2 Press the F4 key – Pitch.
Tune: The Tune controls the general tuning of the instrument with an amplitude of + / - 100 cents,
or rather +/- 1 semitone. To modify the tuning press key F1 and adjust using the Value + / -
keys. By pressing the two Value keys simultaneously the standard 440Hz tuning is restored.
Vibrato: this parameter is used to disable the Vibrato from the Voices where this is provided for.
Note : Some Voices of the instrument have been sampled with the natural Vibrato of the instrument;
thes voices are obviously not affected by the aforesaid function.
To disable the Vibrato simply press key F2.
Portamento: this parameter controls the velocity of the Portamento effect. The value is changed
using the Value + / - keys.
Legato: with the Legato function in the ON position (F4) the Portamento is transformed into the
Mono mode and is operational on one Voice alone. To achieve the Legato effect between two
notes, one of the two notes must be held down.
The Legato function may be extremely useful when simulating the phrasing of some traditional
soloist instruments such as the Violin, Trumpet, Trombone etc.
Bend Value: this parameter (F 6) controls the amplitude of the Pitch Bend expressed in semitones.
If the Pitch Wheel is moved upwards (Up) the tones are sharpened, whereas moving it
downwards (DOWN), the tones are flattened. The standard value is 2 semitones +/- and the max.
permissible range is + /- 24 semitones.
To set a different value use the Value + / - keys.
The following functions enable the association of some interesting controls to the Pitch Wheel
concerning the LFO, the Filter and the Amplitude.
Bend LFO: controls the amount of LFO assigned to the Pitch wheel. The value is modified using
the Value + / - keys.
Bend DCF: controls the Filter associated with the Pitch Wheel. The value is modified using the Value
+ / - keys. Moving it upwards, the Voice filter opens; moving it downwards the Filter closes. With
value 127 the maximum filter amplitude is achieved; value 64 corresponds to the standard value.
Bend VCA: controls the sound amplitude associated with the Pitch Wheel. The value is changed
using the Value < > keys. With value 127 the maximum amplitude is achieved, value 64 corre-
sponds to the standard value.
FOOTSWITCH (F5)
Access to the functions assigned to the Pedal control (See Footswitch chapter).
ACCORDION (F6)
Access to the menu of the Accordion section (See ACCORDION chapter).
TEXT (F7)
Press F7 repeatedly to select the size of the character used by the text (Font 1 / Font 2), or to exclu-
de the display of the text whilst playing.
MSP EDIT, F9 MSP NEW (F8)
These two functions concern the Multisamples and are described in the Sampler section of this
manual.
Vel. Curve (F9)
Press F10 repeatedly to select among the 6 dynamic answer curves available: Normal. Hard1.
Hard2. Fixed. Soft1. Soft2. With the Fixed curve, you can use the value +/- buttons to establish the
fixed value of Key Velocity that the instrument sends via Midi .
