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 eects. Because of this, certain instru-
ments will have more Keyswitches than others. e keyswitch labels will also vary to reect the proper
terms for the instrument’s articulations and eects ( 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 eects 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.
