The Note Variation Slider, ASSIGN and AFTER keys

The Note Variation slider can be used in real time to change the

tuning, attack, decay, or filter frequency for a sound played from a

single pad. Once the slider is assigned to single pad and parameter,

moving the slider while playing the pad will cause the sound’s

tuning, attack, decay, or filter frequency to be determined by the

current slider position.

Here are some examples of uses of Note Variation:

1. The slider can control decay for a hi-hat sound. This would

simulate the action of a drummer’s hi-hat pedal, allowing a

unique hi-hat decay time each time the pad is played.

2. The slider can be assigned to tuning for a tom tom sound. By

moving the slider while playing the tom pad, a wide range of tom

tunings is possible.

3. The slider can control filter frequency for a sound containing a

resonant filter setting. This would allow each note played to have

a different resonant filter frequency, simulating old analog

synthesizer sample and hold filter effects.

The ASSIGN Key

To assign the Note Variation Slider to a pad and parameter, press

the ASSIGN key. The following screen will appear:

==== Assign Note Var Slider (Pgm:24) ===

Note:64/A01-Sound_name

Param:TUNING

Low range: 0 High range:5000

========================================

To assign the slider to a pad and parameter:

1. Press the desired pad (the note number, pad number and sound

name of the pad you pressed will appear in the Note field).

2. Move the cursor to the Param field and select the desired param-

eter (TUNING, ATTACK, DECAY or FILTER).
