20.3. OPERATOR 302

20.3.6 Global Controls

The maximum number of Operator voices (notes) playing simultaneously can be adjusted

with the Voices parameter in the global display. Ideally, one would want to leave this setting

high enough so that no voices would be turned off while playing, however a setting between

6 and 12 is usually more realistic when considering CPU power.

Tip: Some sounds should play monophonically by nature, which means that they should

only use a single voice. (A ute is a good example.) In these cases, you can set Voices to 1.

If Voices is set to 1, another effect occurs: Overlapping voices will be played legato, which

means that the envelopes will not be retriggered from voice to voice, and only pitch will

change.

A high quality setting (HiQ) can be switched on and off in the global display, controlling the

interpolation algorithm of the oscillators and LFO. This setting will affect the sound of some

waveforms more than others (especially the noise waveform) and also affects CPU resources.

Global Volume and Transpose controls for the instrument can be found in the global section

of the shell, and a Pan control is located in the global section's display. Pan can be modulated

by a random factor or by note pitch, using the adjacent Rnd and Key controls, respectively.

MIDI pitch bend messages will affect Operator as dened by the PB Range control in the

pitch section of the display.
