•

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 mixing parameter page by pressing the ]

button.

● Driver Output

≤

0 … 127.

Adjusts the level of the instrument’s “driver” output. The “Driver” signal is the

direct output from the mouthpiece (or bow/string interface) without the resonance of the

instrument’s body. The higher the value the higher the output.

● Pipe/String Output

≤

0 … 127.

Adjusts the main output from the instrument’s pipe or string. The higher the value

the higher the output.

● Tap Output

≤

0 … 127.

By “tapping” the output from a specific point along the instrument’s pipe or string

and mixing that signal with the Driver and Pipe/String signals, a range of variations can

be produced. This parameter adjusts the tap output. The higher the value the higher the

output.

● Tap Sign

≤

-, +.

Sets the phase of the tap signal: “+” for positive or normal phase, “-” for negative

or inverse phase.

● Tap Setting

≤

Variable, Driving Point.

When set to “

Driving Point

” the tap location is fixed at the instrument’s

driving point (mouthpiece or bow/string interface). When set to “

Variable

” the tap

location is determined by the “

Tap Location

” parameter, below.
