Voice Parameters

1-2-2
Pitch
The processing unit that controls the pitch of the wave output from the Oscillator on the tone
generator block of the Electronic Musical Instrument.
This unit controls the pitch of the sound (wave) output from the Oscillator. In the case of a
Normal Voice, you can detune separate Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by
setting the Pitch Envelope Generator (Pitch EG), you can control how the pitch changes over
time.
Coarse Tuning
Determines the pitch of each Element (Normal Voice) or each Drum Key
(Drum Voice) in semitones.
Fine Tuning
Determines the pitch of each Element or each Drum Key in cents.
The term "cent" refers to one hundredth of a semitone (i.e., 100 cents = 1
semitone).
Pitch Velocity Sensitivity
Determines how the pitch of the Element or Drum Key responds to
Velocity.
Positive values: The pitch rises more, the harder you play the
keyboard.
Negative values: The pitch falls more, the harder you play the
keyboard.
0
: No change in pitch.
Fine Scaling Sensitivity
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically, their position or
Octave Range) affect the pitch in Fine Tuning of the selected Element,
assuming C3 as the basic pitch.
Positive values: The pitch of lower notes drops and that of higher
notes rises.
Negative values: The pitch of lower notes rises and that of higher
notes drops.
Random
This lets you randomly vary the pitch of the Element for each note you play.
The higher the value, the greater the pitch variation.
0
: No pitch change.
Pitch Key Follow
Sensitivity
Determines the sensitivity of the Key Follow effect (the pitch interval of
adjacent notes), assuming the pitch of the Center Key as standard.
+100%
(the normal setting): Adjacent notes are pitched one semitone
apart.
0%
: All notes are the same pitch specified as the Center Key.
Negative values: The settings are reversed.
This parameter is useful for creating alternate tunings, or for use with
sounds that do not need to be spaced in semitones, such as pitched drum
sounds in a Normal Voice.
