TO SETUP

Legato Mode | Slides | Probability:
If it’s not possible to play a legato articulation like a hammer on or a pull off,

because you setup “

MAx RANGE”, “MAx coNSEcUtIVE” or “MAx tIME

DIffERENcE” in a way that limits those articulations, a slide is played

instead if you changed the “

Legato <> Range” knob to slide. For example: if

you play E2 followed by G2 and you set “

Max Range” for hammer ons to 2,

a slide up will be played instead. The “

Probability” settings allows you to

setup how often a slide is randomly played. If no slide is played, the start

articulation is used instead.

LEGAto MoDE | tRANSItIoN
The transition parameters allow you to setup the way the legato engine is

connected to the legato samples for each articulation (

Hammer ons, Pull

offs, Slide 1 fret and Slide 2 frets). “By Legato AI” means that an

articulation is automatically selected by the legato logic. “

By Keyswitch”

means that you activated an articulation via keyswitch.

transition | x-fade:
The “

fade In” parameter allows you to setup how much the new note is

crossfaded with the last note. Lower values add more attack, higher values

result in a smoother transition.

transition | time | LoVel
transition | time | HiVel:
The “

time” parameter allows you to setup how much of the transition

portion in the sample is played. Lower values result in a more direct

response, while higher values will add more of a glide effect. You can setup

different values for notes played with low velocity and for notes played with

high velocity.

Legato | transient:
With the “

transient” setting you can smoothen a transition (an example

would be a hammer on to a pull off) or you can add more attack. Lower

attack settings will result in a smoother sound while higher attack settings

will add more attack. The sustain parameter allows you to extend or shorten

the sustain phase of the new note in a transition.

Legato | Max Range:
Setup the maximum range in which hammer ons, pull offs or slides are

played here. If you play E2 followed by F#2 on the lowest string and you

setup the max range for a hammer on to 1, the hammer on won’t be played

in because the new note is 2 frets away from the last note.
• Hammer Ons
• Pull Offs
• Slides

Legato | Max consecutive:
Setup the maximum number of hammer ons, pull offs or slides than can be

played in a row here. If you set ‘

Max consecutive’ for hammer ons to 1 and

you play E2 followed by F2 and F#2, only F2 will trigger a hammer on and

F#2 will be played with the start articulation instead.
• Hammer Ons
• Pull Offs
• Slides

Legato | Max time Difference:
Setup the maximum time difference in which hammer ons, pull offs or slides

can be played here. If you set the “

Max time Difference” for hammer ons to

500ms and you play E2 followed by F2 and you play F2 in less than 500ms,

a hammer on will be played. If you play F2 after 500ms it will be played

with the start articulation instead.

HAMMER oN | BY LEGAto AI
transition | x-fade:
The “

fade In” parameter allows you to setup a per string offset of how

much the new note is crossfaded with the last note. Lower values add more

attack, higher values result in a smoother transition.

transition | x-fade:
The “

Sample Start” parameter allows you to setup a sample start offset per

string. Lower values result in more attack, higher values will cut away more

of the attack portion of the sample.
