Edit Mode

“Lower Depth” parameter is not available when the “Mode” parameter, below, is set

to “Minimum Base”.

●

Mode

≤ Center Base, Minimum Base.

Selects the controller value (position) which will produce “normal” embouchure.

When set to “Center Base” a central controller position will produce normal embou-

chure, allowing both downward and upward variation. A setting of “Minimum Base”

will produce normal embouchure when the controller is set to its minimum position,

allowing only upward variation.

Element Controller

3: Pitch

• 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.

Controller

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

The “Pitch” parameter changes the length of the air column or string, and thereby

the pitch of the sound. The “Controller” parameter specifies the controller to be used

for pitch control. When set to “off” no pitch variation is produced.

• The actual pitch value applied to the VL1-m tone generator is a mix of the

pitch value from the controller and that from the embouchure and pitch

envelopes (≥ Page 130).

• For the same type of simple pitch control available in conventional synthesiz-

ers, assign only the Pitch parameter to controller you intend to use for pitch

control (normally the pitch bend wheel). For more natural, realistic pitch bend

effects, it is sometimes effective to assign both the Pitch and Embouchure

parameters to the same controller.
