Play Control; Macro Knobs - Arturia MatrixBrute User Manual

4.8.2. Play Control

• Legato – Legato allows for playing notes with or without retriggering
the envelopes on every key on. The following settings apply to each
note sounding in the current voice mode. In Monophonic they apply to
the single sound, and in Paraphonic and Duo-Split they apply to the
one being played.
• On - This will only retrigger the envelope after all notes have been
released. Holding a note while playing the next one, before releasing
the first, creates a slur effect. This works for successive notes as well,
and its effect is dependent on the envelope settings (because a sound's
overall length is relative to the first note you play). If you play staccato,
the envelope will trigger on each note played as normal.
• Off – Every note played will trigger the envelopes.
• Glide - This mode is similar to Legato mode in the playing a notes while
a note is held, will not trigger then envelopes. If the GLIDE is active,
then playing legato will both prevent the envelope from triggering as
well as gliding from one pitch to the next.
Note Priority - Determines what happens when you play more voices than are
available (one in Monophonic voice mode and two in the other voice modes).
• Low - The lowest note you're holding keeps sustaining and other notes
are cut off;
• High - The highest note you're holding keeps sustaining and other
notes are cut off;
• Last - Held notes are cut off by the new ones you play.
Key Hold – Simulates the effect of holding a note forever. It plays the last note
you triggered, no matter how much time has passed, and holds it. It does not
affect the envelopes so sounds with no sustain will not actually sound beyond
the decay time. This is also used to hold an arpeggiation on.
