COMBINATION
This function lets you establish the pitch independently for
cach module, By detuning some modules, you can create
"thick" sound, or emphasize certain "harmonic", etc.
'The PITCH FIX parameter can also be set in this func-
tion. This lets you simulate the "attack" sound of certain
instruments, by fixing the frequency of one module so that
the same pitch is produced by any note number.
'Note that when the PITCH FIX function is set 10 ON,
different set of parameters appears in the display (FIG-B).
Parameters with PITCH FIX set to OFF (normal detuning)
HARMONIC: Used to set the harmonic level at w h i c h
the
detuned module will sound in comparison with the stan-
dard frequency. When the harmonic level is set, other
parameters are adjusted to appropriate corresponding levels
automatically, At a value of "1," the standard frequency
is specified and no detuning is effected.
POLARITY (POL): Used to specify whether the module
will be tuned above (+) or below
(—) the standard fre-
quency
OCTAVE (OCT): Used to raise pitch in I-octave
increments.
NOTE (NOTE): Used to raise or lower fixed pitch in half-
tone (100-cent) increments.
FINE TUNING (FINE): Used to alter pitch in 1.6-cent
increments (approximate),
When detuning is effected with the NOTE and FINE
parameters, the resulting harmonic will not be an "e
of the standard frequency. Because oft
marks to the right of the HARMONI
te
that the harmonic is slightly higher or lower than the dis
played harmonic value (differs with detuning)
(FIG-C)
Parameters with PITCH FIX set to ON
RANGE (x1 or 1/16): When set to "1" (FIG-B), the
"octave range" ofthe fixed-pitch sound will correspond
to the MIDI instrument pitch (and OCTAVE parameter
sting), within a range of approximately F = -1 to C= 10.
By selecting the "x 1/16" parameter (FIG-C), the
pitch sound will be shifted to a range is equal to F =
approximately C + 6, (In some cases, the sound
bbe audible, as it's frequency is too low for the hut
'Try raising the OCT value in this case,)
OCTAVE (OCT): Used to raise pitch in I
increments
NOTE (NOTE): Used to raise or lower fixed pitch i
tone (100-cent) increments. (When OCT is set to "10
range is limited to between "00" and "07."")
FINE TUNING (FINE): Used to alter piteh in 1
an initialized setting (DETUNE OFF),
To COPY the detuning specifications of the selected
tle to another module, first select MENU 1-02 a
'module containing the detune settings you want to)
from.
N e x t , hold down the WRITE key and then pr
MODULE SELECT key corresponding to the modi
'want to copy into.
To INITIALIZE the selected module, first select
1-02 and the module containing the detuning specifi
'you want to initialize. Next, hold down the WRI
and then press the YES key. Detuning settings will be
to initialized values (DETUNE OFF).
