Note Event Parameters
The nine note event parameters are described below:
•
Velocity - note veloCity value to be used by various modulation
destinations in the synth engine (0-127).
•
Duration - note duRation in 24 PPQN increments (parts per quarter note),
used to gate the envelope generators (1-255). When ADSR envelopes are
used, the duRation determines the time period before the Release envelope
phase begins.
•
Tuning - Changes the Pitch of the note in semitones (-60 to +60).
•
FX1, FX2, FX3, FX4 - note fX 1-4 directly control the note fX
deStinationS as assigned in the Note FX menu. (See “Note FX” on page
43 for additional details).
•
Time Shift - Tempest’s sequencer resolution is 96 PPQN.
tiMe Shift allows a note to be shifted +/- 3 parts. At 120 BPM, 1 part equals
about 5.2 milliseconds.
•
Reverse - ReveRSe allows you to reverse individual notes in a Beat.
Reverse causes Sounds—even completely analog, non-sample-based
Sounds—to play in reverse by reversing the envelopes.
