3-4: Vibrato Speed Key Scaling
Vibrato speed key scaling produces natural vibrato speed variations across the range
of the keyboard by allowing different speed offset values to be applied to each of two
breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
• The
§
button (“
Bpag
” ) can be used to go directly backward to the next
Vibrato key scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page.
●
Speed
≤
0 … 127.
The “
Speed
” parameter is linked to the main Vibrato “
Speed
” parameter, and has
the same effect. This value also determines the main speed setting 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 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 & 2 Offset
≤
-64 … 63.
Set the amount of speed offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint
key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the vibrato speed, and positive values
increase the vibrato speed at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is
chosen, the actual speed will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value.
When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the vibrato speed varies
smoothly between the breakpoints.
