Chromatic On/Off:
Activates an automatic chromatic scale during slow portamentos on
larger intervals.
Attack-Exprs Bias:
Modifies the steepness of the attack vs. velocity, depending on
Expression (disabled in wind controller mode).
KS Oct.Transp.:
KeySwitch Octave Transposition; “0”: no transposition; “-12”: moves
the keyswitch section 1 octave lower; “Off” disables the Key Switches.
See also “Keyswitches” below.
Attack Start:
Progressively cuts the attack for a more immediate attack response.
Only by setting this to “0” can the complete original attack be played.
Expr. Trigger Mode:
Triggers note-on & off when the expression controller goes above or
below a certain threshold. This is a very important feature when playing
a breath controller: as with a real instrument, the depressed key only
determines the (initial) note played, but does not trigger it. The note is
only actually played when the player blows into the BC device, and
stops when the airflow ceases. Note: Choosing the breath controller
preset on the instrument preset menu automatically activates this
mode and sets the expression to CC2.
Available options: Off, Normal and Fast. Fast mode (attack modeling)
has less latency than Normal mode (sampled attack).
Expr. Trigger Sens:
Controls the responsiveness of the attack steepness when Expression
Trigger Mode is active (see above).
Max P.B. Range
: set the maximum range for Pitch-Bend Up/Down. Useful for MPE
devices.
Breathy ppp:
Adds a breathy, noisy pianissimo layer useful when playing certain jazzy
style. Acting on this option triggers a complete reload of all audio
resources, so any currently active note will be terminated.
Resources Root Path:
Changes the root path for the plugin Resources (Windows only /
Experts only).
Back to Main:
Returns to the Main GUI.
MIDI mapping:
Opens the MIDI mapping page.
