Keyswitch
KS Master instruments load with the ‘Keyswitch’ Trigger Option set by default.
KS is an abbreviation for Keyswitch, a type of instrument that uses MIDI note numbers
between C-2 and G8 to select (“trigger”) articulations for use.
Click in the
KEYSWITCH TRIGGER MENU to enter the desired MIDI note
number field to enter the desired note, or use the up or down arrows
to increment up or down the range.
To exit, click anywhere outside of the pop-up menu.
Once defined, KEYSWITCH TRIGGER ASSIGNMENTS appears in the lower-right corner of
each articulation cell.
Each of these KEYSWITCH TRIGGER NOTES appears on the Virtual Keyboard colored blue
(or yellow when currently active), and is located outside the playable range of notes that
appear in white. Simply play or program an articulation’s Keyswitch Trigger to select
it for use.
Keyswitch Range
This Trigger Option is for using keyswitch instruments in addition to individual in-
struments. If a key is hit within the
KEYSWITCH RANGE ASSIGNMENTS that instrument
becomes activated. The PASS THRU OPTION ensures that the
keyswitch in the underlying instrument is activated. Use the
OFFSET VALUE to allow the use of a different key range then what
the underlying instrument uses.
Program Change
This Trigger Option uses MIDI Program Change messages to select (“trigger”) articu-
lations for use.
To define a program change number, enter a value between 1
and 128 into the
PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER FIELD , or use the up and
down arrows to increment through the value range.
PLEASE NOTE: Refer to the documentation for your preferred DAW
(sequencer) for instructions on how to send program changes messages, as each handles
this differently.
