yellow tools INDEPENDENCE 1.0

Manual

In MIDI sequencing, portamento can be generated by using a channel message that creates a sliding

effect by smoothly changing pitch from the last note played to the pitch of the currently playing

note. Additionally Independence allows to use also other destinations beside „pitch“ what can be

very useful and also sounds quite interesting.

The available „glide“ parameters of Independence are:

Legato button:

If activated, the „glide“ function is only used if two or more played notes overlap each other.

Time:

Assigns the time for the change from one note to the next.

Chromatic button:

If you activate this button, the distance between the played note to the next gets calculated and the

time of your „glide“ gets extended accordingly.

EXAMPLE: Your current time for the „glide“ is set to 100ms. If you now activate the

„chromatic“ button and ﬁrst play C3 and afterwards D#3, the new calculated

time for the glide will be 300ms.

Key Limit:

Here you can limit the „chromatic“ parameter and assign the maximum considered distance range

for two successively played notes.

If you set this value to 5 semitones, for example, the recalculated time for the glide will never be

larger than these 5 semitones, even if the effective distance between the two played notes may be

larger than 5 semitones.

Curve:

Self-explanatory ;-)

Insert FX

In the right upper corner of the Flexible Modiﬁer Editor there is an additional „insert FX“ button.

When activated the internal Flexible Modiﬁer window will change to the insert effects page. Here

you can assign all available insert ﬁlters and effects of Independence also to any Layer, Section or

Alternate - completely independent from the insert FX settings in your Mixer page. In contrast to the

Mixer (these insert FX settings only get saved in Projects) all the insert FX settings of the Modules

page automatically get saved in you Layer patch and thus are available immediately after reloading

the Layer at a later date.

The functionality and operation of this „insert FX“ section corresponds to the operation in the Mixer

page. Since Independence contains very extensive insert ﬁlters and effects please refer to chapter

„Insert Filters and Effects“ on page 123 for all further details.
