Program P1: Basic/Vector 1–5: Vector Control
39
Vector Volume Control and CC Control
The Vector does two main things: it can control the
relative volume of the two Oscillators in Program
mode (or of up to 16 Programs at once in Combi
mode), and it can generate CCs for controlling
Program and Effects parameters.
Vector and MIDI
The Vector features interact with MIDI in two different
ways: through the Vector Joystick, and through the
Vector CC Control.
The Vector Joystick sends and receives two MIDI
controllers: one for the X axis, and the other for the Y
axis. In Global mode, you can assign these to any MIDI
CC numbers you like. The defaults are CC#118 for the
X axis, and CC#119 for the Y axis.
The Vector Joystick and its CCs control the Vector
position, in conjunction with the Vector EG.
The Vector CC Control, on the other hand, is generated
by the Vector position. Normally, this will only affect
internal sounds and effects. If you like, however, you
can also enable a Global parameter to send these
generated CCs to external MIDI devices.
1–5a: Vector Volume Control
Vector Volume Control lets you adjust the relative
volumes of Oscillators 1 and 2 by moving the Vector
Joystick (or the Vector Envelope) from left to right on
the X axis.
The Equal Power check-box makes the Vector create a
smooth fade between the two Oscillators, while the
OSC1/2 Center Volume parameters allow you to create
more complex fade shapes.
In Combi mode, you can use this to control the relative
volumes of up to 16 Programs at once, using both the X
and Y axes. For more details, see the Vector Control
section of Combi mode.
Enable Volume Control [Off, On]
When this box is checked, the Vector position will
control the volumes of Oscillators 1 and 2.
When this box is not checked, the Vector position will
not directly affect volume. However, it’s still possible
for the Vector to control volume via Vector CCs and
AMS.
Equal Power [Off, On]
This applies only when Enable Volume Control is
turned On.
When Equal Power is On, the Vector will fade between
Oscillators 1 and 2 using an equal-power volume
curve. This provides a smooth fade between the two
sounds, and is the type of volume control used by
classic vector synths.
Also, when this is checked, the OSC 1 and OSC 2
Center Volume parameters will be grayed out, since
Equal Power sets the center volumes automatically.
When Equal Power is Off, the OSC 1 and OSC 2
Center Volume parameters determine the way in
which Vector position affects volume.
OSC1 Center Volume [0, 25, 50, 75, 100%]
This sets the volume of Oscillator 1 at the center of the
X axis. It applies only when Equal Power, above, is set
to Off.
The volumes at the extreme ends of the X axis are
fixed. At the left side, Osc 1 is always at 100% volume;
at the right side, Osc 1 is always at 0%.
