Playing Direction
The playing direction feature lets you assign the playback of a Section or Alternate depending on the
playing direction on your keyboard.
• Upwards & Downwards: The selected Section/Alternate always gets played.
• Upwards: The selected Section/Alternate only gets played, if the next coming note is above the
prior one.
• Downwards: The selected Section/Alternate only gets played, if the next coming note is below the
prior one.
This feature combined with the Tune Model lets you individually assign which note should create an
additional tune and when the note should do it.
Additionally you can use „playing direction“ to assign a duplication of notes to your keyboard.
Filters
Meanwhile filters is a very common item and their function needn‘t get explained more detailed.
Nevertheless the Independence filters has been extended by some additional features. To activate the
filters please click on the „bypass“ button to the left of the filter headline and click on the pull-down
menu to select a filter with its properties:
Among the pristine sound you can use the spot inside the 2D panel to edit both parameters,
frequency cutoff and resonance, simultaneously. This is very useful in practice but of course you can
also edit both parameters individually in their input fields.
The special feature of this filter section is the „absolute“ function. Here an example what it does:
If you activate filters for an entire Layer patch, the settings will always affect all included Sections
and Alternates. Additionally to these general settings you can select one or multiple Sections or
Alternates and assign custom frequency cutoff and resonance values exclusively to this selection.
Independence will then „add“ these individual values to the general values of the entire Layer and
recalculate new values internally (relative).
If you, on the other hand, want to „separate“ your current selection from the general Layer filter
settings and assign individual filter types and settings to your selected Sections or Alternates, click
the „abs.“ button. Now the general Layer filter setting get ignored for your entire selection.
