Global Parameters
The Global Parameters are found in the lower-left portion of the EVD6 Graphical User
Interface (GUI).
Voices
The voices parameter allows you to set the maximum number of voices that can sound
simultaneously. Lowering the value of this parameter limits the polyphony and also the
processing requirements of the EVD6. Minimal CPU power is used when the instrument
is operated monophonically. There are two monophonic settings: mono and legato.
Each setting provides only one voice for playing the EVD6. In the mono setting, the
EVD6 voice is triggered each time a key is pressed. In the legato mode, the EVD6 sound
shaping processes is not triggered if the notes are played legato—only the pitch
changes. If the notes are played staccato, an EVD6 voice with all sound shaping
processes is triggered. The maximum setting is 24, allowing for sustained glissandi. A
setting of 24 will, of course, be more processor-intensive. 10 is the default. Click-hold,
and use your mouse as a slider to adjust.
Tune
The global Tune setting works in cent steps. A value of 0 equals concert-pitch A 440 Hz.
The range is ±50 cents or, in more musical” terms, plus/minus half a semitone. For
transpositions in semitone or octave steps, please use the Instrument Parameter box in
the Arrange window, as per any standard MIDI instrument. Click-hold, and use your
mouse as a slider to adjust.
Bender
This parameter determines the bend range, in semitone steps. Click-hold, and use your
mouse as a slider to adjust.
