Throat Formant38(24): Thr CC No.

•Throat Formant Control Change Number

•Settings: off… 95, AT, VEL, PB

“Throat Formant” controls the characteristics of the simulated player’s lungs, trachea, and oral cavity. Can add a realistic “roughness” to the sound. The “Thr CC No.” parameter specifies the controller to be used for throat formant control. When set to “off”, no throat formant variation can be produced via a controller, but a continuous throat formant value is determined by the “39(25): ThrCtrlDpt” parameter, below (negative values increase the throat formant level).

•The “ThrCtrlDpt” parameter, below, must be set to an appropriate value (higher than “+01” or lower than “-01”) for throat formant control to have any effect.

•Throat Formant only applies to some reed-type voices.

40:Thr Curve (VOICE mode only)

• Throat Formant Curve

• Settings: -16 … +16

Determines the relationship between the controller value and throat formant depth. When set to “+00” the relationship is linear. That is, a change in the controller value produces a corresponding change in throat formant depth. As the curve value increases the lower end of the controller range has relatively little effect on the sound while higher controller values produce more dramatic changes. Negative curve values have the opposite effect: the sound changes dramatically at low controller values while higher values produce relatively little effect. The “Curve” setting is reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display — the horizontal axis represents the controller value and the vertical axis represents throat formant depth.

Harmonic Enhancer

41(26): Hrm CC No.

 

• Harmonic Enhancer Control Change Number

 

• Settings: off … 95, AT, VEL, PB

Sets the amount of variation produced by the controller assigned to throat formant. The higher the value the greater the variation. Positive values cause an increase in throat formant effect in response to higher controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or higher modulation wheel position), while minus values cause a decrease in throat formant effect in response to higher controller values. The “Depth” setting is reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display — the horizontal axis represents the controller value and the vertical axis represents throat formant depth.

The Harmonic Enhancer can vary the harmonic structure of the sound over a wide range. The “Hrm CC No.” parameter specifies the controller to be used for harmonic enhancer depth (wet/dry balance) control. When set to “off” no harmonic enhancer depth variation can be applied via a controller.
