RADICAL DELTA CEP A, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 47 / 63

TIP: Of course, you can also use all three methods to transfer from one device to the other
device.
TIP2: The DELTA CEP A will receive the dump as long as you are the fourth utility menu.
6. Note-trigger and note priority settings
Different generations of synthesizers had developed different electronic circuit technology
to interrogate keyboards of synthesizers. The various techniques produced different
behaviors in case that one plays more than one key simultaneously. The oldest two variants
were the "lowest note" - and the "highest grade" priority. Later, when the keyboard query
was done digitally, another variant was added - the priority of the last played note. This
means that the last played note always has priority. Since the DELTA CEP A does not have
a keyboard and of course only one voltage can be applied to its CV output at the same
time, the following settings have relevance only for MIDI control.
You may be wondering why this imperfection of pitch detection should be customizable at
all, rather than just using the "Last Note Priority". This is because these older techniques
can be used creatively when playing a solo. For example, if you are in “highest note” priority
while holding down a note and quickly tapping a note above it (with a higher pitch), the
DELTA will play the two notes in rapid alternation, even though you are tapping only the
higher note. This is especially useful when playing trills and is an interesting way to virtually
increase the virtuosity.
Older synthesizers such as the original Minimoog had another weakness. If you played
something inaccurate and held the previous note a bit too late, so that the old and the new
note briefly overlapped, the envelope was not triggered on the new note. This is
unsatisfactory especially for percussive sounds with strong envelope influence. Ingenious
developers came up with the idea to re-trigger the envelope depending on the recorded
keyboard voltage. This option was called multi-trigger. Of course, this technique was
adapted for the DELTA CEP A, but it can also be switched off. With multi-trigger you can
create sound variations by overlapping notes. By combining the different trigger and note
priority settings you get 6 options:
