MIDI (MIDI Pitch Event Left)
MIDI Pitch Event provides a fast link between a MIDI
Note Event and interval pitch shifting. By establishing
a patch with NOTE EVENT as source and PITCH
EVENT as destination, the amount of pitch shift can
track incoming notes in semitone intervals. Pressing
the KEY will tell you the curent pitch shift.
REF (Reference MIDI Note Left)
REF sets the MIDI Note Value for no pitch change,
NULL + 0C, when under MIDI control.
MIR (Pitch Mirror Left)
MIR selects the direction of MIDI pitch control. When
MIR is ON, pitch is shifted down for increasing note
values.
GLL (Glide Stereo/Left)
GLL affects both channels in stereo mode, and the left
channel in mono mode. It changes the pitch continu-
ously over a range of + one octave. This allows a
glissando to be performed, either manually with the
LARC, or via MIDI. The full resolution of the pitch shift
is not available on this control, although vernier (fine
tuning) is available by pressing the button under the
slider twice.
SPL (Splice Length)
SPL sets the amount of time the splice takes to com-
plete. It is only active at moderate values of pitch shift.
Very short splices produce less of a metallic or comb-
ing sound in the pitch shift, but can sometimes be
audible as a click or a glitch. Longer splices are
sometimes less obvious, but can affect the timbre of
the sound. High values of pitch shift require short
splices, so SPL is deactivated if the pitch shift selected
is quite high. The default value of 16 gives good results
in most applications.
