User manual

The Switches table comprises the following:
1
Type column: Displays the switch type. Switches can be any of the following types:
● Base
● Add-on
● Init
2 Name column: Displays the name of the switch. By default, this is the same as the playback
technique or playback technique combination it triggers.
In simple cases, each switch triggers an individual playback technique, such as Staccato
or Accent. However, some plug-ins have separate samples for different combinations of
playback techniques. For example, Staccato + Accent might require a separate set of key
switches to
Staccato and Accent individually.
