PROGRAM mode: HD-1
50
PROGRAM > OSC/Pitch
These pages control the first and most basic elements of HD-
1’s sounds: the Multisamples that the oscillators play, and
the pitch at which it plays them. For instance, you can:
• Select Multisamples and Wave Sequences for Single and
Double Programs, or Drum Kits for Drum Programs.
• Set up velocity splits, crossfades, and layers for Single
and Double Programs.
• Set the basic pitch of the sound, including the octave,
fine tuning, and so on.
• Control pitch modulation from a wide variety of sources,
such as JSX, LFOs, and the Pitch EG.
Note that when the Oscillator Mode is set to Single or
Drums, only Oscillator 1’s filters are active; the pages for
Oscillator 2’s filters will be grayed out.
2–1: OSC1 Basic
HD-1’s sounds are based on samples, and this page lets you
set up all of the basic sample-related settings. Among other
things, you can:
• Select Multisamples and/or Wave Sequences for the
Oscillator (in a Single or Double Program), or select the
Drum Kit for a Drum Program
• Set the Oscillator’s basic pitch
• Create velocity splits and crossfades between
Multisamples and/or Wave Sequences
2–1a: OSC1 Frequency
Octave [–2[32’], –1[16’], +0[8’], +1[4’]]
This sets the basic pitch of the Oscillator, in octaves. The
default is +0[8']. The standard octave of a multisample is +0
[8'].
Transpose [–12…+12]
This adjusts the pitch in semitones, over a range of ±1
octave.
Tune [–1200…+1200]
This adjusts the pitch in cents, over a range of ±1 octave. A
cent is 1/100 of a semitone.
Frequency Offset [–10.0Hz … +10.0Hz]
This adjusts the pitch by increments of 0.1 Hz. Frequency
Offset is different from Tune in that, when used to detune
the two oscillators, it can create a constant beat frequency
across the range of the keyboard.
2–1b: Note-On Control
Delay [0000ms…5000ms, KeyOff]
Use this to create a delay between the time that you press a
key, and the time that the note actually sounds.
This is most useful in Double Programs, for delaying one
oscillator in relation to the other.
KeyOff is a special setting. Instead of delaying the sound by
a particular amount of time, the sound will play as soon as
you release the key. You can use this to create the “click”
heard when a harpsichord note is released, for instance.
In general, when you use the KeyOff setting, it’s also best to
set the oscillator’s Amp EG Sustain Level to 0.
Mode [Key, Key + Damper]
Normally, you play notes simply by pressing keys on the
keyboard. In special cases, however, you can set this
parameter so that you must first be holding down the damper
pedal, and then press a key, in order to play a note. For
instance, this can be useful when modeling the behavior of a
piano soundboard.
