VELOC — Velocity
Velocity means how hard you strike a key. Selecting VELOC as a Modulator
allows you to modulate any manual level with velocity. Velocity as a
modulation source only goes positive (though assigning a negative modulation
amount will make the level reduce with increased velocity).
KEYBD — Keyboard Tracking
This uses the position of a note on the keyboard as a modulator. The scaling
effect of this Modulator is figured over the full 128 MIDI key numbers:
61 -note synthesizer keyboard
88-note piano keyboard
MIDI Key numbers 0-127
As the above illustration shows, the effect of KEYBD as a modulator goes
negative as well as positive. The effect of KEYBD is to reduce the Level on
notes below the break point (Middle C, MIDI Key #), and increase levels above
that point. Negative Modulation depths will do the opposite.
TIMBRE — Timbre Control
This is a special modulator, unique to ENSONIQ, which is intended as an
"extra" real-time performance controller (MIDI Controller #71). TIMBRE can
be assigned like any other modulator wherever a modulation source is selected.
A parameter in the Mix bank selects the TIMBRE amount.
PEDAL — Voltage Control Foot Pedal
This selects the optional CVP-1 Foot Pedal, which can be plugged into the
Pedal/CV jack on the SQ-R rear panel, as a modulator. Its effect will be the
same as that of a mod wheel. It can be applied wherever a Modulator is
selected.
