Model Size
Key track
Model Size Key track determines how
keyboard transposition affects the size
of the model.
Value range: -64 to +63.
0 = the size of the model remains the
same across the entire keyboard.
Positive values: Notes above the root key
reduce the size of the model, notes
below the root key enlarge it.
Negative values: Notes below the root
key reduce the size of the model, notes
above the root key enlarge it.
Good-to-know background stuff:
Neuron’s approach to transposing models
differs from that of a sampler or ROMpler
(a synthesizer featuring sample playback
or sample ROM). While in a sampler not
only the pitch but also the apparent
sample size changes in accordance with
the played note, the size of a Neuron
model remains largely unchanged when
it is transposed. This yields a more
natural, organic sound.

Table 7: Resynator parameters (cont.)
When working with multi-models
(models derived from a multisample and
consisting of several scape/sphere
pairs), an audible jump or gap in the
soundscape may occur because virtually
every zone brings its own model size to
the sonic equation.
You can counter this effect by taking
advantage of the model size key tracking
parameter and, if necessary, the model
size offset parameter (see the next line
of the table).
When you enter a suitable setting,
Neuron transposes much like a sampler.
The model size can even be inverted in
relation to pitch if you enter negative
values, which makes for interesting
effects.
Model size key track and offset cannot be
modulated! In order to change the size
of the model on the fly, you must
modulate the given model parameter
directly (usually this will be sphere level
1). All modulation sources and
controllers may be used for this purpose.
