When Start is selected
•
The record alignment test file is loaded and played.
•
The system records what it sees from your record strip.
•
A comparison is made between what was sent out and what was received back from the record strip.
•
A formula is applied to draw a curve for every note.
•
The slope of the curve is determined by the knee position you set. (default value should be 48).
•
Once the test is done you can view the results by going to view.
•
Now when you record, data that is input is modified so that the player system plays it back as you played
it in.
•
If you do not want to keep the adjustment curves, select reset and the data from the record strip will be
passed right through without adjustment. You can verify this by going to the view menu. If there is an XX
for every note then it has been reset.
•
Another feature is the addition of an expression curve setting for just recorded material. Prior to this
change we only offered a playback expression curve. The default value after alignment is done is One
To One, as it should be. This can be changed by going to "Setup - Defaults - MIDI - Expression -
Record" - and changing it.
•
The best way to judge the effect of what your changes are doing is to record a piece of music, play it
back, go to the Expression menu and make a change, push play, and listen. Do this until you have
optimal performance.
•
When viewing each of the notes we use the note number on the piano, starting with 1 on the bass side.
The corresponding MIDI note assignment is actually note 21.
•
If you have an 80 note player system the first 4 notes on the bass and treble ends of the piano will be
xx'ed out.
•
If any other notes are xx'ed out it means we did not get any information back from the record strip or we
did not see enough of a spread in velocities. The default curve will applied for that note meaning the
velocity received is passed through.

Expression: Includes 12 curves ranging from flat (non expressive) One to One (what comes in goes out), Expressive
(Incoming Velocities are modified for more dynamic range) to Dynamic (Even more dynamic) Various curves are also
included, that have worked well for Grand and Upright pianos. To give your piano a different feel try changing the
curves with a piece of music you like or have just recorded.
To adjust the dynamics of your piano or
select a specific piano, turn the data dial
# D E L A Y
until the E in Expression is underlined and
press enter.

LAYBACK
If MIDI In is your source or MIDI Merge is turned on, the standard MIDI system exclusive message for
start, stop and continue will play, stop and pause your system. So that external MIDI devices such as
drum machines, keyboards etc. can start or stop a performance when Chili is daisy chained. You will
have to check your external MIDI device to make sure they send out the appropriate code.

Enter
by default is set to expressive.
If you run record alignment this is
changed to One To One.
If you change this it will be sticky (stay set
for playback of a recorded piece.)
When recording, this curve will be applied
to your recorded file.
