In-Key Pitch Bend; X-Y Pad - CAKEWALK Z3TA+ 2.1 Bedienungsanleitung

In-key pitch bend

In-key pitch bend is a performance feature that allows you to bend chords and have each note in a
chord bend to a valid scale note.
This smart bend mode dynamically adjusts the up/down range, per-voice, based on the selected
scale. For example, some notes may transpose a half step while others transpose a whole step, etc.
The Bend Range setting specifies how many scale degrees to bend a note by. With a value of 1,
Z3TA+ will bend all notes to the next degree in the scale. With a value of 2, Z3TA+ will bend up two
degrees, or the second in-key note available, and so on. With a value of 0, the pitch wheel will only
affect notes that are not native to the selected key, bending them up or down to the next available in-
key note.
Tip: By setting the bend range to zero, you effectively make it impossible to play a “"sour”" note while
the pitch wheel is engaged. Any out-of-key notes are automatically bent up or down to a valid note in
the selected scale.

X-Y Pad

Figure 13. X-Y Pad
Windows version only: The X-Y Pad will respond to joystick movements if a joystick is connected
and configured in Windows Control Panel. To enable/disable joystick support, click the JOYSTICK
ENABLE button.
The X-Y Pad allows you to modulate any pair of parameters on Z3TA+ by using the mouse or
Trackpad (OSX). The parameters are assigned via the Source column in the Modulation Matrix (see
“"The Modulation Matrix”" on page 38).
Right-clicking on it causes random movement, useful for sample-and-hold-like effects.
The position of the X-Y Pad is saved in the program, and all movements can be recorded as
automation in all hosts supporting direct parameters automation.
X-Y Pad X and Y movements can be MIDI-learned by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking the
X-Y Pad. For more information about MIDI Learn, see “"MIDI Learn”" on page 64.
