3: Vibrato

• An inverse "K"(˚) next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to
that parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press
the ¶ button ("KSC") to go directly to the key scaling page for that param-
eter. You can return to the vibrato parameter page by pressing the ]
button.
The • button ("Ctrl") can be used to go directly to the vibrato controller
•
page (
directory. You can then return to the vibrato parameter page by pressing •
("Para") again.
• The "Delay Time", "Attack Rate", and "Sustain Lvl" parameters
define the vibrato effect at all times, and do not affect vibrato as controlled via
a controller.
Delay Time
Sets the delay time between the instant a note is played and the beginning of the
vibrato effect. The higher the value the longer the delay.
Attack Rate
This parameter produces a gradual increase in vibrato depth when the vibrato effect
begins. The higher the value the faster the attack rate and therefore the faster the vibrato
"fade in".
Sustain Lvl
Sets the final vibrato depth after the delay time and attack have passed. The higher
the value the greater the vibrato depth. This parameter sets the vibrato depth independ-
ently of the depth applied by the controller assigned to vibrato. If you want to apply
vibrato via a controller only, set this parameter to "0".
Vibrato Dpth
Sets the vibrato depth as applied by the controller assigned to vibrato (
69) and the vibrato envelope generator controlled by the "Delay Time", "Attack
Rate", and "Sustain Lvl" parameters. The higher the value the greater the vibrato
depth. When set to "0" no vibrato can be applied via a controller or the vibrato envelope
generator.
