Choir Size
This control
allows you
to select the
number of
individual
voices that will be generated from the input
or harmony voice. The choices are 2, 4, and 8
voices.
Vibrato
The Vibrato control allows you to select
the range of variation in vibrato depth
applied to the generated voices. Each
voice is individually assigned a vibrato
variation relative to the original voice.
The higher the value of this control, the
greater the possible vibrato variation.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the
control to reset it to its default value of 30.
Pitch
The Pitch control lets you select the range
of the random variation in pitch applied
to each generated voice. Each voice is
individually assigned a pitch variation
relative to the original voice. The higher
the value of this control, the larger the
maximum amount of allowable variation.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the control
to reset it to its default value of 30.
Timing
The Timing control lets you select the range
of the random variation in timing applied to
each generated voice. Each voice is individually
assigned a timing variation relative to the
original voice. The higher the value of this
control, the larger the maximum amount of
allowable variation.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the control
to reset it to its default value of 100.
Stereo Spread
This control selects the extent to which the
generated voices are spread across the stereo
spectrum. At a setting of 0, all of the voices
appear in the center of the stereo soundstage.
As the value is increased, the voices spread
out from the center until, at the maximum
value, they appear across the entire stereo
soundstage.
The Stereo Spread display provides an at-a-
glance indication of the Stereo Spread setting.
NOTE: When CHOIR is active on
a voice, the voice’s Pan control
essentially acts as a stereo balance
control. That is, the selected number of CHOIR
voices are spread across the stereo spectrum
per the Stereo Spread control, and the voice’s
Pan control sets the balance between the left
and right outputs. In that way you can, if you
desire, still provide positional cues for a voice’s
CHOIR “section” on the stereo soundstage.
A RELATED NOTE: There is a special
case of the above when CHOIR is
set to 2 Voices and the Stereo Spread
set to maximum spread (i.e., 100). In that case,
one of the two CHOIR voices is hard-panned
right and the other hard-panned left. If you then
set the voice’s Pan control to the extreme left
or right, you will end up hearing only the single
CHOIR voice that’s assigned to that output. So
you probably don’t want to do that.
Stereo Spread is only available in Stereo or
Mono->Stereo modes.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the control
to reset it to its default value of 100.
