Chapter 5 Work in Edit mode 44
•
Pop/Jazz (3/5/7-all): 5ths, 3rds, and 7ths are changed in this mode. It is great for Pop and Jazz
styles, especially when using sustained chords. It is less suitable for polyphonic music because
the detuning of the natural 7th is signicant. This mode should always be used with a Depth
of 90% or 100% because other values will render the natural 7th acoustically ineective.
•
Baroque (3/5-adaptive): This mode tunes pure 5ths and 3rds (with changing characteristics). In
tonal music, with a clear harmonic center, the middle chords are tuned very purely, whereas
more distant chords are tuned with less purity. If the harmonic center becomes unclear, all
chords are tuned with equal purity. As with the other mode parameters, a Depth value of
100% determines the highest purity, and a value of 10%, the lowest purity.
m Depth slider: Drag to set the degree of eect between 0% and 100%.
Edit User Tuning parameters
m When User Tuning is chosen, edit any of the following parameters:
•
Semitone boxes: Detune each semitone in steps, by dragging vertically in each semitone box
until you reach the value you want. Alternately, you can double-click in each semitone box,
and enter a value. Press Return or click in another box to exit text entry mode.
•
Reset button: Resets all of your tuning adjustments to their default values.
•
Upper slider: Determines the deviation (from the equal tempered scale) in the treble end of the
sound. The higher the value, the farther down the low notes are tuned. A setting of 0 results in
an equal tempered scale tuning.
•
Stretch Lower slider: Determines the deviation (from the equal tempered scale) in the bass end
of the sound. The higher the value, the further down the low notes are tuned. A setting of 0
results in an equal tempered scale tuning.
•
Root Key pop-up menu: Allows you to choose a global key (C-B) for the chosen scale. This
provides an easy way to reference the chosen scale to any root note.
