release articulation is overwritten as long as you keep the keyswitches
pressed. If you want to release all notes with a long slide down for example,
play a note or a chord, keep it pressed, now play A-1 followed by G0 (or both
together) and release the played note or chord. As soon as you release the
forced keyswitch, the default release articulation is used again.
How can I do double tracking?
Load two copies of the same guitar, then go to the Settings > Humanize
page and set one to “Guitar 1” and the other to “Guitar 2.”
What are differences between the FULL, LITE and QUICK patches?
The FULL patches contain all available articulations and release noises. But
due to the massive amount of samples they need longer to load and have a
significant higher memory footprint than the other patches. However you’ll
be able to remove articulations you won’t need on the Settings Page =>
Memory, which can reduce the necessary amount of memory a lot. That way
you can find the best trade off between flexibility and sound variation and
loading time/memory consumption.
The SUSTAIN AND MUTED ONLY (SMO) patches contain the most
important Muted<->Sustain articulation and all release noises, but no slides
or legato samples. You can use this articulation whenever you’ll need a guitar
for strumming or as a rhythm guitar only.
The SUSTAIN ONLY (SO) patches contain only the Sustain notes articulation,
used when you only need a few guitar chords or notes here and there. They
load very fast but they contain no muted samples and only the basic release
noises.
I notice some additional latency in Poly, but not in Solo and Legato mode
– how can I compensate this delay in my sequencer?
If you play a chord on the keyboard not all keys are pressed at the same
time. To compensate this sloppiness and to correctly detect a chord the
engine has to wait for all chord notes to arrive. By default this time is 24ms,
but if you play very accurately, you can lower the detection time. Go to the
‘Settings Page’, select ‘Calibration’ and change the ‘Chord Detection |
Time’ parameter. By default the chord detection is only active in Poly mode,
since Solo and Legato are monophonic modes and require no chord
detection.
If you mainly use the library in a sequencer environment, you can switch
‘Chord Detection | Mode’ on the same page to ‘Sequencer (POLY, SOLO,
LEGATO)’. This has two benefits when working in a sequencer: First you can
adjust the timing of all ELECTRI6ITY midi tracks to compensate for the
