Pitch Scaling
Depth
Note Shift (Shift)
Range: -32 — +32 (semitones)
This determines the coarse pitch setting for the Element in
semitones. (Fine pitch adjustments can be made in Detune
below.)
Pitch Scaling Center Note (Center)
Range: C-2 — G8
This determines the central note around which the Pitch
Scaling is based. For example, when this is set to C3, the
C3 key (middle C) plays at conventional pitch, and all other
notes around it are scaled in pitch according to the Pitch
Scaling Depth setting below.
Pitch Scaling Depth (Scaling)
Settings: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%, 100%
This determines the Pitch Scaling, or how pitch is tracked
across the keyboard. A setting of 0% results in normal
scaling; in other words, conventional pitch intervals are
used. A setting of 100% results in constant pitch across the
keyboard; all notes sound at the same pitch. Intermediate
settings provide microtonal scaling. For example, a 5%
setting results in a 24-note octave; in other words, a one-
octave interval corresponds to two octaves on the keyboard.
Detune
Range: -50 — +50 cents (approx. +/- 1 semitone)
This determines the fine pitch setting for the Element in
cents. (Coarse pitch adjustments can be made in Note Shift
above.)
