1: Setting

Trigger Mode
≤
Single, Multi.
Determines how the attack portion of the sound will be triggered.
Single
Multi
• The "Single" setting makes it easy to produce the "hammering on" and "pull-
ing off" type effects used by guitar players, for example.
Xfade Speed
≤
Fastest, 0.09msec ... 390msec.
Simulates the naturally slow note-to-note transitions of acoustic instruments. The
slight "slur" that occurs between notes on wind instruments with tone holes is one exam-
ple. The "Fastest" setting produces the fastest, most synthesizer-like transition be-
tween subsequently-played notes. The higher the value, the longer the transition. Nor-
mally, as setting somewhere between 1 and 2 milliseconds produces the most natural
sound.
Interpolate Speed
≤
Fastest, 0.09msec ... 6.35msec.
Determines the response time of the VL1 to control changes — Pressure, Embou-
chure, etc. The higher the value the faster the response (e.g. the slower the attack when
pressure is applied). Normally, as setting somewhere between 1 and 2 milliseconds
produces the most natural sound. Decay-type voices sound best a somewhat shorter value.
Edit Mode
If a note is played on the keyboard, then a subsequent note or notes
are played while the first key is still held, no attack is produced.
The attack is always reproduced regardless of whether a previous key
is held or not.
