EDIT Feature Reference pages: VL1 86; VL1-m 86; VL7 84 43 VL Version 2 EDIT/E1/MISC/THROAT FORMANT/KSC (Pitch) The number of breakpoints has been increased from four to eight, allowing much greater key-scaling precision. Feature Reference pages: VL1 93; VL1-m 93; VL7 91 EDIT/E1/MISC/MIXING q Tap Setting ¯ Driving Point, Fixed, KeyTrack, Fixed(Straight), KeyTrack(Straight) In the original VL models the "Tap Setting" parameter had only two settings: "Variable" and "Driving Point". In Version 2 five settings are available: "Driving Point", "Fixed", "KeyTrack", "Fixed(Straight)", and "KeyTrack(Straight)". The "Driving Point" setting has the same effect as in the original version, while the "KeyTrack" setting is equivalent to the original "Variable" setting. When the "Fixed" setting is selected the driving point is fixed at the position specified by the "Tap Location" parameter -- directly in microseconds through milliseconds: from 20. 8 µsec to 946 µsec, and then from 1. 01 msec to 42. 7 msec. The "Fixed(Straight)" and "KeyTrack(Straight)" parameters are essentially the same as the "Fixed" and "KeyTrack" parameters, except that they cover a broader range of settings for greater sonic variation. The number of Tap Location key-scaling breakpoints has been increased from 6 to 8 for exacting control. Feature Reference pages: VL1 98; VL1-m 98; VL7 96 EDIT/E1/MISC/EXCITATION The parameters in this page can be used to apply a pulse-wave excitation signal to the string or reed to create a plucked effect. · An inverse "K" next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to that parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press the ¶ ("KSC") button or [ button to go directly to the key scaling page for that parameter. You can return to the excitation parameter page by pressing the ] button. 44 VL Version 2 q Lvl to P/S ¯ -127 . . . 127 Sets the level of excitation signal applied to the pipe or string. Negative values produce a reverse-phase excitation signal. q Lvl to Drv ¯ -127 . . . 127 Sets the level of excitation signal applied to the driver. Negative values produce a reverse-phase excitation signal. 4. New Features & Parameters q LPF Cutoff ¯ 31. 1 Hz . . . 24. 0 kHz Sets the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter applied to the excitation signal. q Pulse Width ¯ 0. 0 . . . 99. 2 % Sets the pulse width of the excitation signal. Higher values produce a broader pulse width. 50% s 50% Pulse Width at 50% Pulse Width 70% s 30% Pulse Width at 70% Pulse Width q VlSns to Lvl ¯ 0 . . . 16 EDIT Sets the sensitivity of excitation signal level to keyboard velocity. Higher values produce a greater variation in excitation signal level in response to keyboard velocity. q VlSns to LPF ¯ 0 . . . 16 Sets the sensitivity of the excitation signal low pass filter cutoff frequency to keyboard velocity. Higher values produce a greater variation in filter cutoff frequency in response to keyboard velocity. q VlSns to PW ¯ -16 . . . 16 Sets the sensitivity of excitation signal pulse width to keyboard velocity.
