Content :
The white keys
Inside the playable area, loops are laid out on the white keys. There are between two and four loops per bell per feel per meter per tempo… breath in…. and the number of colored keys will change when you change any of the settings, depending on how many are available for that particular setting.
The black keys
The black keys will trigger the round robins available for your particular bell, there are either two or three black keys assigned per bell, depending on where they are on the keyboard.
ITM on/off
Sonokinetic’s own Intelligent tempo mapping will make sure that your reindeer stays in sync no matter how hard you push them to deliver the gifts. With ITM on it will, in extreme tempi, choose the nearest doubling/halving of the tempo, resulting in a stretch factor that is never higher than 20%, improving the audio fidelity. If you do want to have frantically fast or really slow sleigh bells, turn off ITM with either the button or the C#6 keyswitch.
End hit or no end hit
By clicking this control, or using the assigned keyswitches on D#6 and E6, you can set the instrument to play one of the round robin notes when you release a loop as an end hit.
Meter
Set the meter corresponding to the meter of your song, there is a slight difference of emphasis between the 3 4 and 4 4 jingling.
All trot / All gallop
This control toggles trot and gallop for all bells.
