Getting Started
The Controllers
6. Go to the Pressure Controller Page
From the Vibrato page use the § button to step back to the Pressure controller
page. Quite logically, the Breath Controller is assigned to control the “Pressure
parameter, and we will leave it set that way while we experiment with the “Depth” and
Curve” parameters.
7. Vary the Depth Parameter
Move the cursor to the “Depth” parameter and, while trying out the effect of the
changes on how the “Pressure” parameter is affected by the Breath Controller, use the
data dial to vary to depth setting.
As you decrease the setting, notice that the graph to the right of the display changes
accordingly. The horizontal axis corresponds to breath pressure (or the control value in
any other controller screen), and the vertical axis represents the depth of the parameter.
With “Depth” set to the maximum value of “127” no breath pressure produces no
sound and maximum breath pressure produces maximum output.
As the value of the “Depth” parameter approaches zero, however, the depth of the
output range is reduced and a corresponding amount of output is produced even at mini-
mum breath pressure. In other words, at a setting lower than 127 simply playing a key
will produce sound even without breath pressure, and the Breath Controller will vary
output between the initial level and maximum output.
