Hierarchy Of Controls
Mode A, B, C & D
Mode A
In mode A, the Persephone will play the ‘classical way’ with the right hand
controlling the pitch via the position on the ribbon and the filter frequency
via the pressure on the ribbon. The left hand on the expression key plays on
the amplitude of the note while the pedal controls the volume.
Mode B
In mode B, the pitch is determined by the position of the fingers on the
ribbon, just like in the other modes. The pressure on the ribbon will
determine the amplitude of the note. The expression key will control the
filter frequency while the pedal controls the volume.
Mode C or tremolo mode
The particularity of mode C is the tremolo. The ribbon controls are the same
as in mode B with the position on the ribbon determining the pitch and the
pressure controlling the amplitude of the note. The tremolo is reproduced by
the action of the LFO on the amplitude of the note. The tremolo parameters
(depth and speed) will be controlled by the expression key (tremolo depth)
and the pedal (for the tremolo speed).
Mode D or vibrato mode
The particularity of mode D is the vibrato. The ribbon controls are the same
as in mode B and C with the position on the ribbon determining the pitch
and the pressure controlling the amplitude of the note. The vibrato is the
action of the LFO on the pitch of the note. The vibrato parameters (depth
and speed) will be controlled by the expression key (vibrato depth) and the
pedal (for the vibrato speed).
