57A User’s Guide to Garritan World Instruments
Note:
e Keyswitch assignments will vary between some of the instruments in each category, depending on
whether or not they are capable of producing the articulations and eects. Because of this, certain instru-
ments will have more Keyswitches than others. e keyswitch labels will also vary to reect the proper
terms for the instrument’s articulations and eects ( e.g., hits, plucks, tremolo, bisbigliando, etc.).
5. Additional Performance Controls
In addition to the four basic controls, there are many other ways you can ne-tune your World In-
struments performances.
Pitch Bend Wheel: is control can be used to bend the pitch of a note at its start or while
it is sustaining. It is especially useful for trombone and guitar. For wind instruments, the
pitchbend range is limited to +/-2 semitones to give the user subtle control over scoops,
bends, and other important eects while avoiding such artifacts as formant displacement. Note that
the Notation folder instruments have a consistent pitchbend range of +/-12 semitones for compati-
bility with various notation programs.
