Chapter 16 Vintage Clav 447
•
Velocity Curve pop-up menu: Choose one of nine preset velocity curves to suit your playing
style or the selected model. The nine curves available are: fx25%, fx50%, fx75%, fx100%,
convx1, convx2, linear (the default), concv1, and concv2.
•
Fixed (fx) curves: These are linear curves with a xed dynamic range of 25%, 50%, 75%, and
100%.
•
Convex (convx) curves: These curves are more dynamically responsive in the center octaves of
the keyboard range.
•
Concave (concv) curves: These curves are less dynamically responsive in the center octaves of
the keyboard range.
•
Damper Control pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI controller (or MIDI velocity or aftertouch) you
want to use to control the Damper parameter. O disables MIDI control.
•
Wah Control pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI controller you want to use as a manual Wah eect
control. MIDI foot controllers such as Expression pedals are commonly used for this type
of task, but any controller can be assigned. You can also use MIDI velocity or aftertouch
messages to control the Wah eect. O disables MIDI control. Choose the Learn menu item to
automatically assign the parameter to the rst appropriate incoming MIDI data message, then
move the controller on your MIDI keyboard. Learn mode has a 20 second time-out feature: If
Vintage Clav does not receive a MIDI message within 20 seconds, the parameter reverts to its
original MIDI controller assignment.
Note: You can simultaneously control the Wah eect with both the integrated envelope
follower function (“auto-wah”—see Vintage Clav Wah eect on page 442) and a manual
controller. In this situation, the controller events of the envelope follower and manual controls
are mixed.
•
Wah Pedal Position slider (Controls view): Choose View > Controls to access the Wah Pedal
Position slider. The value of this parameter represents the current pedal position, ensuring
that it is saved with the setting. Choose the Learn menu item to automatically assign the
parameter to the rst appropriate incoming MIDI data message, then move the controller
on your MIDI keyboard. Learn mode has a 20 second time-out feature: If Vintage Clav does
not receive a MIDI message within 20 seconds, the parameter reverts to its original MIDI
controller assignment.
Vintage Clav extended parameters
Vintage Clav provides two parameters that can be accessed by clicking the disclosure triangle at
the lower left of the interface.
Extended parameters
•
MIDI Mono Mode pop-up menu: Choose O, On (with common base channel 1), or On (with
common base channel 16).
In either Mono mode, each voice receives on a dierent MIDI channel. Controllers and MIDI
messages sent on the base channel aect all voices.
•
Mono Mode Pitch Range pop-up menu: Choose 0, 24, or 48.
The chosen pitch bend range aects individual note pitch bend messages received on
all but the common base channel. The default is 48 semitones, which is compatible with
Mobile GarageBand’s keyboard in pitch mode. When using a MIDI guitar, 24 semitones is the
preferable setting because most guitar to MIDI converters use this range by default.
