[INST] Expanding the maximum value of DQM parameter
For all timbre layers (Main, Sub, Extra), the value range of DQM (Dynamic Q Modulation) has been extended (0 – 200).
Prior to this, it was noted that the audible effects of DQM, even with higher values was not pronounced enough to be
considered an expressive dynamic effect. In order to maintain compatibility and consistency for tones created with earlier
firmware versions, DQM values set in the range 0 to 100 will produce the same effect as before. However, the extension
of the range from 101 to 200 raises the sensitivity of the DQM processing, which produces a stronger audible result that
sounds natural. One noticeable effect is that the decay of the sound will significantly increase when you play loudly and
with force.
Instrument and effect parameters
[INST] Adding XtraBoost
The output signal of the Extra timbre layer varies significantly depending on the algorithm setting for XtraType and the
filter settings. For this reason, the output signal is compressed to prevent distortion. In order to compensate for the signal
attenuation, a new function XtraBoost has been added. XtraBoost can be used to increase the gain of the output signal,
from no gain at a setting of zero, to a maximum signal gain equivalent to 20.0 dB.
The same increase in gain effect can be achieved by increasing the value of the ‘Overdrive’ effect parameter enabled
for the Main and Sub layers (Main OD, Sub OD). However, in the case of the Xtra layer, the gain process is not designed
to add audible distortion. If distortion does occur, this will be due to the signal clipping. In this case, reduce the level of
XtraBoost.
Please note that the XtraBoost parameter is excluded from randomization processing, and will not be changed when the
randomize function is used to change timbre layer parameter values.
XtraBoost is implemented as a gain control regardless of XtraType, The gain will rise at 0.2dB step at 1 to 100.
(MAX: 20dB)
When XtraType is Click 1, Click 2, Click 3, or Click 4, in addition to the gain, EQ sensitivity will rise.The EQ sensitivity
reaches the maximum sensitivity at 15, and in the range from 16 to 100, only the gain increases.
