6 - Voice Processing
Modulation Cords
Connect the Modulation Cords
26. Select the Voice Processing page from your
new preset (P1025) in the Tree. The voice
processing page appears.
27. Set up the Cords as shown at left. You only
need to change two parameters. Set Cord 3’s
destination to LFO ~ to Sample Loop, and
change the Amount of Cord 4 to -2.00.
28. Play the keyboard and turn up the Mod
Wheel. You should now be hearing rich,
luscious pulse width modulation.
29. You might want lower the frequency of LFO 1
for a better chorale effect.
Assign Groups
The Assign Groups can be divided into two types:
Output Assign Groups - Set the maximum number of output channels that a
voice can use. Protects important parts, or causes intentional voice “stealing”.
Poly Key Assign Groups- Limits the number of times a voice will sound when
the same key is repeatedly pressed. Conserves available polyphony by limiting
the number of output channels assigned to a single key.
Output Assign Groups
This function allows you to assign a certain number of output channels to each voice.
By assigning all voices in the preset to assign groups, important parts can be protected
from being “stolen” by more recently played keys. Or, a voice such as an open high hat
can be assigned to a mono channel so it will be cancelled by a closed high hat. Voices
will rotate within their assigned bin of channels not interfering with other bins. Poly
All is the default mode. The modes are as follows:
.
Output Assign Groups
Poly All
Poly 16 A-B
Poly 8 A-D
Poly 4 A-D
Poly 2 A-D
Mono A-I
Notes are played polyphonically with dynamic channel assignment,
using all available polyphony.
Two bins of 16 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with
dynamic channel assignment, using no more than 16 channels.
Four bins of 8 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with
dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 8 channels.
Four bins of 4 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with
dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 4 channels.
Four bins of 2 channels each. Notes are played polyphonically with
dynamic channel assignment, but using no more than 2 channels.
Nine monophonic channels. Any voices assigned to the same letter
interrupt each other, but do not affect other voices.
Note: “Output
Channels” in this context
is defined as channels of
polyphony, or the
number of sounds that
can be simultaneously
played.
