5: Tonguing

• 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 “Tonguing” parameter simulates the half-tonguing technique used by saxo-

phone players by changing the “slit” of the reed. The slit is the space between the tip of

the reed and the mouthpiece. The “Controller” parameter specifies the controller to

be used for tonguing control. When set to “off” no tonguing is applied.

• Please note that accurate keyboard pitch is produced only when maximum

tonguing is applied or the tonguing controller is turned off.

●

Depth

≤ -127 … 127.

Sets the amount of variation produced by the controller assigned to tonguing. The

higher the value the greater the variation. Positive values cause a decrease in tonguing in

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

wheel position), while minus values cause an increase in tonguing in response to higher

controller values. The “Depth” setting is reflected in the graph to the right of the param-

eters — the horizontal axis represents the controller value and the vertical axis represents

tonguing.

●

Curve

≤ -16 … 16.

Determines the relationship between the controller value and tonguing. When set to

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

sponding change in tonguing. 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 relatively little effect.

The “Curve” setting is reflected in the graph to the right of the parameters — the

horizontal axis represents the controller value and the vertical axis represents tonguing.
