20.2. SIMPLER 291
setting assigns higher notes a higher LFO rate. If Key is set to zero, all voices' LFOs have
the same rate and may just differ in their phase.
The LFO will modulate the lter, pitch, panorama and volume according to the setting of
the LFO amount controls in each of these sections.
The time taken for the LFO to reach normal level can be set with the Attack control.
20.2.7 Pitch, Pan, Volume and Voices
Simpler plays back a sample at its original pitch if the incoming MIDI note is C3, however the
Transpose control allows transposing this by +/- 48 semitones. Pitch can also be modulated
by an LFO or pitch envelope using the amount controls in this section. The pitch envelope is
especially helpful in creating percussive sounds. Simpler reacts to pitch bend MIDI messages
with a sensitivity of +/- 5 semitones. You can also modulate the Transpose parameter with
clip envelopes and external controllers.
The Voices parameter sets the maximum number of voices that Simpler can play simultane-
ously. If more voices are trying to play than what you have allocated with the Voice control,
voice stealing will take place, in which the oldest voice(s) will be dropped in favor of those
that are new. For example, if your Voices parameter is set to 8, and ten voices are all vying to
be played, the two oldest voices will be dropped. (Simpler does try to make voice stealing
as subtle as possible.) A small LED near the Voices control ashes when a voice has been
stolen.
Panorama can be set with the Pan control, and this control can be further affected by a
random factor or modulated by the LFO.
Finally, the output volume of Simpler is controlled by the Volume control, and can also be
dependent upon note velocity, as adjusted by the Velocity control. Tremolo effects can be
achieved by increasing the inuence of the LFO over volume with the respective control.
