SETTING AMPLITUDE MODULATION FOR KEYGROUPS
We have seen how we can set the program’s master output level and how we can use
controllers to modulate the output level. It is also possible to modulate individual keygroups’
loudness. This is done in this screen:
The default assignment is VELOCITY and you can individually increase or reduce a keygroups
sensitivity to velocity if you wish. This is useful in programs such as drums and percussion
where you may want some drums to be more or less sensitive to velocity. For example, you
may want you bass drum to be fairly solid and insensitive to velocity but you may want the snare
drum(s) to be very sensitive to velocity of pressed rolls, etc.. Similarly, you may want the hi-hats
to be very sensitive to velocity.
By moving the cursor to the VELOCITY field, it is also possible to assign a different controller to
this input. For example, you may route LFO2 to it so that a keygroup could have a tremolando
effect. By routing MODWHEEL to this input, layering two keygroups and setting one keygroup
to +50 and the other to -50, you can use the modwheel to crossfade between two keygroups
(as an example, one keygroup could have a strings sound and the other a choir sound and you
could crossfade between them in real-time as a performance parameter). There are many
possibilities.
