SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER
114
The following parameters can be velocity controlled:
Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels
The Pitch Bend wheel is used for “bending” notes, like bending the strings on a
guitar. The Modulation wheel can be used to apply various modulation while you
are playing. Virtually all MIDI keyboards have Pitch Bend and Modulation con-
trols. Subtractor features not only the settings for how incoming MIDI Pitch
Bend and Modulation wheel messages should affect the sound. Subtractor also
has two functional wheels that could be used to apply real time modulation and
pitch bend should you not have these controllers on your keyboard, or if you
aren’t using a keyboard at all. The Subtractor wheels mirror the movements of
the MIDI keyboard controllers.
Pitch Bend Range
The Range parameter sets the amount of pitch bend when the wheel is turned
fully up or down. The maximum range is “24” (=up/down 2 Octaves).

Amp This let’s you velocity control the overall volume of the sound. If a
positive value is set, the volume will increase the harder you
strike a key. A negative value inverts this relationship, so that the
volume decreases if you play harder, and increases if you play
softer. If set to zero, the sound will play at a constant volume, re-
gardless of how hard or soft you play.
FM This sets velocity control for the FM Amount parameter. A posi-
tive value will increase the FM amount the harder you play. Neg-
ative values invert this relationship.
M. Env This sets velocity control for the Mod Envelope Amount parame-
ter. A positive value will increase the envelope amount the harder
you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
Phase This sets velocity control for the Phase Offset parameter. This
applies to both Osc 1 & 2, but the relative offset values are re-
tained. A positive value will increase the phase offset the harder
you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
Freq 2 This sets velocity control for the Filter 2 Frequency parameter. A
positive value will increase the filter frequency the harder you
play. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Env This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Amount parame-
ter. A positive value will increase the envelope amount the harder
you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Dec This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Decay parame-
ter. A positive value will increase the Decay time the harder you
play. Negative values invert this relationship.
Osc Mix This sets velocity control for the Osc Mix parameter. A positive
value will increase the Osc 2 Mix amount the harder you play.
Negative values invert this relationship.
A. Attack This sets velocity control for the Amp Envelope Attack parame-
ter. A positive value will increase the Attack time the harder you
play. Negative values invert this relationship.
