Throat Formant; Harmonic Enhancer; 40: Thr Curve (Throat Formant Curve) - Yamaha VL70-m Owner's Manual

Throat Formant

38 : Thr CC No.
(24)
• Throat Formant Control Change Number
• Settings: off... 95, AT, VEL, PB
"Throat Formant" controls the characteristics of
the simulated player's lungs, trachea, and oral
cavity. Can add a realistic "roughness" to the
sound. The "Thr CC No." parameter specifies the
controller to be used for throat formant control.
When set to "off", no throat formant variation can
be produced via a controller, but a continuous
throat formant value is determined by the "39(25):
ThrCtrlDpt" parameter, below (negative values
increase the throat formant level).
• The "ThrCtrlDpt" parameter, below, must be set
to an appropriate value (higher than "+01" or
lower than "-01") for throat formant control to
have any effect.
• Throat Formant only applies to some reed-type
voices.
39 : ThrCtrlDpt
(25)
• Throat Formant Control Depth
• Settings: -127 ... +127 (VL-XG Mode: -64 ... +63)
Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to throat formant. The higher
the value the greater the variation. Positive values
cause an increase in throat formant effect in
response to higher controller values (e.g. increased
breath pressure or higher modulation wheel
position), while minus values cause a decrease in
throat formant effect in response to higher control-
ler values. The "Depth" setting is reflected in the
graph at the bottom of the display — the horizontal
axis represents the controller value and the vertical
axis represents throat formant depth.

40: Thr Curve
(VOICE mode only)
• Throat Formant Curve
• Settings: -16 ... +16
Determines the relationship between the controller
value and throat formant depth. When set to "+00"
the relationship is linear. That is, a change in the
controller value produces a corresponding change
in throat formant depth. As the curve value in-
creases the lower end of the controller range has
relatively little effect on the sound while higher
controller values produce more dramatic changes.
Negative curve values have the opposite effect: the
sound changes dramatically at low controller
values while higher values produce relatively little
effect. The "Curve" setting is reflected in the graph
at the bottom of the display — the horizontal axis
represents the controller value and the vertical axis
represents throat formant depth.

Harmonic Enhancer

41 : Hrm CC No.
(26)
• Harmonic Enhancer Control Change Number
• Settings: off ... 95, AT, VEL, PB
The Harmonic Enhancer can vary the harmonic
structure of the sound over a wide range. The
"Hrm CC No." parameter specifies the controller to
be used for harmonic enhancer depth (wet/dry
balance) control. When set to "off" no harmonic
enhancer depth variation can be applied via a
controller.
• The "HrmCtrlDpt" parameter, below, must be
set to an appropriate value (higher than "+01"
