Morpheus Operation Manual142
STEP-BY-STEP
• Coarse Tuning
This function is related to transpose and in fact, the two work well
together in the creation of new timbres. A little background: Transpose
works by shifting the keyboard assignment of the samples (as if you
were sliding the keyboard up and down). Coarse Tuning keeps the
keyboard sample placement constant and actually tunes the samples
up. With multisampled instruments such as a piano, the timbre can
change dramatically using coarse tuning. (A multisampled sound is one
that contains multiple samples placed at various points on the keyboard.)
To hear this effect, first Coarse Tune the guitar up one octave (+12),
then Transpose it down one octave (-12). The pitch remains the same,
but what a difference in the tone! (You may want to turn the Piano
instrument Off to make it easier to hear the guitar.)

• Fine Tuning
The Fine Tune control is related to the coarse tuning, but has a range of
one semitone. When both primary and secondary instruments are the
same, detuning one of the instruments slightly will create a “fat” sound
useful for strings or ensemble effects.

In preparation for the next experiment, let's clean the slate. Since we
haven't SAVED the preset yet, any changes you made will be lost as
soon as you change the preset. Do that now. Simply press the Preset Edit
button extinguishing the LED, dial momentarily to another preset and
then go back to the ‘-defPreset-’. Now everything is erased. Set the
primary
instrument to I005 Spectrum Pad, press Home/Enter, then slowly turn
the data entry knob until you find the screen shown below.
