Excitation Level To Driver Key Scaling - Yamaha VL Owner's Manual

Excitation Level to Driver Key Scaling

Excitation level to driver key scaling produces natural excitation level to driver
variations across the range of the keyboard by allowing different level offset values to be
applied to each of three breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
The § and ¶ buttons ("Bpag" and "Fpag") can be used to go directly
•
backward or forward to the next excitation key scaling page without having to
return to the main parameter page.
LvlDrv
¯
The "LvlDrv" parameter is linked to the main excitation "Lvl to Drv" param-
eter, and has the same effect. This value also determines the main level to driver value on
which all key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph).
Breakpoint 1 ... 3 Key
¯
Allows three separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2
and G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use
any of the normal data entry procedures, or use the keyboard. To use the keyboard for
breakpoint entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press
the • button ("Kbd"), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint
while "Kbd" appears in inverse characters.
No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left.
Breakpoint 1 ... 3 Offset
¯
Set the amount offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint key
parameters, above. Negative values reduce the level, and positive values increase the
level at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is chosen, the actual
level will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value. When different offset
values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the level varies smoothly between the break-
points.
