Density
This determines the density of the controller curves sent out. The
value can be set in ticks (1/480ths of quarter notes), or as rhythmically
exact note values (by clicking the arrow buttons next to the value). The
higher the note value, the smoother the controller curve. For example,
if you set this to 60 (shown as “32th”) a new controller event will be
sent out every 60th tick (at every 1/32 note position).
You should probably avoid extremely low Density values, as these will
generate a very large number of events (which may cause the MIDI in-
strument to “choke”, delaying notes etc.).
AmpMod
This is only used for the two waveforms with “periodical envelopes”
(see above). The period value (set in beats) determines the length of
the envelope. In the following figure, Period is set to 4th and the Amp-
Mod is 4 beats. This results in a quarter note-based curve in which the
top amplitude decreases gradually, repeated each bar:
Controller
Determines which Continuous Controller type is sent out. Typical
choices would include pan, volume and brightness but your MIDI in-
strument may have controllers mapped to various settings, allowing
you to modulate the synth parameter of your choice – check the MIDI
implementation chart for your instrument for details!
Min and Max
These determine the minimum and maximum controller values sent
out, i.e. the “bottom” and “top” of the controller curves.
