§ SENSITIVITY: This menu allows you to change the way the
re.corder reacts to your breath. Mainly you can modify the
Threshold, to allow for three different ‘forces’ or ‘hardness’.
We suggest to use the default that is a good compromise
between a recorder and other wind instruments. For
musician already playing instruments like saxophones or
clarinets, used to put more force in their breath, it’s possible
to select a High threshold. On the contrary, if you want to
have a softer starting pressure, try the ‘low’ threshold. You
can then select the VELOCITY, that is the MIDI parameter
that tells the sound generator how ‘hard’ you hit the key of
the piano keyboard or you did the initial blow on the
mouthpiece. We suggest to use a fixed velocity around 80 or
90. You can raise or lower this parameter to hear the
modifications in the sound. Keep in mind that the overall
‘intensity’ or ‘volume’ of the sound is directly linked to this
parameter. If you select a very high velocity you will have a
higher volume sound BUT you will loose a part of the
expression range when you modulate your breath pressure!
There is also an AUTO mode (set the velocity to 0 - ZERO)
which manages to detect the initial pressure transient and
