Feature Reference
Breakpoint 1 ... 8 Key
Allows eight 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
breakpoint 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
(indicated by a dotted line on the graph).
No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left.
Breakpoint 1 ... 6 Offset
Set the amount of level offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint
key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the level, and positive values increase the
level at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is chosen, the actual
level will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value. When different offset
values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the level varies smoothly between the break-
points.
