Keyscale button: When Keyscale is enabled, parameters can be set for notes that fall
below C3, or notes that are positioned above it. In simple terms, the impact of these
parameters can be controlled across the keyboard range. For example, a parameter
such as string stiffness could be more intense for high notes and less intense for low
notes. In practical terms, this would result in more harmonic (sweeter) sounding bass
notes, and inharmonic overtones in treble notes (notes above C3).
Release button: When Release is enabled, you can set string Release parameters, which
affect the vibrations of the string after the key is released.
Hide button: Hides several parameters, simplifying the interface and making it impossible
to perform accidental Key Scale or Release parameter changes.
