• Selector pop-up menu: Determines which specific value of the MIDI message chosen
in the Type column triggers the articulation. For example, if you chose Note On in the
Type column, here is where you would choose the specific note for the keyswitch. If you
chose Controller in the Type column, you would choose the specific controller number.
If you choose Program, Aftertouch, or Pitch Bend in the Type column, there will be no
Selector value.
• Value Start slider: Defines the low end of the range for the controller switches. For Note
On/Off messages, this relates to velocity values.
• Value End slider: Defines the high end of the range for the controller switches. For Note
On/Off messages, this relates to velocity values.
• Mode pop-up menu: Selects between different switch modes. These different switch
modes exist in order to support both variations in your playing style and special
articulation features.
• Permanent: Switches to the selected articulation, which will then be used for all
subsequent notes until another articulation is selected. This is useful for the main
(standard) articulations such as Sustain, Staccato, and other common playing
techniques.
• Permanent (Retrigger): Stops the currently sounding note and retriggers it
immediately with the newly selected articulation. The new articulation will be used
for all the following notes until another articulation is selected.
• Permanent (Trigger): Immediately applies the newly selected articulation to the
currently playing note. As soon as the switch is disengaged all notes are stopped.
This is useful to trigger falls, doits, and so on, at the end of a musical phrase.
• Momentary: Activates the keyswitch only while the switch is within its defined
Value range. For Note On or Note Off articulations this means the articulation
switches only while the key is depressed or released respectively; for controllers the
articulation is selected as long as the value is within the value start and end range.
This is useful for articulations you only want to use for one note or a very short
passage such as growls, trills, and so on.
• Momentary (Retrigger): Stops the current note and retriggers it immediately with
the selected articulation while the switch is within its defined Value range. For Note
On or Note Off articulations this means the articulation switches only while the key
is depressed or released respectively; for controllers the articulation is selected as
long as the value is within the value start and end range.
• Momentary (Trigger): Immediately applies the newly selected articulation to the
currently playing note while the switch is within its defined Value range. As soon as
the switch is disengaged all notes are stopped. This is useful to trigger falls, doits,
and so on, at the end of a musical phrase.
• Toggle: Activates the selected articulation when the switch is engaged. When the
switch is engaged again it reactivates the previous articulation. This is useful when
you want to toggle between two articulations, such as sustained notes and palm
muting.
• Toggle (Retrigger): Stops the currently sounding note and retriggers it immediately
with the newly selected articulation. When the switch is engaged again it reactivates
the previous articulation.
