Aftertouch Source
[O, Channel, Poly, Channel+Poly]
is lets you instantly re-congure the synth to take advantage of controllers with Poly Aertouch.
O: All aertouch will be ignored.
Channel: e mod source “Aertouch” receives Channel Aertouch. Poly Aertouch can still be used via the dedicated
Poly AT mod source.
Poly: e mod source “Aertouch” receives Poly Aertouch. Channel Aertouch is ignored.
Channel+Poly: e mod source “Aertouch” receives both Channel and Poly Aertouch. If both are sent
simultaneously, the most recent value is used.
SST Hold Time
[0 ms…60 sec]
is controls the duration of Smooth Sound Transitions. It sets how long reverbs, delays, and note releases continue
to ring out aer a new sound has been selected. e timer starts aer all notes from the previous sound are no longer
being held down, and the sustain pedal is released.
Transpose
[Transposes Scale, Within Scale]
is parameter determines how the Performance and Program Transpose parameters interact with the Scale and Key.
Within Scale means that transposition uses intervals within the current scale. is option works well if you are using
non-equal-tempered scales and want to build parallel intervals (such as “fat hs”) into your sounds. For example, let’s
say that you are using Just Intonation in the key of C. If you transpose one of the Programs up by 7 semitones and play a
C, the result will be two notes: C, and G 2 cents sharp (the Just Intonation h).
Transposes Scale means that the Scale’s Key changes to match the transposition. is option is useful if you play in non-
equal-tempered scales and transpose entire songs—to accommodate singers, for example. In other words, let’s say that
the Key is set to C, and the third note of the scale (E) is 50 cents at. If you transpose up by 2 semitones, and play an E,
the result will be an F# 50 cents at—still the third note of the scale.
Master Tune
[–50 (427.47Hz)…+50 (452.89Hz)]
is adjusts the overall tuning in one-cent units, over a range of ±50 cents. (A cent is 1/100 of a semitone.) At the
default of 0, A4 = 440 Hz.
e value shown for A4’s frequency assumes that the scale is set to Equal Temperament. If a dierent scale is
selected, the actual frequency of A4 may be dierent.
Global MIDI Channel
[1…16]
is is the basic MIDI channel for modwave native. It applies to:
• MIDI received by any Layer with Use Global MIDI Channel enabled
• Program Change (via Set Lists)
• Other global functionality, such as modulation of Mod Knobs, Master Reverb, and Kaoss Physics
Global Scale
[O, On]
On: e settings on this page control the instrument’s scales. Performance scales are ignored.
O: e scale settings on this page are ignored.
Note: If both Global Scale and Performance Scale are O, the system simply uses equal temperament.
Active Scale, 1 (Scale 1), (Key), 2 (Scale 2), (Key)
When Global Scale is On, these control the scale being used. For details on the scale parameters, see “Active Scale” on
page 54.
