Global Interpretive Settings
|
Hierarchic Pulse
|
Hierarchic Pulse configuration, on three time scales, controlling the relative amplitudes and durations of pulse components. Up to 16 x 16 x 16 pulse components making a repeated pulse array.
|
Predictive
Note Shaping
|
Basic amplitude contour shape of notes set with two parameters (Beta functions). Can set different basic shapes for different voices. Changes in this shape effected by algorithm looking ahead at the pitch and time of next note, and modifying present note shape accordingly. As a result every note receives its own distinctive shape, degree of differences settable.
|
Organic
Vibrato
|
Amplitude, frequency, placement, and rise and fall shape of the vibrato is organically and predictively designed by SuperConductor for each note, according to melodic structure.
|
Balance, Panning and Delay
|
Individual level and placement in sound space for each instrument
|
Pitch Crescendo
|
Adjustable scaling of loudness vs. pitch for all instruments and voices.
|
Piano Damper Control
|
Settable both for instrumental style (Mozart vs. Brahms piano for example), and for subtle phrasing distinctions: changes in legato and staccato with phrasing and articulation, automatically adjustable. Usable for harpsichord as well.
|
Reverberation
|
Adjustable mix, reverb time, first reflection time, number of reflections, reflectivity, frequency response, left and right delays.
|
| Self-Tuning Expressive Intonation |
Dynamic melodic tuning in which tomes are given small specific pitch increments to their equal temperament values depending on context. |
|
|
Sectional Settings
|
Crescendo
Decrescendo
|
Terraced or curvilinear dynamic adjustment. Curve shapes settable as subtle power functions. All voices, groups of voices, or individual voices. Start and end at any note.
|
Accelerando
Ritardando
|
Terraced or curvilinear adjustment, curvilinear control similar as in crescendo function. Adjustable Pulse enlargement during ritard, resulting in distinctive ritards for Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Schubert etc., a unique feature. Crescendo-diminuendo function linked with ritard as convenience.
|
Note: Amplitude Shaping, Vibrato, and Pitch Crescendo may also be used for ranges of bars, and instruments. |
|
|
Individual Note Settings
|
| All of the above parameters (Amplitude shape, vibrato, overall amplitude and duration) may be set for notes individually, but this is rarely necessary due to the effective nature of the global settings. |
