The Velocity controls
Velocity is used for controlling various parameters according to how hard or soft you
play notes on your keyboard. A typical use of velocity control is to make sounds
brighter and louder if you strike a key harder. By using the knobs in this section, you
can control how much the various parameters will be affected by velocity.
! All of the velocity control knobs are bi-polar, which means that the
amount can be set to either positive or negative values, while keeping
the knobs in the center position means that no velocity control is ap-
plied.
The following parameters can be velocity controlled:
D Lvl:A
This lets you velocity control the output level of osc:A.
D Lvl:B
This lets you velocity control the output level of osc:B.
D F.env
This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Amount parameter. Positive values
will increase the envelope amount the harder you play, and negative values will de-
crease the amount.
D Atk (attack)
This sets velocity control for the Amp Envelope Attack parameter of osc:A and/or
osc:B. Positive values will increase the Attack time the harder you play, and nega-
tive values will decrease it.
D Shift
This lets you velocity control the Shift parameter of osc:A and/or osc:B.
D Mod
This lets you velocity control all modulation amounts of mod:A and/or mod:B.
! Note that you can set the last three parameters (Atk, Shift and Mod) to
be velocity controlled for either or both of oscillator/modulator A and B.
This is done with the A/B selector switch.
The Modulation wheel controls
The Modulation wheel can be set to control a number of parameters. You can set pos-
itive or negative values, just like in the Velocity Control section (see above).
The following parameters can be affected by the modulation wheel:
D Index
This sets modulation wheel control of the currently active graintable’s index (see
page 126) for osc:A and/or osc:B. Positive values will move the index position for-
wards if the modulation wheel is pushed forward. Negative values will move it
backwards.
D Shift
This sets modulation wheel control of the Shift parameter of osc:A and/or osc:B
(see page 126).
D Filter
This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter Frequency
parameter (see page 129). Positive values will raise the frequency if the
wheel is pushed forward and negative values will lower the frequency.
D Mod
This sets modulation wheel control of the total amount of modulation from mod:A
and/or mod:B. Positive values will increase the settings if the wheel is pushed for-
ward and negative values will decrease the settings.
! You can set whether these parameters on either or both oscillator/mod-
ulator/filter A and B will be affected by the modulation wheel. This is
done with the A/B selector switch.
