4.2.10 Performance
The Performance section contains several performance scripts that changes the sample
playback behavior of an instrument in various ways. Some are best applied particular
instruments to achieve certain effects, while others only appear when an instrument
programmed with a particular script
is loaded.
How to Automate Scripts
In addition to simply clicking on the
user interface to activate a perfor-
mance script, they can also be con-
trolled by sending MIDI Continuous
Controller (CC) data to the specified
controller lane.
MIDI CCs can be written directly into the sequencer of your DAW, allowing you to pro-
gram a piece with specific commands, as well as be assigned to the knobs and sliders of
a MIDI controller, allowing play and record controller movements in real-time.
Use the MIDI CC number that is assigned to a script, and send controller data between
the values listed in the table below to automate that script. If no MIDI CC value is pres-
ent, the script retains its default setting.

Each script is described in detail in the paragraphs below, including how the script af-
fects sample playback, and how automate it using MIDI Continuous Controllers (CCs).
Portamento
This performance script emulates portamento playing by forcing monophonic playback,
and forming a continuous pitch slide from one note to another. You can make this effect
more or less pronounced by adjusting the ‘Time’ knob in the Performance section, which
can also be controlled by sending values on a scale between 0 (least pronounced) and
127 (most pronounced) to MIDI CC 5.
If you wish to have two concurrent legato lines played by the same instrument, a second
instance of that instrument should be loaded. However, if your writing calls for both le-
