104 Chapter 18 KlopfGeist
KlopfGeist can operate as a monophonic or polyphonic (4 voice) instrument, as
determined by the Trigger Mode radio buttons. There are two tuning parameters; Tune
for coarse tuning in semitone steps, and one for fine tuning (Detune) in cents. The
Tonality parameter changes the sound of KlopfGeist from a short click to a pitched
percussion sound—similar to a Wood Block or Claves. Damp controls the release time.
The shortest release time is reached when Damp is at its maximum (1.00) value. Level
Via Vel determines the velocity sensitivity of KlopfGeist. It is a two part slider; the upper
half of the slider determines the volume for maximum velocity, the lower half for
minimum velocity. By clicking and dragging in the area between the two slider
segments, you can move both simultaneously.
The overall level of the virtual click sound is determined by the Audio Instrument
channel 16 Volume fader.
Note: A Klopfgeist (knocking ghost) is a ghostly little fellow, usually German, who
restricts himself to producing knocking and tapping sounds, unlike his big brother, the
Poltergeist. Audio Instrument channel 16 is fitted with a Ghost Buster facility—the
button labeled M.
