TouchFaders

ThelefttouchfadercontrolsthedynamicsofGlide,orsidewaysmovementsofthefinger
onkeywavesoralongribbons.WhentheGlideTouchFaderissettominimum,sideways
movementswillnotbendpitch.TheinstrumentisinPianoMode,anditwillrespondlikea
standardkeyboard.WhentheTouchFaderissettomaximum,thekeywavesurfaceis
maximallysensitivetosidewaysmovements,andevenminutemovementswillresultinpitch
bend.

Note:Theilluminationofthe  Glide  TouchFadercorrespondstothelevelofthe  keywaves’
sensitivitytothe  Glide  movement.

ThecentertouchfadercontrolsthedynamicsofSlide,orverticalmovementsupand
downthekeywave.WhentheSlideTouchFaderisatalowersetting,thespectrumofsound
availableformodulationalongtheYaxisofthekeywaveisnarrower.Thismeansthatyou
canreachthemaximumendoftherangeofmodulationwithashortermovementupordown
akeywave.WhentheSlideTouchFaderisatahighersetting,thespectrumofsound
availablealongtheYaxisiswider.Thismeansthatyourfingermusttravelagreater
distancetoreachthemaximumendoftherangeofmodulation,andyouwillbeableto
accessawiderrangeofintermediatesoundsalongtheverticalpathoftravel. 

Note:TheilluminationontheSlideTouchFadercorrespondstothedistancethatmustbe
travelledbetweenthetwopolesofthesoundavailableformodulation.

TherighttouchfadercontrolsthedynamicsofPress,ortheresponseofthekeywave
surfacetocontinuouspressureappliedafterStrike.WhenthePressTouchFaderisata
lowersetting,thespectrumofsoundavailabletomodulatethroughpressureisnarrower.
Thismeansthatyoucanreachthemaximumendoftherangeofmodulationthroughlighter
pressureonthekeywavesurface.WhenthePressTouchFaderisatahighersetting,the
spectrumofsoundavailablethroughpressureiswider.Thismeansthatyouwillpressmore
firmlytoreachthemaximumendoftherangeofmodulation,andyouwillbeabletoaccess
awiderrangeofintermediatesoundsasyouvarypressureonthekeywavesurface.

Note:Theilluminationonthe  Press  TouchFadercorrespondstothedepthofpressurethat
mustbeexertedtotravelbetweenthetwopolesofthesoundavailableformodulation.
