Oscillator Parameters - Yamaha Dx200 Editor Software Manual

• Pitch EG Rate Scaling
Range: 0 ... 7
This determines how the
other words, this lets you automatically speed up or slow down the overall Pitch EG time
(Rate 1 - 4) of the pattern depending on which range of the keyboard you play. This
parameter controls the degree of scaling; a value of "0" produces no scaling, and higher
values produce a more pronounced scaling effect. For values other than "0," the higher
the note played, the shorter its overall Pitch EG time.
Pitch EG Rate Scaling is useful for simulating the natural pitch scaling found on many
acoustic instruments --- for example, as on a cello or double bass, for which the begin-
nings of lower notes may have a slower rise in pitch. It's also useful for producing
unusual pitch change effects depending on key position.
• Pitch EG Velocity Switch
Settings: ON, OFF
This determines whether Pitch EG intensity is touch sensitive or not. When set to "ON,"
the range of pitch change of the Pitch EG is affected by key velocity. This gives you
exceptionally realistic and expressive control over Pitch EG changes.

Oscillator Parameters

The Oscillator parameters give you detailed control over the pitch or frequency of the individ-
ual operators of a pattern.
• Oscillator Mode
Settings: Ratio, Fixed
This determines whether each operator changes pitch according to the notes playes.
When set to "Ratio" (Frequency Ratio Mode), the corresponding operator tracks the key-
board pitch normally. In other words, playing higher notes on the keyboard results in cor-
respondingly higher frequencies on the operator. When set to "Fixed" (Fixed Pitch
Mode), the keyboard does not affect the operator's frequency; the operator plays at the
same pitch no matter what key is played.
• The term "oscillator" refers to the frequency or waveform generating element of the operator.
