3: Element Pitch

Element 1 Detune
Element 2 Detune
Produces a slight upward or downward shift in the pitch of Element 1 or Element 2,
and therefore a detuning effect in relation to the other element. Minus values lower the
pitch while positive values raise the pitch. The change in pitch produced by each incre-
ment is very slight (on the order of a few cents per increment). Both elements can be
independently detuned in relation to each other, and in relation to the VL1's true pitch as
determined by the UTILITY mode "Master Tuning" parameter (
1-element voice is being edited the "Element 2 Detune" parameter will not appear —
unless the Voice Mode is set to "Single" and the Key Mode is set to "Unison". In the
latter case the "Element 2 Detune" parameter appears because the same voice is
being played in the unison mode.
Element 1 Note Shift
Element 2 Note Shift
Shifts the pitch of Element 1 or Element 2 up or down in semitone increments.
Minus values lower the pitch while positive values raise the pitch. The pitches of both
elements can be independently shifted in relation to each other, and in relation to the
VL1's true pitch as determined by the UTILITY mode "Master Tuning" parameter
( Page 154).
Element 1 Random Pitch
Element 2 Random Pitch
Produces a slight random variation in the pitch of Element 1 or Element 2, simulat-
ing the effect of acoustic instruments in which perfectly stable effect is rarely achieved. A
setting of "0" produces no random pitch variation; "7" produces maximum random pitch
variation.
