Getting started
The right touch fader controls the dynamics of Press
,
or the response of the
keywave surface
to continuous pres-
sure applied after
Strike
. When the
Press
Touch Fader
is at
a lower setting, the spectrum of sound available to modulate
through pressure is narrower. This means that you can reach
the maximum end of the range of modulation through light-
er pressure on the
keywave surface
. When the
Press
Touch
Fader
is at a higher setting, the spectrum of sound available
through pressure is wider. This means that you will press more
firmly to reach the maximum end of the range of modulation,
and you will be able to access a wider range of intermediate
sounds as you vary pressure on the
keywave surface
Note: The illumination on the Press Touch Fader corresponds
to the depth of pressure that must be exerted to travel be-
tween the two poles of the sound available for modulation.
XY Touchpad
In
Expression Mode
, you can control any sound parameter
in
Equator
through touch along the X and Y axis of the XY
Touchpad (see Figure 12). The XY Touchpad provides two as-
signable MIDI control signals. Many external hardware synths
and third-party synth plug-ins can also use these two control
signals as modulation sources. The XY Touchpad defaults
to transmit the following MIDI CCs:
X axis: MIDI CC 113
Y axis: MIDI CC 114
MIDI Mode
Indicated by a white LED (see Figure 13)
MIDI Mode
allows the
Touch Faders
to be assigned to any
MIDI CCs using the Modulation Panel in
Equator
. This allows
additional customisation of sound parameters.
The
Touch Faders
are assignable but default to transmit the
following MIDI CCs:
Glide
Touch Fader
: MIDI CC 107
Slide
Touch Fader
: MIDI CC 109
Press
Touch Fader
: MIDI CC 111
Figure 11
The center touch fader controls the
dynamics of Slide. When the Slide
Touch Fader
is at a higher setting, the
spectrum of sound available along the
Y axis is wider.
