Key On Delay
With this feature you can delay the playback of the layer by an adjustable time or a
note value.
When you play a note, the playback of the layer will be delayed by the time or note
value that you have set with this parameter. With Sync deactivated, the delay is
specified in milliseconds. With Sync activated, the delay is specified in fractions of
beats.
Set the Key On Delay time with the rotary encoder or by double-clicking in the
value field below the rotary encoder and entering a value.
To synchronize the delay time to the host tempo, activate the Sync button and
select a note value from the pop-up menu.
To change the selected note value to a triplet, activate the “T” button.
Unison
Unison allows you to trigger multiple voices simultaneously with each note you play.
When you activate the Unison option, the following parameters become available:
Glide
You can use Glide to bend the pitch between notes that follow each other. You
achieve the best results with Mono mode enabled. However, Glide also works
polyphonically.
When you activate the Glide option, the following parameters become available:
Option Description
Voices By default, Voices has a value of 2. Setting higher values increases
the number of voices being triggered simultaneously. For a richer
sound, adjust the Detune, Pan and Delay parameters accordingly. Up
to 8 voices can be used.
Detune Use this to detune the pitch of each unison voice by the amount
specified in cents. Detuning the pitch of the voices results in a fatter
sound.
Pan Use this to spread the unison voices across the stereo panorama.
The higher the value, the broader the stereo image will be.
Delay With this parameter you can adjust a small random delay for each
unison voice. With a value of 0
% all unison voices will be triggered at
the same time. Values from 1
% to 100 % add a small random delay to
each unison voice and the voices will not be triggered at the same
time anymore. The higher the value the more random the delay will be.
This is especially useful to avoid comb filter effects with two or more
slightly detuned samples, which would occur if you played them back
at exactly the same time.
Option Description
Time This specifies the time needed to bend the pitch from one note to
the other. You can set a time between 1
ms and 5000 ms.
Sync To synchronize the delay time to the host tempo, activate this option
and select a note value from the pop-up menu. To change the
selected note value to a triplet, activate the “T” button.
Mode Here you can specify whether the Glide Time is constant and
independent from the note interval (Constant Time) or if the time
changes with the note interval (Constant Speed). In the latter case
larger intervals result in longer glide times.
