Shift
Shift allows you to raise or lower all parameter values in the selected region by a
percentage of the parameter’s entire range of values. You can set Shift anywhere from
-50—which reduces the parameters’ values by 50% of the parameter’s entire range—to
50, which increases them by 50%.
GRADATION
GRADATION smooths out Automix data in order to help make transitions between
varying values sound more natural. It does this by forcing the selected Automix data to
conform to a shape, or “gradation curve,” you select.
Set Gradation Curve to the desired shape. You can select:
• Linear —for a flat ascending or descending shape to the selected data.
• Exp+ —for an upward convex exponential curve to the selected data.
• Exp- —for a downward convex exponential curve to the selected data.
Micro-Editing Automix Data
On the AUTOMIX EDIT screen, press F4 (MICRO) to display the AUTOMIX MICRO
EDIT screen.
You can shift a value only within its parameter’s stated range. Once a parameter has
reached its minimum or maximum value, Shift has no further affect on its value.
You can use Compression/Expansion and Shift together. The selected Automix data is
compressed or expanded first, and then the Shift value is subtracted from or added to
the resulting values.
