K2000/2500 Mono Pressure To Pitch of a Specific Layer

An inSync reader asks: “On a K2000/2500 how do you assign mono Pressure to bend the Pitch of a particular Layer in a Program? This must NOT affect the other Layers of the Program. If I can have either Mono Pressure or Continuous Foot Control (or better yet, both) bend ONLY the Pitch of Layer 3, I will have created my masterpiece Tabla patch!” Once again we called upon the “vast” resource of Kurzweil programming knowledge, Daniel Fisher.As in all things VAST there are several ways to do this. Here’s the easiest: On Layer 3, go to the Pitch Page and assign MPress to Src1.§Set the Depth to the desired value. “Ta-Da!” Done. Now, if you also want Continuous Foot Control (CC#4) to do the same thing, you can create an “a+b” FUN that has MPress and Foot combined and then assign that FUN to Src1 in the Pitch Page.Or, for separate Depths on MPress and Foot, leave MPress in Src1 and additionally assign Foot to Src2’s DptCtl. Make Src2 be “On” and set Src2’s MaxDpt to the desired value. Done!As a final touch, you may want to run MPress through a Lowpass FUN to smooth out the Pitch bending a little. (It will keep your Tabla’s pitch from jumping back to zero too quickly.)Good luck with your masterpiece.
