Options for the Sustain and Sustain Pick Articulations

For the sustain or sustain pick articulations, you can use automatic transitions that are used

when applicable.

Auto Legato

Activate this option to use legato transitions between consecutive notes that are

played legato.

When playing a real electric bass, legato is achieved not by plucking or picking a

string again, but either by placing another nger on the string (hammer on) or by

pulling the nger from the string while the note still plays (pull off). Both actions

must be distinct enough to trigger the new note. Auto Legato emulates this

behavior.

If you play legato notes and the rst note is still held when you release the second

note, the rst legato note is retriggered.

NOTE

Auto Legato is applied if the second note is within a range of 3 semitones and within

the current hand position.

Auto Slide

Activate this option to slide from one note to the next when playing notes legato.

NOTE

Auto Slide is applied if the second note is more than 3 semitones away and within

the current hand position.

NOTE

To force a slide between two notes, press B -1 on your MIDI keyboard before playing

the note. This works if it is physically possible to play a slide, that is, to stay on the

same string.
