Chapter 3 Learning the Basics

Scenes

The VP1’s innovative “scene” capabilities enable you to obtain a high level of dynamic control over sound and

sound changes during your performance.

What is a Scene?

A scene is a memorized set of controller positions. Once you have stored a scene to

memory, you can recall it at any time by pressing the corresponding SCENE button.

Or you can use the SCENE CONTROLLER to fade seamlessly between adjacent

scenes.

Each scene consists of memorized positions for most of the controllers listed on the

previous page. The controllers excluded from the scene are: velocity, pitch wheel,

touch EG, foot volume, and sustain and portamento switches.

By way of explanation, assume that you like the sound you get when controllers are set

as shown below.

You can save these controller settings by calling the Scene function and storing them

as a scene. (➝ REFERENCE: 1-14) The VP1 allows you to store up to three scenes. In

this case, let’s assume that you store this configuration as Scene 3.

Now that you have stored the scene, you can proceed to operate the controllers any

way you like, then instantly call the scene back at any time by pressing

SCENE3

. But

notice that while pressing the button immediately restores the memorized controller

settings, it does not change the current physical position of the controllers. In other

words, a discrepancy arises between the physical and internal controller settings. To

learn how this is resolved, refer to the section on the Controller Hook function, below.

(➝ BASICS: 3-14)

Once you have stored three different sets of controller settings, you can call them back

at any time by pressing the

SCENE1

SCENE2

, and

SCENE3

buttons.

FYI

• Although the scene does not record the pitch wheel’s pitch setting, it does record the value of

any other parameter that may be assigned to the pitch wheel. It also records the aftertouch

component of the touch-EG data.
