Tremolo
Auto-tremolo
Just selects if you want a “Slow” tremolo or a “Fast” tremolo. If the “Tremolo Mode” is set to “Sync”
or “Sync/Acc”, the tremolo will be synchronized with the project tempo (BPM). Custom accents can
be performed by acting on the expression (expression “spikes” on the desired strokes).
Manual-tremolo
Be sure that the “Manual Trem/BowC KS” option is set to “Trem”; press and release the Key Switch
C# while playing the notes; a bow-change is performed at both note-on and note-off.
You can adjust the “BowPressure” in order to obtain a smooth or hard tremolo.
Bowing
Set the Gesture Mode to Bowing and move your expression controller back and forth.
Crescendo
Standard Crescendo: Cresendo is performed acting just on the Expression, starting from a low value
and increasing it as desired.
Wider Crescendo: A wider effect can be obtained mapping the Bow Pressure parameter to the same
CC that controls the Expression (see “MIDI mapping Page”, page 16). For example:
- Expression: CC 11 – Min = 0, Max = 127
- Bow Pressure: CC 11 – Min = 55, Max = 80
-
Start “from nothing” (fade-in): set the Expression to zero, hit the key with a very low value of the
velocity (under MIDI value 10), increase the Expression as desired.
