if both the Ist and 2nd Tones are assigned to certain strings in Section 3. "Turning the ist and 2nd
Tones On and Off," we can set the way in which the Tones sound.
if both Tones are assigned to a string. ordinarily they a
ayered and produced simultaneously. But,
depending on the picking intensity, the Tone heard might be switched. so that during hard picking
only bath Tones are played.
Use the VALUE

and played together.
(Layer)
1/2 V-SW
: When two Tones are assigned to a string, if you play that string softly you will
(Velocity Switch)
hear only the Ist Tone, and only the 2nd Tone will be heard if you play the string
hard. The point between "hard" and "soft" picking, where the Tones will switch,
is set by Velocity Threshold, which we will discuss in a minute (see next page).
1/2 V-MX
: When two Tones are assigned to a string. the ist Tone will always sound. You
(Velocity Mix)
will not hear the 2nd Tone if you play softly. but as you pick harder and harder, at
some point the 2nd Tone kicks in as well and both Tones will sound, That point is
set by Velocity Threshold, the next topic of discussion.
@ What is velocit Y?
When we think of velocity we usually think of "speed." But in the worki of MIDI and clectronic ]
instruments "velocity" is generally used to mean how hard vou play, not how fast.
VELOCITY
THRESHOLD
Referring to your picking attack. this parameter sets rhe point at which you switch between the Ist and
2nd Tones in V-SW, or the point at which the 2nd Tone is added to the Ist Tone in V-MX.
Values range from 0 to 127, with higher values corresponding to harder picking
attacks.
This is something you'll want to try playing with a litle, to see what value best suits your p
style.
