Pitch Parameters
Glide
Glide, also known as portamento, determines the
amount of time it takes for a pitch to glide from
the current note to the next note played. This ef-
fect is commonly found on synthesizers.
Glide is adjustable from a low of 0.0% (no glide)
to a high of 100% (maximum glide). A setting of
100% will take the longest time to travel from
the current note to the next note played. The ef-
fect is also dependent on the interval (distance
of pitch) between the two notes: The larger the
interval, the more noticeable the effect.
Bend Range
Bend Range sets the maximum interval of pitch
bend that can be applied to Bruno with a MIDI
controller’s pitch bend wheel. This parameter is
adjustable from 0 semitones (no bend) to 12
semitones (1 octave).
Master Tune
Master Tune can be used to tune the pitch of
Bruno’s output to another instrument. By de-
fault, this parameter is set to 440.0 Hz It can be
adjusted from a low of 430.0 Hz to a high of
450.0 Hz.
Detune Amount
Detuning is a common sound-thickening tech-
nique used on synthesizers and many effects de-
vices. Bruno’s Detune Amount parameter sets
the maximum amount of pitch detuning that
occurs when multiple voices are stacked to-
gether using Voice Stacking. Using a combina-
tion of voice stacking and detuning, you can
create timbres that are exceptionally fat.
Voices can be detuned up to 50.0 cents. (One
cent is equal to 1/100th of a semitone.)
Detune Velocity
Detune Velocity controls how MIDI key velocity
affects voice detuning. This parameter gives you
velocity-sensitive control over voice detuning
when you play Bruno with a MIDI keyboard.
This parameter is adjustable from a low of
0.0 cents (no velocity-sensitive detuning) to a
high of 50.0 cents (maximum velocity-sensitive
detuning).
If Detune Velocity is set to 0.0 cents, detuning
will not change no matter how hard you strike a
key on your MIDI controller. Conversely, if you
set Detune Velocity to 50.0 cents, a hard strike
will detune voices a maximum of 50.0 cents (in
addition to the detuning specified with the De-
tune Amount parameter).
Pitch parameters
Detune Velocity has an effect only when
you play Bruno with a velocity-sensitive
MIDI controller.
