Glide, also known as portamento, determines the amount of time it takes for a pitch to glide from the current note to the next note played. This effect is commonly found on synthesizers.
Glide is adjustable from a low of 0.0% (no glide) to a high of 100% (maximum glide). A setting of 100% will take the longest time to travel from the current note to the next note played. The effect is also dependent on the interval (distance of pitch) between the two notes: The larger the interval, the more noticeable the effect.
Bend Range sets the maximum interval of pitch bend that can be applied to Bruno with a MIDI controller’s pitch bend wheel. This control is adjustable from 0 semitones (no bend) to 12 semitones (1 octave).
Master Tune can be used to tune the pitch of Bruno’s output to another instrument. By default, this control is set to 440.0 Hz It can be adjusted from a low of 430.0 Hz to a high of 450.0 Hz.
Detuning is a common sound-thickening technique used on synthesizers and many effects devices. Bruno’s Detune Amount control sets the maximum amount of pitch detuning that occurs when multiple voices are stacked together using Voice Stacking. Using a combination of voice stacking and detuning, you can create timbres that are exceptionally fat.
Voices can be detuned up to 50.0 cents. (One cent is equal to 1/100th of a semitone.)
Detune Velocity controls how MIDI key velocity affects voice detuning. This gives you velocity-sensitive control over voice detuning when you play Bruno with a MIDI keyboard.
This control is adjustable from a low of 0.0 cents (no velocity-sensitive detuning) to a high of 50.0 cents (maximum velocity-sensitive detuning).
If Detune Velocity is set to 0.0 cents, detuning will not change no matter how hard you strike a key on your MIDI controller. Conversely, if you set Detune Velocity to 50.0 cents, a hard strike will detune voices a maximum of 50.0 cents (in addition to the detuning specified with the Detune Amount control).
