SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PITCH MOD2 INPUT
Because the second modulation input for pitch is freely assignable, there are many possibilities
you may like to try:
Pitchbend Although there is a global pitchbend function in the
modulation pages, you might like to use this to individually
bend keygroups separately. The values for pitchbend range
are:
+04 1 semitone +09 1 tone
+13 minor 3rd +17 major 3rd
+21 fourth +26 6 semitones
+30 fifth +34 8 semitones
+38 9 semitones +42 10 semitones
+46 11 semitones +50 1 octave
Be sure to turn the pitchbend parameters to 0 in the
modulation pages unless you wish to add the above values to
the pitchbend set there.
Modwheel Use this instead of pitchbend. The values for pitchbend are
the same as above. Be sure to turn modulation to +00 in the
field above unless you wish the bent note to
also have vibrato.
Pressure Use this instead of either of the above. The same values apply
External Use this instead of the above when using the footpedal or
breath control possibilities for pitchbend.
Velocity Use this so that differing velocities will affect pitch. This may be
useful on some percussive sounds which have a different
pitch for each note - for example, an African talking drum or
pedal tympani.
key Although this may appear pointless as the keyboard is also
routed, by setting a negative value here you may set up micro
tonal scales. By setting a positive value you may extend the
usual keyboard tuning.
Lfo2 Add this to LFO1 for a more varied vibrato with ensemble
sounds. Alternatively, setting LFO1 and LFO2 accordingly,
you may create some odd special effects. LFO2 could also be
set to provide a square wave octave jump whilst LFO1
provides vibrato as normal. Many possibilities exist.
Env1 Use this to create pitch sweeps that vary according to the
sounds overall level.
! Modwheel Use this and the other “!” controllers to affect pitch at the point
of note-on.
