Creating a Patch

Stretch Tune Depth

This setting allows you to apply “stretched tuning” to the

patch. (Stretched tuning is a system by which acoustic pianos

are normally tuned, causing the lower range to be lower and

the higher range to be higher than the mathematical tuning

ratios would otherwise dictate.) With a setting of “OFF,” the

patch’s tuning will be equal temperament. A setting of “3”

will produce the greatest difference in the pitch of the low

and high ranges.

Value:

OFF,

1–3

The diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal

temperament that will occur in the low and high ranges. This

setting will have a subtle effect on the way in which chords

resonate.

Analog Feel (Analog Feel Depth)

Specifies the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to

the patch. (1/f modulation is a pleasant and naturally-

occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook

or rustling wind.)

By adding this “1/f modulation,” you can simulate the natural

instability characteristic of an analog synthesizer.

Value:

0–127

Cutoff Offset

Cutoff Frequency Offset alters the cutoff frequency of the

overall patch, while preserving the relative differences

between the cutoff frequency values set for each tone in the

Cutoff Frequency parameters (p. 110).

Range:

-63–

+63

This value is added to the cutoff frequency value of a

tone, so if the cutoff frequency value of any tone is

already set to “127” (maximum), positive “+” settings

here will not produce any change.

Resonance Offset

Resonance Offset alters the resonance of the overall patch,

while preserving the relative differences between the

resonance values set for each tone in the Resonance

parameter (p. 110).

Range:

-63–

+63

*

Resonance:

emphasizes the overtones in the region of the

cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound.

This value is added to the resonance value of a tone, so

if the resonance value of any tone is already set to “127”

(maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce

any change.

Attack Time Offset

Attack Time Offset alters the attack time of the overall patch,

while preserving the relative differences between the attack

time values set for each tone in the A-Env Time 1 parameters

(p. 115), F-Env Time 1 parameters (p. 112).

Range:

-63–

+63

*

Attack Time:

The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum

volume after the key is pressed and sound begun.

This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so

if the attack time value of any tone is already set to “127”

(maximum), positive “+” settings here will not produce

any change.
