Parameter Descriptions

• Keyboard Rate Scaling

Range: 0 ... 7

This determines how the Rate times of the EG respond to keyboard position. In other

words, this lets you automatically speed up or slow down the overall EG time (Rate 1 - 4)

of individual operators depending on which range of the keyboard you play. This param-

eter controls the degree of scaling; a value of “0” produces no scaling, and higher values

produce a more pronounced scaling effect. For values other than “0,” the higher the note

played, the shorter its overall EG time.

Keyboard Rate Scaling is useful for simulating the natural scaling found on many acous-

tic instruments — for example, as on an acoustic piano, on which higher notes decay

more quickly than lower notes.

Operator Parameters

These parameters let you set the Output Level and Velocity Sensitivity for each

operator.

• Operator Output Level

Range: 0 ... 99

This determines the level of each operator. The setting made here affects the workings

of many other parameters. For example, Feedback, EG Level 1 - 4, and Velocity Sensi-

tivity may have little or no audible effect if Output Level is set too low. On the other hand,

Keyboard Level Scaling settings may have little or no effect if Output Level is set too high.

When applied to a carrier operator, this affects the volume of the voice; when applied to a

modulator, it affects the timbre.

About Operator On/Off Controls

Each operator can be independently turned on and off during editing — an important

tool in hearing the effects of your edits. For example, you may want to temporarily

mute one carrier operator to better hear the edits you are making on another carrier.

Or you may want to turn an operator alternately on and off to hear how its presence

and absence affects the overall sound.
