XfdRnd -Crossfade Random- Function generates the same random value for all layer

s in a preset. This source is designed to be used for cross-fading layers, altho

ugh you may find other uses. EX. ??
Key (+,~) -Key Follow- Destination will change with what key is played, highest
to lowest note or vice versa. EX. Use on cutoff to open/close a filter as you pl
ay up and down the keys.
Vel (+,~,<) -Velocity- "Speed" of the sound, how hard the key/note gets played.
EX. Generally used to control AmpVol and FilFreq to brighten the sound as a key
is played harder.

?
Gate - A gate is a switch that turns off the audio when it goes below a defined
threshold. EX. Set Gate to Pitch 50%. Now set RLS1 release time to 90 or somethi
ng high. When you press the key it plays the sample at an offset pitch of 50% ho
wever returns to the normal pitch when you release. Try with filter frequency et
c.

controlling pitch.
ModWl -Modulation Wheel- Wheel normally found on the right hand side of keyboard
s for controlling modulation. EX. Use to modulate LFO rate.

verage) pressure on the keys at a given point, somewhat like aftertouch. Depends
on the keyboard / controller used. EX. Use pressure to control the FilFreq.
Pedal - Midi controller like the hihat pedal on an electronic drum kit - standar
d midi cc number 4. EX. Use to open and close a filter like a square wave.

lse wave. EX. ??

d the interval between the last two notes played. EX. ??

on of time.
FEnv (+,~,<) -Filter Envelope- A shape that changes filter frequencies as a func
tion of time.
AEnv (+,~,<) -Aux Envelope- 2 per voice, auxilary envelopes change destinations
as a function of time. Found in Voice Edit->LFO/AUX->Next->Next.
Lfo(1-2) (+,~) -Low Frequency Occilation- An oscillator especially devoted to ap
plications below the audible frequency range, and typically used as a control so
urce for modulating a sound to create vibrato, tremolo, trills, and so on. EX. U
se to modulate FilFreq.
White -White Noise- Contains equal energy at all frequencies. Ex. Use to control
lfo rate for a random effect.
Pink -Pink Noise- Pink noise contains less energy in the higher audio frequencie
s than in the lower ones. EX. ??
KRand(1-2) -kRandom- Generates different random values for each layer which do n
ot change during the note (S&H). EX. Set krand1>filterfreq>+100. Then, very time
you hit the key you will actually hear a different degree of filtering. sometim
es the filter will be completely open, sometimes completely closed, sometimes in
the middle.
Lag(0-1)in -Lag in (summing amp out)- The Lag processors can be used as 2 additi
onal summing amps. Lag0sum and Lag1sum are modulation sources which equal the su
m of PatchCords connected to the Lag in destination. EX. ??
Lag(0-1) -Lag processor- Slows down rapid changes in the input signal. The outpu
t ?lags? behind the input at a pre-programmed rate. There are two lag processors
, Lag 0 and Lag 1. Lag 1 has a longer lag time than Lag 0. EX. ??
Ck(Dwhl,Whle,Half,Qtr,8th,16th) -Clock Divisors- Outputs a division of the incom
ing MIDI clock (looks like a square wave), from double whole note to 16th note.
EX. Use as a primitive LFO, or to modulate sound perfectly in time with the temp
o.
DC -Direct Current Offset- Offsets the destination by the parameter in the cord.
EX. See example in Switch.
Sum -Summing Amp- Lets you add several modulation signals together before applyi
ng them to a destination. This processor can save PatchCords when routing the ou
tput to multiple destinations. EX. ??
Switch - Outputs a digital ?1? whenever the input is greater than ?0.? EX. Inste
ad of assigning Vel~ to Switch use Vel+ as this will give all postive values. Al
so assign DC to Switch by -50%. When you play a key of velocity above 64 (50% of
128) the pitch will change to the 22% amount. The DC amount is the bit that con
trols where the switch will trigger. Switch will only trigger when its value is
above zero. A DC value of -50% is -64. Whenever the velocity is under 64, Switch
will not trigger. If the DC offset was not there then the pitch would constantl
y be playing at 22% as Switch value would always be greater than 0. If you chang
e the amount of Switch to -75% then you will need a velocity of 96 (75% of 128)
or above to change the pitch. See image below.

Abs -Absolute Value- This function inverts negative input values and outputs onl
y positive values. EX. ??
Diode -Transitor switch, blocks negative input values, passing only positive val
ues. EX. ??
FlipFlop - The output of this processor alternates between a digital ?1? and dig
ital ?0? each time the input goes positive from zero or a negative value. With a
n LFO input, the output will be a square wave of half the input frequency. EX. ?
?
Quanti -Quantizer- With the input PatchCord set to 100%, the output value is lim
ited to 16 discrete values. The value of the input PatchCord controls the number
of steps. The value of the output PatchCord controls the size of the steps. EX.
??
Gain4X - This processor amplifies the modulation source by a factor of 4. EX. ??

Destinations
KeySust -Key Sustain- ??
FinePtch - Fine tonal vibration of the air. EX. Use Lfo to modulate for a slight
vibrato effect.
Pitch - Tonal vibration of the air. EX. Use Lfo to modulate (vibrato).
Glide - A function, also called portamento, in which the pitch slides smoothly f
rom one note to the next instead of jumping over the intervening pitches. EX. ??

ChrsAmt -Chorus Amount- Can be controlled to add / subtract Chorus to a sound. E
X. Use an LFO to modulate the amount of chorus on a sound.
'CrhsITD -Chorus Position ITD-
'SStart -Sample Start- When used in conjunction with a cc you can change the sta
rt point of a sample on each note hit. EX. If used with the modwheel you can set
up a sample to progress through it's entire length in one bar or 10. You can ac
hieve old time stretching sounds with this and can also create "different" drum
sounds in your track when applied to the snare and a velocity controller is used
. You can get your snare to appear to not have a fast attack the softer it gets
and thus could sound like a brush hit.
SLoop -Sample Loop- viewtopic.php?t=233 :biglaugh:
SRetrig -Sample Retrigger- When triggered, will "retrigger" the sample from the
start. Use a square LFO or word clock to retrigger the sample in cycles.
FilFreq -Filter Frequency- Gives you control of the cutoff frequency of the filt
er in place. EX. Use the Filter Envelope to control this.
'FilRes -Filter Resonance- The resonant peak of the sound. If it is high enough,
the filter will begin to self-oscillate, producing an audio output even in the
absence of input. Filter resonance is also known as emphasis and Q. EX. Use inv
erse of the filter envelope to control this.
