● Breakpoint 1 & 2 Offset

≤

-64 … 63.

Set the amount of cutoff frequency offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the

breakpoint key parameters, above. Negative values lower the cutoff frequency, and

positive values raise the cutoff frequency at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter

what offset value is chosen, the actual cutoff frequency will never exceed its minimum or

maximum absolute value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent break-

points, the cutoff frequency varies smoothly between the breakpoints.

1-2: Harmonic Enhancer Overdrive Key Scaling

Harmonic Enhancer overdrive key scaling produces natural timbral variations across

the range of the keyboard by allowing different overdrive offset values to be applied to

each of two breakpoints set at appropriate keys. Key scaling can be applied independently

to the carrier and modulator overdrive parameters.

•

Separate key scaling parameter pages are provided for the carrier and modula-

tor overdrive parameters. The appropriate key scaling page will be selected

when you press ¶ (“

KSC

”) from the main carrier or modulator parameter

page.

•

The § and ¶ buttons (“

Bpag

” and “

Fpag

”) can be used to go directly

backward or forward to the next harmonic enhancer key scaling page without

having to return to the main parameter page.

● CrrOvr, ModOvr

≤

0.063 … 15.31 kHz.

The “

CrrOvr

” and “

ModOvr

” parameters are linked to the main harmonic en-

hancer “

Over Drive

” parameters, and set the amount of distortion produced by the

carrier or modulator. This value also determines the main overdrive level on which all

key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a dotted line on the graph).

Further, the higher

breakpoint applies to the

specified note while the

lower one actually applies

to the next note to its left.

If more than two break-

points are set to the same

note, only the lowest and

highest of these will

function as ends of the

corresponding key scaling

segments while the rest

are ignored.
