Korg Speaker System P2: Edit-PitchPitch settings, Controller Setup tab, OSC1 Pitch Mod. tab

Controller Setup tab

For each program, this tab lets you make settings for the [SW1] and [SW2] keys, and for the B-mode of REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1]–[4] (☞p.127). (☞p.8, 217, 218 in the Parameter Guide)

P2: Edit-Pitch Pitch settings

Here you can specify how the pitch of the multisample selected for the oscillator will change. Pitch EG and LFO settings allow the pitch to varied over time. When the “OSC Mode” is Single or Drums, only the OSC1 P.Mod. tab is available.

OSC1 Pitch Mod. tab

Pitch

JS(+X) and JS(-X) specify the amount of pitch change that will occur when the joystick is moved to right or left, in semitone units. With a setting of +12 the pitch can be raised a maximum of one octave, and with a set- ting of –12the pitch can be lowered a maximum of one octave.

“Pitch Ribbon” specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you operate the ribbon controller toward the left or right. With a setting of +12, moving your finger to the right edge will raise the pitch one octave, and moving your finger to the left edge will lower the pitch one octave.

Pitch EG

When the “Intensity” value is set to +12.00, the pitch EG specified in the Pitch EG tab will produce a maxi- mum 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 porta- mento.

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 (the “vibrato” effect).

“LFO Intensity” specifies the amount of pitch change that the LFO will produce. 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 yourself.

“AMS Intensity” specifies the amount of vibrato that the LFO will produce when an AMS (alternate modu- lation source) is operated. For example if “AMS” is set to After Touch, vibrato will be applied when you apply pressure to the keyboard.

Pitch EG tab

Here you can make settings for the pitch EG. When you wish to create sound effects etc., set the pitch EG to make major changes in pitch over time. To realistically simulate the slight change in pitch that occurs when a string is plucked or at the attack of a brass or vocal sound, you can use the pitch EG to cre- ate a subtle change in pitch at the attack (☞p.10 in the Parameter Guide).

EG and LFO

When controlling the pitch, filter, and amplifier, the EG (envelope generator) and LFO (low frequency oscilla- tor) are used to create time-varying and cyclical changes.

EG (Envelope Generator)

The TRITON provides a Pitch EG, Filter EG, and Amplifier EG, which produce time-varying changes in pitch, tone, and volume respectively.

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

For each oscillator, the TRITON provides two LFO’s that can be used to apply cyclical change in pitch, tone, and volume.

Examples of this are “vibrato” (cyclical change in pitch), “wah” (cyclical change in tone), and “tremolo” or “auto-pan” (cyclical change in volume).
