6.1 Tonal Shaping.
The basic foundations for melodic structures are set with the scale, root,
and pitch parameters. The Harmony function delivers chord progressions
by changing notes. There are more options for tonal shaping and creating
melodic variations and melodies. The tonal shaping parameters include
Voicing and Range. Style and Phrase also provide control over the melodic
behaviour. These parameters are found in the shape section.

6.2 Voicing & Style Overview
Voicing adjusts the order of notes across octaves. This starts from the
placement of pitch note settings. The behaviour of how these notes are
transformed is governed by the selected Style option. Essentially, Voicing
controls the amount of note adjustment up and down the octaves, the
behaviour of which is determined by the selected Style shape.
Voicing is a bi-polar parameter meaning that the amount can transform
notes up or down the octave range. The note play direction can be changed
in the voicing options.
One of the Styles is always selected. The default is Poly - Fixed,
represented by [VB1] on the value buttons. However, the style is not
immediately applied as the Voicing, i.e. the amount is set by default to 0.
The pitch notes would therefore be passed as is through to the output
unless Voicing is applied.
(1) All T-1 Parameters have close interaction and rely on each other to
generate the nal output. Transformation is not generated in isolation from
one single parameter but is a combination of settings from many parameters.
