4.5 THE ARTICULATIONS WINDOW
This window will only appear if an instrument with multiple articulation layers has been
loaded. For Hollywood Strings Opus Edition, that means loading one of the KS Master
instruments that is available for each instrument type.
PLEASE NOTE: KS is short for Keyswitch, a type of instrument that assigns MIDI note
numbers outside the sampled range of notes to select (“trigger”) an articulation for use.
The Articulations window is found by clicking the
PLAY PAGE SELECTOR in the
NAVIGATION BAR , then clicking the ARTICULATIONS WINDOW SELECTOR in the secondary PALETTE MENU .
Articulation Cells
Each articulation layer within an instrument appears as an ARTICULATION CELL .
It contains a LOAD SWITCH in the top-left corner that is used to turn the articulation
on and off, loading it into memory (RAM) when the switch is
oriented to the right, and unloading it from memory when the
switch is oriented to the left. Just below this switch, is the
ARTICULATION NAME .
In the lower-right the TRIGGER ASSIGNMENT is displayed, which selects for (“triggers”)
an articulation based on the selected option in the TRIGGER OPTION MENU . KS Master
instruments load with the ‘Keyswitch’ Trigger Option selected, where each articulation is
selected for (“triggered”) based on its assigned MIDI note number value. Other Trigger
Options are available, and explained further below.
4.5.1 How To Use Trigger Options
To assign or modify a Trigger Option, right-click on a cell to bring up a small pop-up
window. Then, click on the
TRIGGER OPTION MENU and select an
option.
Once a Trigger Option is selected, the pop-up menu will display
the settings for the selected option. Each of these options are
detailed below.
