11: Reed Model

This oscillator is a physical model which simulates woodwind reed instruments such as a saxophone
or oboe.
By using key velocity or the modulation wheel to control Pressure (the strength with which the reed
is blown), you can use performance expressions that are very close to those of an actual woodwind
instrument. Also, by modulating the characteristics of the reed, you can produce tonal changes that
correspond with the way in which a reed is blown.2–1a: Inst Type

Jump Bend (+X)
Specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved in the +X direction (toward the right).
If this is checked, the pitch will rise in steps by changing the resonance of the bore, as on a flute.
If this is unchecked, the pitch will rise smoothly, as on most synthesizers.
Jump Bend (–X)
Specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved in the –X direction (toward the left).
If Jump Bend (+X) and Jump Bend (–X) are checked, notes may not sound depending on the position of the
joystick and the pitch range setting.
For details on setting the pitch range of the joystick, refer to "1-2c: Bending."
