CORD amounts for Pitch modulations translating musically?

Postby dugawug » Sun Jan 11, 2004 7:03 pm

hey all,
i was wondering if anyone knew how CORD amounts effected pitch in terms of half step/wholesteps/octave translation. that kind of thing. so if i want to route a modulator to turn something up (or down) a full octave for example, what CORD amount will do this?
does anyone have this info?

In the manual, p.268, it says "references to musical intervals in the pattern LFO shapes are with the LFO routed to pitch and a Cord amount of +38"

I'm not sure exactly what this means :mrgreen: , but it may provide some help.

Sorry, it's too early for me to think straight :spliff:

course tuning, +/- 1 equals 1 half step.

fine tuning (depending on how you have this set up, i believe you can change this in tuning) +/-64 equals 1 half step.

in the chords section:

shoot, i am going to have to run this again, i use to have the percentage and all recorded, but now i can't really remember. for some reason, i feel that the six percent on the pitch chord is actualy equal to a whole step, 3 percent would be a half step, that then would make an octave 36 percent. i am using chromatic scale here instead. i think this is correct actually.
so that would make the fine pitch chord valued at a half step at 50 and a whole step at 100 percent.

i believe that i am correct on this, but i am going to have to test this out again. you know the whole self doubt thing.

so basicaully if you wanted to pitch a source up, in a major scale, the values you would want to hit would be. 6 percent from the tonic to the supertonic, 6 percent from supertonic to mediant, 3 percent to go from mediant to sub dominate, 6 percent from subdominate to dominate, 6 percent to dominate to sub mediant, 6 percent from sub mediant to your leading tone, then 3 percent from your leading tone to your tonic again.

thus adding up to 36 percent.

i hope this helps, and i hope i remembered this correctly.
