- Sync/Acc: the tremolo rate is synchronized with the current project BPM; an accent is
performed every four or three strokes, depending on the selected note length (plain vs
triplets).
[mapped to Key Switch A]
[see MIDI mapping for a real-time control of this parameter through MIDI]
Manual Trem/BowC KS: sets the behavior for the C# Key Switch:
- Trem: K.S. is set to “Manual Tremolo”; a bow change is performed on both note-on and
note-off; the velocity of the Key Switch is ignored.
- Bow.Ch: K.S. is set to “Bow Change”, a bow change is performed just on note-on; the
velocity of the Key Switch influences the accent of the bow stroke.
Double/Hold Str. Selection: sets the preferred pair of strings for bichords.
[mapped to Key Switch B combined with F#, G# and A# - see the Key Switches chart for details]
K.S. Mode (trigg/vel): sets how the Key Switches behave:
- Trigg: a KeySwitch status is selected by quickly triggering the Key Switch for a number of
times corresponding to the position of the status to select. (e.g. Key Switch C – PlayMode:
press the C key one time for “Bow”, press the C key two times for “Pizzicato”, press the C
key three times for “Col Legno”).
- Vel: a Key Switch status is selected in function of the note-on velocity of the Key Switch.
[see the Key Switches chart for details]
K.S. Vel Remap: velocity response remapping for the Key Switches, when the K.S. Mode is set to
“Vel”.
[see the Key Switches chart for details]
KS Oct Transp: KeySwitch Octave Transposition; “0”: no transposition; “-12”: moves the keyswitch
section 1 octave lower; “Off”: disables the Key Switches.
[see the Key Switches chart for details]
Expr. Trigger Mode: when set to “On”: triggers note-on & note-off when the expression controller
goes above or below a certain threshold. This is a very important feature when playing a breath
controller: as with a real instrument, the depressed key only determines the (initial) note played, but
does not trigger it. The note is only actually played when the player blows into the BC device, and
stops when the airflow ceases.
Note: choosing the breath controller preset on the instrument preset menu automatically activates
this mode and sets the expression to CC2.
Expr. Trigger Sens: controls the responsiveness of the attack steepness when “Expr. Trigger Mode”
is active (see above).
Auto/Poly Detect. Time: sets the look-ahead time for the detection of bichords when polyphony is
set to “Auto”. The detection of bichords only happens for staccato notes.
Note: an extra-latency is added to staccato notes when polyphony is set to “Auto”, so it is better to
set it to the smallest possible value.
