VL Version 2
44
EDIT/E1/MISC/THROAT FORMANT/KSC (Pitch)
The number of breakpoints has been increased from four to eight, allowing much
greater key-scaling precision.

Tap Setting

¯Driving Point, Fixed, KeyTrack, Fixed(Straight), KeyTrack(Straight)
In the original VL models the “Tap Setting” parameter had only two settings:
“Variable” and “Driving Point”. In Version 2 five settings are available:
“Driving Point”, “Fixed”, “KeyTrack”, “Fixed(Straight)”, and
“KeyTrack(Straight)”.
The “Driving Point” setting has the same effect as in the original version,
while the “KeyTrack” setting is equivalent to the original “Variable” setting. When
the “Fixed” setting is selected the driving point is fixed at the position specified by the
“Tap Location” parameter — directly in microseconds through milliseconds: from
20.8 µsec to 946 µsec, and then from 1.01 msec to 42.7 msec. The
“Fixed(Straight)” and “KeyTrack(Straight)” parameters are essentially the
same as the “Fixed” and “KeyTrack” parameters, except that they cover a broader
range of settings for greater sonic variation.
The number of Tap Location key-scaling breakpoints has been increased from 6 to 8
for exacting control.

EDIT/E1/MISC/EXCITATION
The parameters in this page can be used to apply a pulse-wave excitation signal to
the string or reed to create a plucked effect.
•An inverse “K” next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to that
parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press the
(“KSC”) button or [ button to go directly to the key scaling page for
that parameter. You can return to the excitation parameter page by pressing
the ] button.
