Clicking on the bar graph again will switch detuning off.
Double-clicking anywhere in the bar graph area will switch off detuning for all the notes.
Please note that the above will only work on the main instrument page.
Applying microtuning using key switches
You can also apply microtuning to notes using key switches. To do this you must first go into Select
Note Mode (
SNM
– see below) and then press the appropriate key switches that correspond to the
notes you would like to detune. For example, by pressing the E1 key switch detuning will be applied
to all E notes.
How to enter Select Note Mode (SNM)
SNM is activated by sending a suitable CC value above 64. Which particular CC value you choose is
left up to you: Go to the Option page and enter the desired CC number in the “MicroTuning (ON
OFF)” field. Entering “64” will define the sustain pedal,
which is the most suitable option for this
task
. Pressing and holding down the pedal switches
SNM
on and highlights the key switches (in
blue).
Note:
CC64 (sus pedal) is, by default, assigned to Overblow (see the OPTIONS page, “Overblow
(ON OFF))”. If you are using the sus pedal for Microtuning, Overblow must be assigned to another
controller, or to none, as this can be also controlled by the key switch D1.
How to detune selected notes
1. Enter Select Note Mode (
SNM
) by pressing and holding down the sus pedal (or send a
value greater than 64 via the CC you have assigned for Microtuning); the key switches
will turn blue.
2. Press the key switches (evenly and simultaneously) that correspond to the notes you
want to detune. The detuned notes will be displayed by the microtuning bar graphs in
the Main GUI (see “Microtuning using the mouse” above).
