PITCH
We used the PITCH control input page as an example to introduce the common DSP control
parameters in Chapter 6, so we wonÕt add much here. The PITCH function modiÞes the pitch of
the layerÕs keymap as it passes through the sound engine. The PITCH stage of each algorithm
is always the Þrst stage. Algorithms 26Ñ31, the Sync algorithms, donÕt show the PITCH stage
on the ALG page, since these algorithms generate their own sawtooth waves, and do not use
keymaps.
AMP
The AMP function is the Þnal stage in every single-output algorithm, and controls the overall
amplitude (volume) of the layer. This is an easy way to boost the signal to a more desirable
level if itÕs not loud enough for your purposes. Large values for the Adjust parameter can cause
a sound to clip, which will distort most sounds considerably. You may want this effect, and
using it wonÕt damage anything, but as a rule, youÕll want to avoid clipping your sounds with
the AMP (or GAIN) function. There are many other ways to distort your sounds, like DIST,
SHAPER, and WRAP, to name a few.
The settings for the parameters on the F4 AMP page affect the gain level for the currently
selected layer. So do the settings on the AMPENV page. Compare this with the effect of GAIN,
described later in this section.
