Studio Horns common extended parameters
The following parameters apply to solo or section instruments.
• Vibrato Controller pop-up menu: Choose a MIDI controller to adjust vibrato.
• Manual Vibrato Mode pop-up menu: Choose a vibrato response curve for incoming MIDI
controller data. Choices are Off, Normal, Slow, Fast, Gentle, and Expressive.
Note: This affects manually controlled vibrato only.
• Dynamic Controller pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI controller used to adjust an
instrument’s dynamics (soft-loud) while a note is playing. This function requires the
Dynamics via CC button in the main interface to be turned on.
• Dynamic Controller Mode pop-up menu: Choose a mode to determine assigned MIDI
controller behavior and instrument response to incoming velocity data.
• Controller (Absolute): Dynamics are controlled only by the absolute value of the
assigned MIDI controller.
• Velocity & Controller (Catch): Dynamics are controlled both by incoming velocity
data and by the value of the assigned MIDI controller when it matches any existing
controller value. For example, a MIDI control knob with a value of 15 has no impact
on dynamic behavior until it reaches a velocity value of 47 in an existing region. Once
this controller value is reached, the assigned MIDI control knob will have an impact
on instrument dynamics.
• Velocity & Controller (Relative): Dynamics are controlled by both incoming velocity
data and by the value of the assigned MIDI controller, relative to any existing
controller value. For example, a MIDI control knob with a value of 15 will immediately
impact dynamic behavior, relative to the existing velocity value. Adjusting a knob
with a value of 15 to a value of 18 will adjust an existing velocity value of 47 to a
value of 50.
• Legato Transitions checkbox: Turn on to enable legato transition samples for both
monophonic and polyphonic modes, enhancing the realism of instruments played in a
legato style.
• Release Samples slider and field: Set the volume of release samples. Release samples,
as the name suggests, are triggered when you release a key. These allow for a natural-
sounding decay in sustained articulations, for example. If a low release sample value is
set, the sound may cut off abruptly, which can sound unnatural.
• Pitch Bend Range slider and field: Determine the range for pitch bend modulation. This
is bipolar, with a range of ±12 semitones.
• Extended Key Range checkbox: Turn on to allow the instrument (or instruments in a
section) to play beyond its normal key range.
• When off, the instrument (or instruments in a section) plays in the original key range.
This is the default, and should be used if you are aiming for authentic-sounding
performances.
• When on, the instrument uses the full keyboard range, allowing you to create
parts that extend beyond the realistic range of the instrument (or instruments in a
section).
