- Move the cursor under the “Pan” setting, and use
the Value control to decrease the pan to L6.
- Move the cursor under the Channel. Use the
Value control to increase the Channel number to
Channel 3.
- On to Channel 3! So far we have a Bass sound
panned to the Left from the Low A to the C an
octave below middle C, and a Vibraphone sound
panned to the right above that. Let’s add a
synthesizer sound that fades in a perfect fifth
above the note played as the Vibraphone fades
out, and features portamento, or glide, in between
the notes. Further more this layer will only come in
when the piano is played with more velocity.
- Move the cursor underneath the name of the
sound. Use the Value control to scroll through the
sounds until you reach “Warm Pad”.
- Move the cursor underneath “Zone” and press
Enter. Play the D flat below middle C and the
highest note on the piano simultaneously and then
press Escape.
- Move the cursor back to “Midi: int” and press
Enter – page 2 of Channel Setup will now be
displayed.
- Move the cursor under the Velocity curve. Use the
Value Control to advance to the 6
th
Velocity curve
( _/ ) which means this sound will begin to be
heard at medium velocities.
- Move the cursor to the Transpose setting. Use the
Value control to increase the number displayed to
+7. This makes the sound pitched 7 semitones, or
a perfect fifth, higher than the note played.
- Press Escape to return to the Edit menu
- Finally, we will add portamento to Channel 3’s
“Warm Pad” with the Controllers function – this will
require programming two MIDI CC messages.
Move the cursor underneath the Controller function
and press Enter.
- Move the cursor next to A#. Use the Value control
to increase the number displayed to 65. This is the
MIDI CC number for turning portamento in or off.
- Advance the cursor to the Value. Use the Value
control to increase the MIDI CC value to 64. This is
the Value that turns portamento on.
