4: P–PITCH 4–2: MOD (Modulation)
15
Bend (–) [–60...+12]
Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitone units that occurs
when you move the pitch bend wheel toward yourself (or when a
pitch bend message with a value of -1 or lower is received). For
normal pitch bend, set this to a negative value.
For example with a setting of –60, moving the pitch bend wheel
toward yourself will lower the pitch of the notes you've played, by
up to five octaves.
Pitch Slope [–1.0...+2.0]
Normally, this should be set to the default of +1.0.
Pitch Slope, pitch, and note
Positive (+) values cause the pitch to rise as you play higher on the
keyboard, and negative (–) values cause the pitch to fall as you
play higher on the keyboard.
When this is set to 0, playing different notes on the keyboard won’t
change the pitch at all; it will be as if you’re always playing C4.
This can be useful for special effects sounds, for instance.
Ribbon (#16) [–12...+12]
Specify in semitones how the pitch will change when CC#16 is
received.
With a positive (+) setting, the pitch will rise when the value of
CC#16 is higher than the center value of 64. With a negative (–)
setting, the pitch will fall.
AMS (Pitch) [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to control the pitch. For a list of AMS
sources, please see “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) List” on
page 292.
Intensity [–12.00...+12.00]
This controls the depth and direction of the pitch modulation, in
semitones.
For example if you set AMS (Pitch) to M.Wheel #01 and then
move the modulation wheel away from yourself, the pitch will rise
if this parameter is set to a positive (+) value, or fall if this
parameter is set to a negative (–) value.
4–2: MOD (Modulation)
You can set up initial amounts of pitch modulation from the Pitch
EG and LFO1/2, as well as AMS modulation of LFO and EG
amounts.
OSC (Oscillator Select) [1, 2]
Select the oscillator (1 or 2) that you want to edit.
Note: Oscillator 2 can be selected if Oscillator Mode is set to
Double.
EG
EG Intensity [–12.00...+12.00]
This controls the initial effect of the Pitch EG on Oscillator 1’s
frequency, in half-steps, before any AMS modulation.
The Pitch EG’s shape can swing all the way from +99 to –99.
When the Intensity is set to a positive (+) value, positive values
from the EG raise the pitch, and negative values lower the pitch.
When the Intensity is set to a negative (–) value, the effect of the
EG is reversed; positive EG values mean lower pitches, and
negative EG values mean higher pitches.
AMS (Pitch EG) [List of AMS Sources]
This selects any AMS modulation source to scale the amount of
the Pitch EG.
For a list of AMS sources, please see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 292.
AMS Intensity [–12.00...+12.00]
This controls the depth and direction of the pitch EG AMS
modulation. The AMS modulation and the initial Intensity are
added together to determine the Pitch EG’s final effect.
With positive (+) values, greater modulation will increase the
effect of the Pitch EG, as shown in example B below.
With negative (–) values, greater modulation will introduce the
opposite effect of the Pitch EG–like inverting the polarity of the
envelope. You can use this in several different ways:
• You can set an initial positive amount with the Intensity
parameter, and then reduce this amount with AMS. In this case,
the final effect of the EG is simply diminished, and not actually
inverted, as shown in example C.
• You can also set the AMS Intensity amount to be greater than
the initial Intensity. In this case, the EG will have a positive
effect with low modulation amounts, and an inverted effect at
higher modulation amounts as shown in example D.
