4-2: Mixing Pipe/String Output Key Scalling
Mixing pipe/string output key scaling produces natural timbre variations across the
range of the keyboard by allowing different pipe/string output offset values to be applied
to each of six breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
• The
§
and
¶
buttons (“ Bpag ” and “ Fpag ”) can be used to go directly
backward or forward to the next mixing key scaling page without having to
return to the main parameter page.
●
P/S Out
≤
0 … 127.
The “
P/S Out
” parameter is linked to the main mixing “
Pipe/String Out-
put
” parameter, and has the same effect. This value also determines the main output
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 output offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the break-
point key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the output, and positive values
increase the output at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is
chosen, the actual output level will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute
value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the output varies
smoothly between the breakpoints.
