ELECTRI6ITY | GETTING STARTED | STEP 6 | RELEASE NOISE
If you want to mute a sustained tone on a guitar, it’s almost impossible to do
this without causing a release noise. While professional guitarists try their
best to avoid this kind of noises, they are still audible and without them a
guitar simply wouldn’t sound like a guitar. We captured a wide range of
these release noises during the recording process of ELECTRI6ITY.
The following pages contain an overview of all available release noises in
ELECTRI6ITY. The table shows the release noise and how it is selected. We
are also going to describe each noise and show example situations in which
it might be useful.
You can set up default releases for Poly, Mono, and Legato modes (see
>Settings Page | 10.1-10.3). Those releases are used if no manual overwrite
via keyswitch takes place. ELECTRI6ITY also watches your playing and
doesn’t play release samples in situations where no release noise would be
produced on a real guitar (for example, repetitions of notes).
The keyswitches for the release notes are ‘Combined Keyswitches,’ which are
triggered by holding the
Release Selection Keyswitch (A-1) plus one of the
keys to the right of it. This was necessary to allow the manual selection of all
release samples within the limited range of keys available on a keyboard.

HINT: All trigger keys with an [AMt] tag are controlling the morphing
not the velocity. For example, in the default articulation ‘Muted <->
Sustain’, playing those trigger keys hard will trigger sustain notes, while
playing them soft will trigger dead muted notes.
