Menu: Program/Synth/Model
Parameter: Breath
Value Range: 0 – 100%
This is the volume parameter for the Model. This simulates the strength
of the player’s breath which can excite the model and produce different
timbres.
Menu: Program/Synth/Model
Parameter: Noise
Value Range: 0 – 100%
This parameter adds in white noise to simulate the natural sound of the
wind blowing into the mouthpiece. In general, a small amount of white
noise gives your instrument more realism.
Menu: Program/Synth/Model
Parameter: Jet
Value Range: -12 to +12 Semitones
The “jet” parameter determines the frequency of the harmonic
component of the mouthpiece’s tone.
Menu: Program/Synth/Model
Parameter: Curve
Value Range: -100% to +100%
This parameter affects the tonal character of the mouthpiece and
contributes to the attack of the sound.
Menu: Program/Synth/Model
Parameter: Offset
Value Range: -100 to +100
This parameter adjusts the tonal interaction between the mouthpiece and
the bore.
The “Jet,” “Curve,” and “Offset,”
parameters are used to model the
mouthpiece of the instrument.
The “Breath” and “Noise” parameters are
used to model the act of blowing into the
instrument.
