Note FX
Note
General information
Note is the default Note FX, active on every fresh instrument. It handles all the basic per-instrument note shaping that the older "Scale quantizer" page used to cover: voice mode, scale quantization, transpose, glide, drift and per-voice spread for unison patches. With Scale set to Off (the default), notes pass through unquantized — only transpose, glide, drift and spread still apply.
The Note FX has 3 tabs: VOICE (voice mode and per-voice modulation behaviour), SCALE (transpose, scale and root note) and OFFSET (per-voice transpose offsets — useful in Unison and Poly modes).
VOICE tab
| Mode | Glide | Spread | Drift |
| Selects the voice allocation mode. The choices depend on the instrument's voice count: a 1-voice (mono) instrument exposes Mono / Legato; a multi-voice (poly) instrument exposes Unison, Uni.Leg (unison + legato) and Poly. | Glide time between consecutive notes (0–100%). At 0 there is no glide; higher values give a longer pitch slide. | Per-voice detune for Unison and Uni.Leg modes (0–100%). At 0 every voice plays the exact same pitch; raising it spreads the voices apart in semitones for a thicker unison sound. Has no effect in Poly modes. | Random pitch offset applied per note in Poly mode (0–100%). At 0 each voice is in tune; raising it adds slight per-note random detune for a less mechanical feel. Has no effect in Unison modes. |
SCALE tab
| Transpose | Scale | RootNote | |
| Global pitch offset in semitones (-48 to +48) applied to every voice of the instrument. | Selects the scale used to quantize incoming notes. Off (default) bypasses quantization. 17 other scales are available — see Scales below. | Root note of the scale (12 chromatic notes). Sets where the scale's root sits relative to MIDI note 0. |
Scales
| Scale | Notes |
| Off | Quantization disabled — notes pass through chromatically. |
| Chrom. | Chromatic — all 12 semitones. |
| Pent.Min. · Pent.Maj. | Pentatonic minor and pentatonic major. |
| Major · Aeolian | Major and natural minor (Aeolian). |
| Harm.Min. · Melo.Min. | Harmonic minor and melodic minor. |
| Lydian · Mixoly. · Dorian · Phrygian · Locrian · Sup.Loc. | Modal scales (Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Phrygian, Locrian, Super Locrian). |
| Blues | Blues scale. |
| Augmen. | Augmented scale. |
| Gypsy · Persian | Gypsy and Persian scales. |
OFFSET tab
The OFFSET tab exposes one parameter per voice — labelled Voice 1 through Voice 6 depending on the instrument's voice count — in semitones (-48 to +48). Use it to give each voice its own pitch offset, for example to pre-tune a Unison spread to specific intervals, or to add a detuned octave on top of a Poly chord.
The tab paginates: instruments with up to 4 voices show all 4 transpose knobs on a single page. Instruments with more voices add a second page for the remaining ones.
Voice N values are added on top of Transpose (the global semitone offset on the SCALE tab). Modulating a per-voice transpose lets you build evolving harmonisations from a single input note.
