A problem some Casio owners may be able to clear up for me... The EG on the DCO for a Casio CZ has levels from 0 to 99, where a level of 0 gives no pitch offset and a level of 66 gives a two-octave offset. Armed with this, I guessed that 33 would be an octave and 99 three octaves....but no, it appears to be logarithmic rather than linear. A level of 99 is in dog-whistle territory. Has anyone come across (or tabulated) a cross-reference of levels versus pitch offset?

One octave is at 66. Up to there, 1 step corresponds to 1/6 of a semitone, i.e., 6 steps is a semitone. From 66 on up, the steps are quite a bit larger, I think 6 steps to the *octave*. This gets you another 5 and a bit octaves up to 99. (I'm wondering why it's 66 (6*11) steps rather than 72 (6*12), but it's Monday morning and my computational neurons are still asleep...) I have the full mapping written down someplace, but if you were familiar with my home "filing system" you'd give up right now on me ever finding it in less than a month. len. |
