The KeyMap parameter is already selected, and as you can see, the Default program uses the
Grand Piano Keymap. Use any data entry method to change the Keymap to Trumpet, which
has ID 17. The KEYMAP page should look like the diagram above when you're done.
Remember that you can play your MIDI controller's keyboard at any time while editing, so you
can listen to each change as you make it.
Next set up the vibrato. Start by selecting the PITCH page (press the PITCH soft button). Use
the cursor keys to move the cursor to the Src2 parameter. Use any data entry method to select
LFO1 as its value by pressing 1, 1, 4, ENTER on the numeric keypad (or hold ENTER and strike
B5 on the keyboard). This assigns LFO1 to control the pitch of the trumpet sample.
The next step is to set the depth of the vibrato. Select the MaxDpt parameter and assign a value
of 10 cents (1, 0, ENTER). Since the default program is preset to have your controller's Mod
Wheel control the depth of Src2, you can hear the vibrato by pushing the Mod Wheel fully up
(LFO1 has non-zero default values in the default program, otherwise, you wouldn't hear the
vibrato). If you're not sure you hear the vibrato, try setting the MaxDpt parameter to a larger
value.
Next, select the DptCtl parameter and assign a value of ASR2 by pressing 1, 1, 1, then ENTER
(or hold ENTER and strike G#5 on the keyboard). This will cause ASR2 to control the depth of
the vibrato. At this point, the default values for ASR2 will cause the vibrato to fade in and out.
There are two more steps to programming the delayed vibrato: adjusting the rate of LFO1 and
setting up ASR2 to control the vibrato's delay. First, highlight Src2 and press EDIT; this brings
up the LFO page. The default value for LFO1's minimum rate (the MnRate parameter) is 2
seconds. Select this parameter with the cursor buttons, and set its value to .16 seconds (1, 6,
ENTER). Select the MxRate parameter, and set its value to 4.40 Hz (4, 4, 0, ENTER). Select the
RateCt parameter, and assign a value of ASR2 (1, 1, 1, ENTER). The vibrato will still fade in and
out because of the default settings of ASR2.
The LFO page should now look like this:
EditProg:LFO|||||||||||||||<>Layer:1/1||

Now select the ASR page to adjust the settings for ASR2. Since the cursor is highlighting ASR2
as the value for the RateCt parameter, you can select the ASR page by pressing EDIT.
To program a realistic delayed vibrato, you need to adjust the Mode, Delay, and Attack
parameters. Select the Mode parameter and change its value to Hold (use the Alpha Wheel or
19-2
