The Controllers

4. Edit the Scream Controller Parameter

The cursor should be located at the “Controller” parameter, as shown in the

example display. In the AltoSax voice the scream control parameter is not used so it is

currently turned “off”. Press the - button or rotate the data entry dial to the right

slightly to select “Modulation Wheel”, the first controller on the list.

Notice that as soon as you edit the parameter, an inverse letter “E”(´) appears to

the left of the voice number near the upper left corner of the display. This tells you that

the voice has been edited and, later, that you’ll need to store the voice in memory before

selecting a different voice if you want to keep the edited data.

NOTES ■ The Controller parameter has 124 settings — corresponding to the

controller number provided by MIDI protocol and internal combined controllers

(Breath Attack, Touch EG). Some of these are pre-assigned: Modulation Wheel is

number 001, Breath Controller is number 002, etc. When you select a pre-

assigned controller the corresponding controller name is shown on the display;

non-assigned controllers are displayed as MIDI control change numbers.

5. Try Out the Edited Voice & Cancel the Vibrato Effect

Try operating the modulation wheel on your keyboard or other MIDI device while

playing the Alto Sax voice. You should hear the scream effect increase as the wheel is

rolled upward. Vibrato is still assigned to the modulation wheel, so the vibrato effect will

come in simultaneously.

To cancel the vibrato effect and leave only the scream effect, simply go to the

Controller “VIBRATO” page and turn the Controller parameter “off”. To get to the

vibrato page you can either ] to the controller directory introduced in step 2 and

select the vibrato page from there, or step backward through the controller pages by using

the § function button (“Bpag” stands for “Back page”). In the same way, the ¶

function button can be used to step forward through the controller pages (“Fpag”).

NOTES ■ When “

Para

” appears above the

•

function button, as it does in the

vibrato and several other controller pages, the

•

function button accesses

another page of parameters pertaining to the controller.
