● Breakpoint 1 … 4 Offset

≤

-64 … 63.

Set the amount of modulator index offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the

breakpoint key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the modulator index, and

positive values increase the modulator index at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter

what offset value is chosen, the actual modulator index will never exceed its minimum or

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

points, the modulator index varies smoothly between the breakpoints.

1-5: Harmonic Enhancer Balance Key Scaling

Harmonic Enhancer balance key scaling produces natural timbral variations across

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

each of two breakpoints set at appropriate keys.

•

The § button (“

Bpag

”) can be used to go directly backward to the next

harmonic enhancer key scaling page without having to return to the main

parameter page.

● Balance

≤

-64 … 63.

The “

Balance

” parameter is linked to the main harmonic enhancer “

Balance

”

parameter, and sets the balance between the wet and dry sound. This value also deter-

mines the main balance value on which all key-scaled variations are based (indicated by a

dotted line on the graph).

● Breakpoint 1 & 2 Key

≤

C-2 … G8.

Allows two separate key scaling breakpoints to be set at any notes between C-2 and

G8. You can position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter and use any

of the normal data entry procedures, or use the keyboard. To use the keyboard for break-

point entry, position the cursor at the appropriate breakpoint key parameter, press the •

button (“

Kbd

”), and then press the key at which you want to set the breakpoint while

“

Kbd

” appears in inverse characters.

No breakpoint can be set to a key lower than the breakpoint to its left.

● Breakpoint 1 & 2 Offset

≤

-64 … 63.

Set the amount of balance offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the break-

point key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the balance value (toward “dry”),
