Poly/Mono
Settings: Poly, Mono
This determines how notes of the pattern are allocated. The "Mono" (monophonic) set-
ting allows only one note to be sounded at a time. This is useful for reproducing "classic"
synthesizer lead and bass sounds, and is also ideal for playing parts in which you delib-
erately want the end of one note to be cut off by the next. The "Poly" setting allows you to
play up to sixteen notes simultaneously.
• Poly/Mono is a
parameter in the Edit Panel window.
Random Pitch
Range: 0 ... 7
This function lets you randomize the overall pitch of the pattern for each note you play.
When this is set to "0," Random Pitch is turned off. Higher values produce greater
amounts of random pitch change for successively played notes.
Pitch Envelope Generator (Pitch EG) Parameters
These parameters (eleven altogether) determine how the pitch of the pattern
changes over time. The Pitch EG parameters affect all operators equally.
The four Level parameters determine the pitch of the operator at five different
points, and the four Rate parameters determine the amount of time that elapses
between changes of pitch. Range, Rate Scaling, and Velocity Switch parameters
give you further detailed control over the Pitch EG effect.
Pitch EG can be used to reproduce the subtle pitch changes of acoustic instru-
ments (for example, at the beginning and/or end of a note). At extreme settings, it
also can be used to create unusual special effects.
You can also conveniently edit the Pitch EG parameters from the EG window. To
make changes to this, click on the down arrow above the EG window, and select
the Pitch EG. Then, click on one of the box "joints" and drag it to change the EG
settings. The current relevant Pitch EG values appear at the cursor as you drag it.
• A real-time pitch controller, such as the Pitch Bend wheel on a connected MIDI keyboard, can be
used to augment (or cancel) the "automatic" pitch changes made in the Pitch EG parameters.
