To transpose SPARK from the notes it receives from the host sequencer or MIDI keyboard, use
the t V e . Clicking and dragging the whole number in the t V e changes
une alue Dit une alue Dit
the transposition in semitones. To fine tune the transposition, click and drag the digits after
the decimal point. This changes the transposition in cents.
The V V shows the number of voices that are used for one note to create the unison
oiceS alue
effect. The left number denotes the maximum number of polyphonic voices and the right
number shows the number of unison voices of the instrument. When the number of available
voices is exceeded by polyphonic playing, that is, the number of keys that are simultaneously
pressed, then the actual number of unison voices will be reduced automatically. These num-
bers are set in the header or the Properties of the instrument.
If the number of unison voices is more than one, the SprD c can be used to spread
ontroller
out the tuning of the individual voices around the note pitch, creating a fatter sound. You can
change the number of unison voices with the M u V and M u V parameters in
ax niSon in niSon
the Instrument Properties Page. For more details see the REAKTOR User Manual.
For small values the ranD p adds a more analog feel to the sound, for large values
araMeter
it creates a chaotic behaviour of the synthesizer. The ranD p controls the amount
araMeter
of random detuning applied to each voice when a note is played by the host sequencer or a
key is pressed on the MIDI controller. This is called a note-on event.
With the pb V e you change how much the pitchbend controller on your MIDI keyboard
alue Dit
or host sequencer can change the pitch.
