sets the level (volume) of the breath noise sound. The higher the value the higher the
level. This value also determines the main level on which all key-scaled variations are
based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph).
●
Breakpoint 1 … 6 Key
≤
C-2 … G8.
Allows six separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2 and
G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use any
of the normal data entry procedures, or use the keyboard. To use the keyboard for break-
point entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press the
•
button (“
Kbd
”), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint while
“
Kbd
” appears in inverse characters.
No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left.
●
Breakpoint 1 … 6 Offset
≤
-64 … 63.
Set the amount of level offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint
key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the level, and positive values increase the
level at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is chosen, the actual
level will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value. When different offset
values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the level varies smoothly between the break-
points.
■
If two breakpoints are
set to the same note, the
lower one functions as the
end of the key scaling
segment connecting to the
next lowest breakpoint
while the higher one
functions as the end of the
segment connecting to the
next highest breakpoint.
Further, the higher
breakpoint applies to the
specified note while the
lower one actually applies
to the next note to its left.
If more than two break-
points are set to the same
note, only the lowest and
highest of these will
function as ends of the
corresponding key scaling
segments while the rest
are ignored.
