CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 401
Spread If Spread is turned up, the synthesizer uses two detuned voices per note, one
each on the left and right stereo channels, to create chorusing sounds. Spread is a very
CPU-intensive effect.
Transpose This is the global transposition setting for the instrument. Changing this pa-
rameter will affect notes that are already playing.
Pitch Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel) This parameter exists for lter, pitch, LFO and
volume envelopes. It is therefore listed in the section on envelopes.
Glide (G) With Glide on, notes will slide from the pitch of the last played note to their
played pitch. Note that all envelopes are not retriggered in this case if notes are being
played legato.
Glide Time (Time) This is the time it takes for a note to slide from the pitch of the last
played note to its nal pitch when Glide is activated. This setting has no effect if Glide is
not activated.
Pitch Envelope to Osc (Destination A-D) The pitch envelope affects the frequency of the
respective oscillator if this is turned on.
Pitch Envelope to LFO (Destination LFO) The pitch envelope affects the frequency of the
LFO if this is turned on.
Pitch Envelope Amount A This sets the intensity of the pitch envelope's modulation of the
oscillators and LFO.
Pitch Envelope Destination B This sets the second modulation destination for the pitch
envelope.
Pitch Envelope Amount B This sets the intensity of the pitch envelope's modulation of the
secondary target.
Filter Shell and Display
Filter On This turns the lter on and off. Turning it off when it is unused saves CPU power.
Filter Type This chooser selects one of 14 lter types, including a variety of lowpass,
highpass, bandpass and notch lters. The lter names imply the part of the spectrum they
affect. A notch lter passes everything apart from its center frequency and is more audible
