SWAM Solo Strings v2.1.0 - User Manual – rev. 1 25
The “Temperament” slider, if set higher than zero, applies a kind of “spread intonation”:
- It does not affect the pitch in the middle of the instrument.
- The higher the pitch, the more upward detuning is applied.
- The lower the pitch, the more downward detuning is applied.
This means that the overall intonation of the instrument can be further “spaced apart” to produce
special effects.
Applying microtuning using the mouse
This is the simplest method and is suitable for settings that do not need to be changed “on the fly”.
To detune a specific pitch, simply click on the microtuning bar in the main instrument GUI. This will
apply detuning (set on the Options page by the microtuning sliders) to the chosen note (which is B
in the example below):
- Clicking on the bar graph again will switch detuning off.
- Double-clicking anywhere in the bar graph area will switch off detuning for all the notes.
Please note that the above will only work on the main instrument page.
Applying microtuning using key switches
You can also apply microtuning to notes using key switches. To do this you must first go into Select
Note Mode (SNM – see below) and then press the appropriate key switches that correspond to the
notes you would like to detune. For example, by pressing the E1 key switch detuning will be applied
to all E notes.
