• Pitch EG Range
Settings:
1/2v (six semitones)
1va (one octave)
2va (two octaves)
8va (eight octaves)
This determines the maximum range of pitch change with the Pitch EG. For example,
when this is set to "1va," the full range of the
octave (six semitones above and below the normal pitch value of "50"). The minimum
setting of "1/2v" lets you create subtle pitch changes, whereas the maximum setting of
"8va" is for extreme pitch variations.
• 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 voice depending on which range of the keyboard you play. This param-
eter 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.
