Articulation Boxes – Immediately below the title text of the instrument are 3 central boxes. In each field, you can select and upload an articulation. Since there are 3 blocks, you can load up to 3 articulations per preset “slot”.
Articulation Box Threshold – Between the three fields of articulation is the threshold of sensitivity. It regulates the movement between 3 boxes. For example, if “Vertical Mode” is set to “Velocity” and the keystroke is between 0 and 80, you will play the bottommost box, 81-109 the middle box, and 110-127 will play the top box.
Horizontal Mode – Controls access to preset “slots”. The most common mode is “keyswitches” although you can use any other midi CC between each slot.
Virtual Mode – Controls how you move between fields of articulation. For example, if it’s set to “Velocity”, you can use keystrokes to play different “articulation fields”. Depending on how you like to work, you may choose a different MIDI controller method.
Slots – One “slot” is essentially a preset of 3 “slots of articulations”. You can have up to 20 “slots”. The big grid in the middle of the interface shows how many “slots” are in use and which one is selected at any given time.
KSW – allows you to set the starting note for your “keyswitch” group mapping. For example, if set to C0, the first switch will start with C0 and the rest will follow chromatically.
Legato ON – As an experiment, we added a SIPS script to create a fake legato. This is more of a bonus feature, but it can be useful for more melodic lines.
