Pitch Envelope Generator (Pr1, Pl1, Pr2, Pl2, Pr3, Pl3) - Yamaha V50 Authorized Product Manual

Explanation
This EG shift setting selects the level difference be-
tween maximum and minimum levels.
off ...... The minimum level of the EG is 96dB below
the maximum level.
48 ........ The minimum level of the EG is 48dB below
the maximum level.
24 ........The minimum level of the EG is 24dB below
the maximum level.
........The minimum level of the EG is 12dB below
12
the maximum level.
Settings of 12-48 will mean that the operator will be
producing sound even when no key is pressed. (This is
normally used on modulator operators.)
Note:
If a setting other than "off" is used on an operator
that is functioning as a carrier, the sound will continue
even when no key is pressed.
Operator 1 is permanently set to "off".
Pitch envelope generator
(PR1, PL1, PR2, PL2, PR3, PL3)
Press (PEG)
The pitch envelope generator modifies the pitch over
time. It applies to the entire voice (all operators). The
pitch envelope generator uses three rates and three levels,
as shown in the diagram.
PR1 ...... Rate of pitch change from PL3 to PL1 starting
when key is pressed.
PR2...... Rate of pitch change from PL1 to PL2.
PR3 ...... Rate of pitch change to PL3 starting when key
is released.
PL1 ...... Pitch level moved toward when key is pressed.
PL2 ...... Pitch level maintained while key remains
pressed.
PL3 ...... Pitch level moved toward when key is relased.
(1) PR1, PR2, PR3
Function
Set the rates of PEG pitch change.
Settings
0 – 99
Explanation
Higher settings result in faster change. Lower settings
result in slower change.
PR1 is the rate of pitch change from PL3 to PL1
starting when the key is pressed.
PR2 is the rate of pitch change from PL1 to PL2.
PR3 is the rate of pitch change to PL3 starting
when the key is released.
(2) PL1, PL2, PL3
Function
Set the levels of PEG pitch change.
Settings
0 – 99
Explanation
A setting of 50 is the correct pitch of the key that
was pressed. A setting of 99 is 4 octaves higher, and
a setting of 0 is 4 octaves lower.
When you press the key, the pitch will move to-
ward PL1.
If you continue pressing the key, the pitch level
PL2 will be maintained.
When you release the key, the pitch will move
toward PL3.
Note:
If the pitch envelope generator is used to create ex-
treme variations in pitch, it will be difficult to hear
the "true" pitch of the sound.
If extremely high or low pitch levels are set, the
pitch change may appear uneven.
