Pitch

Sets the basic pitch of the key click noise, relative to the highest tonewheel's pitch. The pitch is
controlled by a steep lowpass filter applied to white noise. The filter's cut off frequency is
controlled relative to key number, higher keys move the cutoff frequency up, lower keys move
the cutoff frequency down.

Random

Controls the degree to which a random amount of amplitude variation is added to the key click.

ReTrigThresh

This parameter lets you set the volume level below which key click must decay before it will be
retriggered.

Note Attack

Controls the attack characteristic of notes. Normal provides a smoothed attack, while a setting of
Hard has an instant attack and will produce an audible click, in addition to any amount of key
click specified with the other parameters on this page (you might prefer not to specify any
additional key click when you use this setting). PercHard sets a hard attack level for percussion
only; notes without percussion use a normal attack.

Note Release

Controls the release characteristic of notes. A setting of Normal has a smoothed release, while a
setting of Hard has an instant release. Hard will produce an audible click.
