In contemporary performance practice, trills are usually performed starting on the written note,

while in the historical performance practice of the Baroque and Classical eras, trills are usually

performed starting on the upper (trilled-to) note. You can change the default starting pitch for

trills individually.

Sampled vs. generated trills

Sampled trills are recorded, looped samples, whereas generated trills are produced by manually

triggering separate notes.

Because they use xed sounds, sampled trills typically offer no parameters that allow any kind

of variation in the trill interpretation, such as different trill speeds or incorporating grace notes

and termination notes into the pattern of trilled notes. By contrast, generated trills can provide

greater

exibility but produce a less natural and realistic sound.

Changing the playback speeds of trills

In addition to changing the speed of trills, which changes both the frequency of wiggles in their

extension lines and their playback speed, you can also change the playback speed of each speed

variant in individual trills, for example, if you want to make the fastest part of an individual trill

faster than your default setting.

PROCEDURE

1. Select the trills whose playback speeds you want to change.

2. In the Properties panel, activate any of the following properties, as appropriate for your

selected trills:

● Slow trill speed

● Normal trill speed

● Fast trill speed

3. Change the values in the value elds.

RESULT

The playback speed of the selected trills is changed. The values in the value elds correspond to

the number of notes sounding per second.
