The Pitch Page; Fine Hz; The F1-F3 Pages - Kurzweil K2661 Musician's Manual

For more information, refer to the discussion of the TRIM page's Alt point on page 14-16.

The PITCH Page

Press the PITCH soft button, and the PITCH page will appear. These parameters adjust the pitch
(playback rate) of the samples after the root has been selected by the keymap.

These parameters were described in the section on common DSP control parameters earlier in
this chapter, so we won't repeat them here, but a word about the Fine Hz parameter is in order.

Fine Hz

This measures pitch adjustment by the relative frequency (in Hertz) of each note. This is useful
for controlling the beat frequency between layers in a multi-layered program. Using this
parameter to detune chorusing layers will keep the beat frequency constant across much of the
keyboard. Although the ratio of frequencies between each layer remains constant, the detuning
will increase at lower pitches, and can become extreme. The K2661 automatically limits the
amount of detuning when it becomes extreme, so you'll notice the beat frequencies moving out
of sync when you play low pitches.
The F1–F3 Pages
These pages are reached by pressing the F1, F2, and F3 soft buttons, respectively. They contain
the parameters governing the three variable DSP functions in each algorithm. The pages vary
depending on the DSP functions selected for the three middle DSP control inputs, represented
