Velocity Zone page

Here you can specify the range of velocities for each oscil- lator. In the example shown above, the velocity ranges are as follows.

•OSC1 will sound at all velocity values.

•OSC2 will sound only on strongly played notes (64 and above).

•You can use Velocity Multisample Switching in addition to this parameter (☞“High Multisample,

Low Multisample”). For this example, set “OSC1” in “Velocity M.Sample SW Lo→ Hi” to 32 and “OSC2” to 096. The settings are shown as vertical lines in the velocity zone display.

In this example, the multisamples will sound over four levels.

Velocity values 001–031: sounds only the OSC1 Low multisample.

Velocity values 032–063: sounds only the OSC1 High multisample.

Velocity values 064–095: sounds the OSC1 High multi- sample and the OSC2 Low multisample.

Velocity values 096–127: sounds the OSC1 High multi- sample and the OSC2 High multisample.

Controller Setup page

For each program, this tab lets you make settings for the [SW1] and [SW2] key, and for the B-mode of REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1]–[4] (☞p.145, PG p.12, 249, 250)

Pitch settings P2: Edit-Pitch

Here you can specify how the pitch of the multisample assigned to each oscillator will change. Pitch EG and LFO settings allow the pitch to varied over time. The OSC1 P.Mod page is valid when “Oscillator Mode” is set to Sin- gle or Drums.

OSC1 Pitch Mod. page

Pitch

The “JS (–X)” and “JS(+X)” settings specify the amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur when MIDI pitch bend messages are received or when the joystick is moved to left or right. A setting of +12 allows the pitch to be controlled a maximum of one octave upward; a setting of –12allows the pitch to be controlled a maximum of one octave downward.

“Ribbon” specifies the amount of pitch change (in semi- tones) that will occur when MIDI control change (CC) #16 messages are received or when the ribbon controller of a TRITON STUDIO or other MIDI-connected instrument is moved to left or right. With a setting of +12, the pitch will be raised one octave at the far right of the ribbon control- ler, and will be lowered by one octave at the far left of the ribbon controller.

Pitch EG

When the “Intensity” value is set to +12.00, the pitch EG specified in the Pitch EG page will produce a maximum of ±1 octave of pitch change.

Portamento

If “Enable” is checked, portamento will be applied. Portamento makes the pitch change smoothly when you play the next note before releasing the previous note. The “Time” parameter specifies the portamento time. As this value is increased, the pitch will change over a longer time. With a value of 000, there will be no portamento.

If Porta.SW CC#65 is assigned as the function of [SW1] or [SW2] key, the portamento effect can be switched on/off by [SW1] or [SW2] key.

LFO 1/2

An LFO can be used to cyclically modulate the pitch (a “vibrato” effect).

“LFO 1/2 Intensity” sets the depth to which the LFO spec- ified in P5: Edit-Common LFO will affect the pitch. With a setting of +12.00, vibrato will produce a maximum of ±1 octave of pitch change.

“JS+Y Int” specifies the amount of vibrato that the LFO will produce when the joystick is pushed away from your- self.
