3-3: Vibrato Depth Key Scaling
Vibrato depth key scaling produces natural vibrato depth variations across the range
of the keyboard by allowing different depth offset values to be applied to each of two
breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
• The
§
and

buttons (“
Bpag
” and “
Fpag
”) can be used to go directly
backward or forward to the next Vibrato key scaling page without having to
return to the main parameter page.
●
Depth
≤
0 … 127.
The “
Depth
” parameter is linked to the main Vibrato “
Vibrato Dpth
” param-
eter, and has the same effect. This value also determines the main depth on which all
key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph).
●
Breakpoint 1 & 2 Key
≤
C-2 … G8.
Allows two 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 a keyboard. To use a keyboard for breakpoint
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 & 2 Offset
≤
-64 … 63.
Set the amount of depth offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint
key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the vibrato depth, and positive values
increase the vibrato depth at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is
chosen, the actual depth will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value.
When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the vibrato depth varies
smoothly between the breakpoints.
