IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to accessories and/or another product use only high quality shielded cables. [. . . ] Negative values lower the pitch, and positive values raise the pitch at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is chosen, the actual pitch will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the pitch varies smoothly between the breakpoints. 93 Feature Reference q Edit Mode 3-2: Throat Formant Amount Key Scalling Throat formant amount key scaling produces natural throat formant variations across the range of the keyboard by allowing different amount offset values to be applied to each of four breakpoints set at appropriate keys. · The § and ¶ buttons ("Bpag" and "Fpag") can be used to go directly backward or forward to the next throat formant key scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page. q Amount -64 . . . 63. The "Amount" parameter is linked to the main throat formant "Amount" parameter, and determines the amount of effect the throat formant sound has on the air velocity within the instrument. Positive values increase the air velocity, thereby increasing the throat formant effect. Minus values decrease the air velocity, producing a more subtle throat formant effect. This value also determines the main amount value on which all key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph). q Breakpoint 1 . . . G8. Allows four separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2 and G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use any of the normal data entry procedures, or use a keyboard. To use a keyboard for breakpoint entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press the · button ("Kbd"), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint while "Kbd" appears in inverse characters. No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left. q Breakpoint 1 . . . 63. Set the amount offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the breakpoint key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the amount, and positive values increase the amount at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset value is chosen, the actual amount will never exceed its minimum or maximum absolute value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the amount varies smoothly between the breakpoints. 94 Feature Reference q Edit Mode 3-3: Throat Formant Intensity Key Scalling Throat formant intensity key scaling produces natural throat formant intensity variations across the range of the keyboard by allowing different intensity offset values to be applied to each of four breakpoints set at appropriate keys. Element Miscellaneous · The § and ¶ buttons ("Bpag" and "Fpag") can be used to go directly backward or forward to the next throat formant key scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page. q Intens -127 . . . 127. The "Intens" parameter is linked to the main throat formant "Intens" parameter, and sets the intensity of the throat formant effect. Higher values in both the positive and negative ranges increase the intensity of the throat formant effect. This value also determines the main intensity value on which all key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph). q Breakpoint 1 . . . G8. Allows four separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2 and G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use any of the normal data entry procedures, or use a keyboard. To use a keyboard for breakpoint entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press the · button ("Kbd"), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint while "Kbd" appears in inverse characters. No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left. q Breakpoint 1 . . .
