no key input is used, the dynamics of the source
audio will trigger switching. If a key input is
used, the dynamics of the key input signal will
trigger switching. Threshold-based switching
can be used at the same time as Key Input-based
switching.
MIDI Clock Triggers switching in sync with a
MIDI beat clock signal. This creates a very regu-
lar, highly rhythmic wave sequencing effect
that is ideal for sessions arranged around MIDI
beat clock. This parameter can be set to quarter,
eighth, or sixteenth notes, or dotted triplet val-
ues of the same.
Timbrometer
This multicolor waveform display shows the
amplitude and duration of the audio signal gen-
erated by Bruno as well as the frequency of tim-
bral changes and whether they are crossfaded or
switched.
Red and blue waveform segments indicate tim-
bral changes that are crossfaded. Green wave-
form segments indicate timbral changes that are
hard switched.
Amplitude Parameters
Gain Amount
Gain Amount attenuates output level gain.
Since some of Bruno’s parameters can cause ex-
treme changes in signal level, this is particularly
useful for preventing clipping and achieving
unity gain with the original signal level. This pa-
rameter is adjustable from a low of –96 dB (no
gain) to a high of 0.0 dB (maximum gain).
Gain Velocity
Gain Velocity sets the velocity sensitivity of the
Gain Amount parameter. This gives you touch-
sensitive control over Bruno’s volume using a
MIDI keyboard.
This parameter is adjustable from a low of
–24 dB (maximum velocity sensitivity) to a high
of 0.0 dB (no velocity sensitivity).
If you set Gain Velocity to –24 dB, a soft strike
on a key will reduce gain up to –24 dB. A hard
strike will have a maximum output level equal
to the current dB setting of the Gain Amount
parameter.
For quick numeric entry of MIDI beat clock
values, type “4,” “8,” or “16” for quarter
notes, eight notes, or sixteenth notes. Add
“t” for triplets, or “d” for dotted note values.
Typing “4t” for example, enters a quarter
note triplet value. Typing “16d” enters a
dotted sixteenth note value.
