8: Breath Noise

• The § and ¶ buttons (“Bpag” and “Fpag”) can be used to go directly

backward or forward to the next Element Controller page without having to

return to the directory.

• The • button (“Para”) can be used to go directly to the Breath Noise

parameter page (≥ Page 86), also available from the ELEMENT MISCEL-

LANEOUS directory. You can then return to the controller Breath Noise page

by pressing • (“Ctrl”) again.

Controller

≤ off, Modulation Wheel … Touch EG (124 settings).

The “Breath Noise” parameter can be used to add the required amount of breath

noise to a voice. The sound of the breath noise itself can be varied over a wide range

using the Breath Noise parameters — accessible from this page by pressing the •

button, or from the ELEMENT MISCELLANEOUS directory. The “Controller”

parameter specifies the controller to be used for breath noise control. When set to “off”

no breath noise variation can be produced, but an absolute breath noise value can be set

via the “Value” parameter, below.

●

Depth

≤ -127 … 127.

Sets the amount of variation produced by the controller assigned to breath noise.

The higher the value the greater the variation. Positive values cause an increase in breath

noise in response to higher controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or higher

modulation wheel position), while minus values cause a decrease in breath noise in

response to higher controller values. The “Depth” setting is reflected in the graph to the

right of the parameters — the horizontal axis represents the controller value and the

vertical axis represents breath noise.

●

Curve

≤ -16 … 16.

Determines the relationship between the controller value and breath noise. When set

to “0” the relationship is linear. That is, a change in the controller value produces a

corresponding change in breath noise. As the curve value increases the lower end of the

controller range has relatively little effect on the sound while higher controller values

produce more dramatic changes. Negative curve values have the opposite effect: the

sound changes dramatically at low controller values while higher values produce rela-
