4-4: Mixing Tap Location Key Scalling
Mixing tap location key scaling produces natural timbre variations across the range
of the keyboard by allowing different tap location offset values to be applied to each of
six breakpoints set at appropriate keys.
The § button ("Bpag") can be used to go directly back to the next mixing
•
key scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page.
• Tap Location Key Scaling has no effect when the main Mixing page "Tap
Setting" parameter is set to "Driving Position".
TapLoc
The "TapLoc" parameter is linked to the main mixing "Tap Location" param-
eter, and has the same effect. This value also determines the main tap location on which
all key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph).
Breakpoint 1 ... 6 Key
Allows six separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2 and
G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use any
of the normal data entry procedures, or use the keyboard. To use the keyboard for break-
point entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press the •
button ("Kbd"), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint while
"Kbd" appears in inverse characters.
No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left.
Breakpoint 1 ... 6 Offset
Set the amount of tap location offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the
breakpoint key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the tap location value, and
positive values increase the tap location value at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter
what offset value is chosen, the actual tap location will never exceed its minimum or
maximum absolute value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent break-
points, the tap location varies smoothly between the breakpoints.
