1: Setting

● Trigger Mode

≤

Single, Multi.

Determines how the attack portion of the sound will be triggered.

•

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.

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.
