● Velocity Sens To Rate

≤

0 … 16.

Determines the relationship between the voice’s pressure envelope rates (attack,

decay, and release) and keyboard velocity. When set to “0”, keyboard velocity (i.e. how

fast or hard the keyboard is played) has no effect on the envelope rates. At values higher

than “1”, however, high keyboard velocities will increase the rates and low keyboard

velocities will decrease the rates. The higher the value the greater the effect of keyboard

velocity on the pressure envelope rates.

2: Embouchure & Pitch

•

Each VL1 voice has its own embouchure & pitch envelope which determines

how it responds to embouchure and pitch changes. The parameters in this

display page determine how the embouchure & pitch envelope is used and

how it will respond to keyboard velocity.

•

An inverse “K”(˚) next to a value means that key scaling can be applied to

that parameter. Position the cursor at the appropriate parameter and then press

the ¶ button (“

KSC

”) to go directly to the key scaling page for that param-

eter. You can return to the embouchure & pitch envelope parameter page by

pressing the ] button.

≤

0 … 16.

Determines the relationship between embouchure/pitch and keyboard velocity.

When set to “0”, keyboard velocity (i.e. how fast or hard the keyboard is played) has no

effect on embouchure or pitch. At values higher than “1”, however, high keyboard

velocities produce a higher embouchure and pitch variation while low keyboard velocities

produce a smaller variation. The higher the value the greater the effect of keyboard

velocity on embouchure & pitch.

-16 … 16.

Determines the relationship between the voice’s embouchure & pitch envelope

decay rate and keyboard velocity. When set to “0”, keyboard velocity (i.e. how fast or

hard the keyboard is played) has no effect on the decay rate. At values higher than “1”,
