return to the directory.
The • button ("Para") can be used to go directly to the Vibrato parameter

Controller
This is essentially a standard vibrato (pitch modulation) effect. An extensive range
of parameters makes it possible to achieve extremely natural vibrato effects. The amounts
of vibrato applied via pitch and embouchure, for example, are independently programma-
ble. The "Controller" parameter specifies the controller to be used for vibrato depth
control. When set to "off" no vibrato can be applied.
Depth
Sets the amount of variation produced by the controller assigned to vibrato. The
higher the value the greater the variation. Positive values cause an increase in vibrato
depth in response to higher controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or higher
modulation wheel position), while minus values cause a decrease in vibrato depth in
response to higher controller values.
• No vibrato effect can be applied via any controller if the ELEMENT ENVE-
LOPE "Vibrato Depth", "Depth to Embouchure", or "Depth to
Pitch" parameters are set to "0" (
