THE INTERFACE

The main page shows the available articulations, the
two mic perspectives and the reverb settings.
To reassign an articulation keyswitch please press on
the desidered keyswitch and press on the keyboard
outside the range of the instrument to reassign it.
note, according to the velocity.
Besides this articulations, there are two zones of the
keyboard for playing muted notes and slapping on
the strings.

To unload a mic perspective please click on its name

(eg. MIC 1) and it will be unloaded from memory.

The available articulations are:

Polyphonic: the main pizzicato articulation, with

four dynamic ranges.

Legato: this articulation will play a legato transition

when playing half tone or whole tone intervals. Use
the Smart Legato feature in the instrument settings to
avoid playing a two legato consecutively and to avoid
playing legatos when the time difference between two
notes is major of 0.5 seconds.

Glissando: this will perform a glissando when play-

ing wholetone or halftone intervals. If you want to
play longer glissandos, you can make a quick run of
wholetone/halftone intervals

FX: it plays longer glissandos to and from the playing

Engine Accuracy: controls the processing of the
legato transitions. Decrease to save some CPU when
playing legato

Neighbour Note RR: fakes the presence of round

robing by borrowing the sample from neighbour
zones. This way if you pluck the same note at the
same velocity you’ll hear a different sound.

Attack: changes the attack of the instrument. It can

be less effective when compression is on

Release Volume: changes the volume of the release

samples.

Legato Velocity: makes the legato responsive to the

playing velocity. Increase it to make the effect more
pronounced.

Smart Legato: Avoid playing two legatos consecu-

tively and avoids playing legato if the time gap be-
tween the two notes exceeds 0.5 seconds.

Compression: Adds compression to the sound of the

instrument.
