Part (UP1, UP2, LWR, MBS, MDR)
This parameter allows you to select the Realtime part whose Extra Bender settings you wish
to edit.
Parameter
The Extra Bender has the same effect when turned fully to the left or to the right. It does not
work like the Bender lever that raises the pitch when turned to the right, and lowers it when
turned to the left. That is why, in the introduction of the Player's Guide, the Extra Bender
function was described as a kind of aftertouch effect. Aftertouch, as you may know, also only
works in one direction.
Parameter Meaning
E A IA AA A A A RN ANA
This parameter has the same effect as the pitch bend feature. In other words, it
PChng
MER
allows you to bend the notes you play using the selected part even beyond the
(-24~24) e :
o pitch bend range value (see page 34).
Setting a positive or negative value for this parameter means that the cutoff fre-
quency of the Tone assigned to the selected part can be increased or decreased.
TVF Cutoff Note: Depending on the value you set for "TVF Cutoff [-63~+63]" on page 11,
(-64~63) high positive or negative settings may have no audibie effect. That is also the
case of Tones whose cutoff frequency is already preset to the maximum
value.
Setting a positive or negative value for this parameter allows you to increase or
Amplitude decrease the voiume of the selected part using the Extra Bender feature.
(-64~63) Note: Again, the volume cannot be increased (or decreased) beyond "127" (or
"0"). If the volume of the part is question is already set to "127" (or "0"),
using the Extra Bender will produce no audible effect.
This parameter allows you to increase or decrease the modulation speed of
LFO1 Rate LFO1. Use this function in combination with the Modulation axis of the Bender/
(~64~63) Modulation lever, or to change the modulation speed of the preset automatic
modulation.
LFO1 Pitch This parameter allows you to add pitch modulation using the Extra Bender fea-
(0-127) ture. Pitch modulation is usually referred to as vibrato.
LFO1 TVF This parameter allows you to add cutoff frequency modulation using the Extra
(0-127) Bender function. This is also known as wah-wah.
LFO1 TVA This parameter allows you to add amplitude modulation using the Extra Bender
(0-127) | function. This is also known as tremolo.
E E Same setting range and meaning as the equivalent LFO1 parameters. Note that
LFO2 TVF not all Tones use a second LFO, which is why these settings do not always yield
LEQ? TVA the desired effect.
Note: Except for Rate, the LFO parameters are absolute settings, i.e. settings that do not influence
existing settings, which explains why their setting range is 0-127 rather than -64~63. Use these
parameters (Pitch~TVA) to add a new aspect to the selected Tone.
Note: Like the Part parameters (see page 10), the Extra Bender settings apply to the Realtime part
in question, so that selecting another Tone for such a part does not mean that the Value settings
(see below) will be reset to "0".
