How to save your microtuning settings
Microtuning settings — except those done “on the fly” with key switches — can be stored and
loaded as instrument presets using the Save/Load buttons in the instrument GUI.
Key switches
Some parameters of SWAM instruments can also be triggered by the key switches C, C# and D (this
includes E and F for the Flutes). If there is an overlap in the instrument range after transposition, the
key switches can be moved down one octave using the “KS Oct. Transp.” parameter (see Options
page).
•
C
triggers a short fall.
•
C#
switches between two legato modes: Gliss and Expr; see “Advanced Parameters” on
page 13.
•
D
triggers a “squeak” (a short overblow on attack) or a continuous overblow, depending on
the timing and velocity:
-
A
low KS velocity triggers a squeak (if the KS is pressed before note-on).
-
A
higher KS velocity plays a continuous overblow (if the KS is pressed before note-on).
• The latter can be also applied after note-on (in the middle of a tone) if CC11 is above 60.
•
D#
behaves like D in latch mode.
Flutes only:
•
E
triggers the Alternate Fingering
•
F
behaves like E in latch mode.
The key switches are colored red in the instrument GUI.
