Chapter 5. Creating Patches

Modifying Pitch (PITCH)

You can set the WG pitch of each Tone.

PITCH

Coarse (Coarse Tune)

Adjusts the pitch of the Tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).

The overall coarse tune of the Patch is set by the Coarse parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH OCT&TUNE) (p. 70).

Fine (Fine Tune)

Adjusts the pitch of the Tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

The overall fine tune of the Patch is set by the Fine parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH OCT&TUNE) (p. 70).

Random (Random Pitch Depth)

Specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to 0. The setting is adjustable in units of 1 cent (1/100th of a semitone).

Keyfollow (Pitch Keyfollow)

Sets the amount of pitch change that will occur per octave on the keyboard.

For a conventional keyboard pitch change of 1 octave when keyboard position goes up 1 octave, set this parameter to +100. For a 2 octave pitch changes when keyboard position goes up 1 octave, set this parameter to +200. Negative (-) values will lower pitch even as you go up the keyboard. If you want the same pitch to sound regardless of what key is pressed, set this parameter to 0.

PCH ENVELOPE (Pitch Envelope)

Here you can make pitch envelope settings (changes in pitch over time).

Depth (Pitch Envelope Depth)

Adjusts the effect of the Pitch Envelope. Higher settings will cause the pitch envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

V-Sens (Pitch Envelope Velocity Sensitivity)

Keyboard playing dynamics can be used to control the depth of the pitch envelope. If you want the pitch envelope to have more effect for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want the pitch envelope to have less effect for strongly played notes, set this to a negative (-) value.
