Pitch Bend Range
These two sliders allow you to set the amount of pitch bend up or down when a MIDI
pitch wheel message is received. Pitch wheel messages are automatically routed to pitch
unless these controls are set to zero.
Tuning Controls
Transpose
This function allows you to transpose the key of the selected voice(s) in semitone
intervals by shifting the keyboard position relative to middle C. The transpose range is
-36 to +36 semitones. You will normally use the transpose function to tune a voice to its
keyboard location, or simply to transpose the voice.
This is the same Transpose control displayed on the Mix/Tune tab of Voices & Zones
(page 61)
and changes made to either page will appear in both places.
Coarse Tuning
This function allows you to change the tuning of the voice in semitone intervals. The
coarse tuning range is -72 to +24 semitones. Unlike the transpose function, coarse
tuning stretches the pitch of the individual samples assigned to a key and may change
the timbre of a voice.
This is the same Coarse Tuning control displayed on the Mix/Tune tab of Voices & Zones
(page 61)
and changes made to either page will appear in both places.
Fine Tuning
This function allows you to change the tuning of the voice in 1/100 cent intervals (100
cents = 1 semitone). The fine tuning range is ± 1 semitone. Fine tuning can be used to
slightly detune a voice, creating a "fatter" sound when it is combined with another
voice.
This is the same Fine Tuning control displayed on the Mix/Tune tab of Voices & Zones
(page 61)
and changes made to either page will appear in both places.
Fixed Pitch Mode
This function turns keyboard transposition On or Off for the voice. With Fixed Pitch
On, the keyboard will not control the pitch of the voice. This is a useful function for
drones or "chiffs", which you may not want to track the keyboard.
