3-1: Vibrato Delay Time Key Scaling

Vibrato delay time key scaling produces natural delay time variations across the

range of the keyboard by allowing different delay time offset values to be applied to each

of two breakpoints set at appropriate keys.

•

The ¶ button (“

Fpag

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

Vibrato key scaling page without having to return to the main parameter page.

● DlTime

≤

0 … 127.

The “

DlTime

” parameter is linked to the main Vibrato “

Delay Time

” param-

eter, and has the same effect. This value also determines the main delay time 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 delay time offset for each of the breakpoints defined by the

breakpoint key parameters, above. Negative values reduce the delay time, and positive

values increase the delay time at the corresponding breakpoint. No matter what offset

value is chosen, the actual delay time will never exceed its minimum or maximum

absolute value. When different offset values are applied to adjacent breakpoints, the delay

time varies smoothly between the breakpoints.
