First return to the PITCH page (if youÕre still on the ASR page, press the more> soft button
three times, and the PITCH soft button will appear). Press PITCH, then select the Src1
parameter, and set its value to ASR1 (1, 1, 0, ENTER). Then select the Depth parameter, and set
its value to Ð1200 cents (+/-, 1, 2, 0, 0, ENTER). ASR1 has non-zero default values in Program
199, so youÕll hear the pitch drop an octave if you play a note. The PITCH page should look like
this:
Edit|Prog:PITCH|||||||||||||>Layer:1/1||

The next step is to adjust the characteristics of the stab by programming ASR1. Select the Src1
parameter again, and press EDIT to select the ASR page.
First, select the Trig parameter, and assign a value of VTRIG1 (1, 0, 6, ENTER). Select the Mode
parameter and set its value to Hold. Select the Delay parameter and set its value to .34 seconds
(3, 4, ENTER). Set the Attack parameter to a value of .78 seconds. The ASR page should now
look like this:
EditProg:ASR|||||||||||||||<>Layer:1/1||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||Trig:||Mode:|Delay:|Attack:Releas:
ASR1:|VTRIG1|Hold||0.34s||0.78s||1.00s||
ASR2:|ON|||||Hold||0.40s||0.48s||1.00s||

To make the stab sound realistic, weÕll drop the amplitude at the same rate as the pitch. To do
this, select the F4 AMP page (press the more> soft button once, then press the F4 AMP soft
button). Select the Adjust parameter, and assign a value of 8 dB. This will give the trumpet a bit
more punch. Next, select the Src1 parameter, and set its value to ASR1. Then select the Depth
parameter and set its value to -68 dB.
HereÕs an important point to remember. ASR1 is being used to control both the drop in pitch for
the stab, and the drop in amplitude as well. All of the control sources can be similarly assigned
for as many parameters as you like.
The Þnal step in this example is to set the velocity threshold of the stab. Right now the stab is
occurring on almost every note, but we want it to happen only when playing fortissimo or
louder. To do this, press the more> soft button three times, then press the VTRIG soft button to
select the VTRIG page. The VTrig1 Level parameter is already selected, so just turn the Alpha
Wheel until the VTrig1 Level value is ff. Now you can play softly without triggering the stab.
ThatÕs it for Example 1. If you want to save your work, the easiest way is to press EXIT. The
K2vx will ask you if you want to save. You should probably press the Rename soft button, give
your program a new name, then save it with a new ID. See Chapter 5 if you need help with the
Save dialog.
