to develop an algorithm which chooses the best fitting string according
to your playing. But this means that if you play A#1, it won’t always
sound exactly the same. If you don’t like the idea that most keys will
produce different timbres in different situations, you can switch to one
of the static modes. That way each note on the keyboard will always be
played on the same fret on the fretboard. Each of the static modes
(‘Simple’, ‘Default’, ‘Enhanced’) has a slightly different timbre which will
suit different styles of playing. The ‘Static 3-Note Mapping’ mode was
particularly designed for fluid legato or solo playing.
1.4 Dynamic Sympathetic Resonance String instruments have a
characteristic behavior: not only the string you plucked last will sound,
but its vibration will make the other strings resonate as well. This results
in an fuller tone and sometimes adds a little disharmony, which is very
characteristic for chord playing on a guitar. Since Dynamic Sympathetic
Resonance is quite CPU hungry you can select the resonating strings
here (for example only the highest E-String) or you can turn the
resonance engine off.
1.5 Dynamic Sympathetic Resonance | Strength You can select the
strength of the dynamic sympathetic resonance here (from subtle to
strong)
1.6 Volume You can change the volume of each string here.
1.7 Velocity->Volume You can change the velocity to volume
modulation for each string here. Higher values respond more
dynamically, while lower values respond less dynamically.
2 FRETBOARD
2.1 Position The default parameter is ‘Auto,’ so the engine chooses the
best fitting position on the fretboard according to your playing however
you can force the engine to select a certain position to play in. For
example, if you select ‘5’ the engine tries to play around the fifth fret.
2.2 Position | Auto If ‘Auto’ is chosen (‘Fretboard | Position’) you can
change the way the engine determines the best fitting position. You
can, for example, tell the engine to prefer lower or higher positions. Or
you can tell the engine to stay in the current position as long as
possible. If you choose ‘+’ or ‘++’ it means that the engine tries hard ‘+’
or even harder ‘++’ to play in the selected position.
2.3 Position | Harmonics When the ‘Harmonics’ articulation is in use,
this command tells the engine on which fret to play the harmonic. The
default mode is ‘By AMT,’ which means that the articulation morphing
