-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION AMCS CONFIGURING A WAVEFORM EFFECT the Advance Music Construction System SUBJECT Instrument Configuration: Configuring a Waveform Effect SUMMARY This part of the documentation explains how an Instrument Configuration is performed. Similar operations in this system section have differing options and only those are listed here. The Instrument Configuration is used to set parameters for how the Instrument, Effect or Function behaves whilst being played. DESCRIPTION The configuration for a Waveform Effect has different options following "continuous" from other Instrument types, only those options are listed below. Most options will have arrow icons next to the setting to indicate that it can be changed in a certain way, an arrow going right is to suggest that the content can be edited via keyboard or the virtual keyboard in the parameter editor section of the system, and arrows going up and down are to toggle or, increase or decrease the current value. LENGTH The effect duration time is shown to the right of the Effect Path Sample length and is relative to a centisecond rate. CHANNEL Modifying the channel value to the next multiple of 16 will imply the effect should route to an alternate mix group, there are 4 audio mix groups in total. The route and subchannel values are shown to the right of the channel value. Range: 0-255, Default: 0 CONTINUOUS Switching this option will cause the Effect to either terminate at the next loop ending or at the end of the Effect Path. Default: NO LOOP Toggling this will invoke playback of the Effect Path to recur in the loop markers whilst a cue trigger is held. Default: YES ALIGNED Modifying this will cause the Effect Path to restart everytime a cue is triggered. Default: NO MIX METHOD This will switch the method in which the audio is effected with its reference. "D" indicates Destination which is the existing reference audio, "S" indicates Source which is the audio sample within the Instrument, and these will both be included within an algebraic formula in standard notation. The formula relates directly to how the effect is handled mathematically during playback. Only certain effects will support this. Default: D+S RATE Changing this will increase or decrease the division of the rate at which the Effect Path will be referenced during play. Range: 1-256, Default: 1 DEPTH Altering this will modify the amount the effect influences the reference audio during play. Range: 0-255, Default: 255 RELATED Instrument Configuration: Overview Side Bar: Cursor Panel Instrument Configuration: Keyboard General: Glossary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- r24012017 Return to the contents page
