4: Growl

• An inverse "K"(˚) next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to
that parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press
the ¶ button ("KSC") to go directly to the key scaling page for that param-
eter. You can return to the growl parameter page by pressing the ] button.
The • button ("Ctrl") can be used to go directly to the growl controller
•
page (≥
directory. You can then return to the growl parameter page by pressing •
("Para") again.
Dpth to Pres
≤
0 ... 127.
Determines how deeply the settings in this display page affect pressure. The higher
the value the greater the effect. No growl effect will be produced if this and the "Dpth
to BNoise" parameter, below, are set to "0".
Dpth to BNoise
≤
0 ... 127.
Determines how deeply the settings in this display page affect breath noise. The
higher the value the greater the effect.No growl effect will be produced if this and the
"Dpth to Pres" parameter, above, are set to "0".
Offset
≤
-127 ... 127.
Sets the central value around which the growl variation occurs. For example, if the
"Dpth to Pres" parameter is set to a high value and "Offset" is set to "0", then
the growl variation will swing equally above and below the the actual pressure of the
note played. Higher offset values shift the central pressure value upward while lower
values shift the pressure downward. No growl effect will be produced when this param-
eter is set to "127".
Vibrato Sync
≤
off, on.
Allows the growl variation to be synchronized to vibrato.

Growl speed and randomness are synchronized to the same vibrato
parameters. In this case the speed and randomness parameters, listed
below, will not appear.
The growl variation is independent from the vibrato variation.
