Programming
the
TRACKING Generators
Parameter DYNSCALE
is
used
to
define
the
shape
of the
curve which
represents the conversion
of
beat strength into audible volume.
The
ADD-one has
10
tracking generators each with
256
dynamic stages
(000
to 255)
which control this dynamic scaling. They are arranged
in
a
grid
of
8
corner points
for the
beat strength
in
comparison
to the
volume
sounding. The graph below
is
designed
to
illustrate
this relation:
1
2
3
4
5

7
B
This enables the user
to
match the unit extremely sensitively
to
his own
style
of
playing,
i.e.
the "heavy" type can shift the
dynamic jumps
into
the upper range of the beat
strength while
the "softy" can set the
conversion
in
such
a
way
that he only need tap the pads
to
create high
volume
In
the
graph above, compare:
TK
1
=
"heavy"
TK
2
=
"softy"
The
following curve shape possibilities are given:
DYl-3
=
factory preset function curves (factory presets)
TK-0-9
=
ten freely
programmable curve shapes (TRACKING OUTPUT).
This
capability
is
not only
designed
to
match various styles
of
playing
or
using pads with non-linear characteristics, but also enables
a
host
of
other effects, such
as
"cross-fading",
i.e.
fading
one sound into
another
in
relation
to
the beat strength.
For
programming, press
the CODE key and the
TRACKING page will appear.
The
bottom line indicates
the
8
limit values
for the
beat strength axis.
The upper line
functions
as
a
peak meter. Now hit any pad and compare the
level deflection with your beat strength. With this
aid, you can set the
limit values with
considerable accuracy
to the
beat thresholds.
