CHAPTER 22. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 349
Spread  If Spread is turned up, the synthesizer uses two detuned voices per note, one
each on the left and right stereo channels, to create chorusing sounds. Spread is a very
CPU-intensive effect.
Transpose  This is the global transposition setting for the instrument. Changing this pa-
rameter will affect notes that are already playing.
Pitch Bend Range (PB Range)  This denes the effect of MIDI pitch bend messages.
Pitch Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel)  This parameter exists for lter, pitch, LFO and
volume envelopes. It is therefore listed in the section on envelopes.
Glide (G)  With Glide on, notes will slide from the pitch of the last played note to their
played pitch. Note that all envelopes are not retriggered in this case if notes are being
played legato.
Glide Time (Time)  This is the time it takes for a note to slide from the pitch of the last
played note to its nal pitch when Glide is activated. This setting has no effect if Glide is
not activated.
Pitch Envelope to Osc (Destination A-D)  The pitch envelope affects the frequency of the
respective oscillator if this is tur ned on.
Pitch Envelope to LFO (Destination LFO)  The pitch envelope affects the frequency of the
LFO if this is turned on.
Filter Shell and Display
Filter On  This turns the lter on and off. Turning it off when it is unused saves CPU power.
Filter Type  Lowpass, bandpass and highpass are second order lters with resonance. Their
names imply the part of the spectrum they affect. The notch lter passes everything apart
from its center frequency and is more audible with low resonance settings. The 24 dB lter
modes attenuate the ltered frequencies to a much greater degree than the 12 dB modes.
Filter Frequency (Freq)  This denes the center or cutoff frequency of the lter. Note that
the resulting frequency may also be modulated by note velocity and by the lter envelope.
Filter Resonance (Res)  This denes the resonance around the lter frequency of the lowpass
and highpass lters, and the width of the bandpass and notch lters.
