Chapter 5: Melody Embellisher34

Normally the embellishment occurs live when the song is playing, and doesn't

affect the Melody permanently. But if you like the Embellishment, and want to

apply it permanently to the Melody, you can choose the “Make Current

Embellishment Permanent” option.

If the song is not currently playing, you can still create an embellishment and

have it apply permanently by pressing the [Embellish NOW – Permanent]

button.

The original Melody is not permanently affected unless you have pressed the

[Embellish NOW – permanent] button. If you have done this, and want to

restore the original Melody, you can press the [Restore Original Melody]

button.

The Embellisher is usually referred to as the Melody Embellisher, because

you'll usually want to have it affecting the Melody track. But if you'd prefer it

to affect the Soloist track, you can choose the Soloist track as the Embellisher

track.

Embellisher Settings

The Settings contain a number of parameters that affect the embellishment.

They can be turned on and off, and can be set with a certain percentage

strength. The settings are:

Humanize

The velocities, durations (legato), and timing of the notes are humanized. The

original velocities etc. of the notes are ignored. This is useful when the melody

has been entered in a stiff manner.

Octave

The octave of the Melody is changed to the best octave for the current Melody

instrument. For example, if the instrument is a piccolo, the octave would be

raised to the best range for a piccolo. There is an additional setting for the

octave in the “More” settings dialog.
