INSTRUMENT DESIGN
PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Dynamics
Easy, real-time adjustment of loudness and intensity (MIDI CC1)
Attack
Increases the fade-in time per note to simulate realistic variations throughout a passage
Release
Applies an additional envelope to the fade-out phase of the notes
Tightness
Determines the starting point for the playback of a sample
Motion
Adds movement to the sound by modulating note, pitch, and intensity.

ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
Arpeggio Module
Generates arpeggiated phrases and sustaining note runs, trills, multi-tongueing, and chords
Legato
Adjusts speed of transition, select between Solo or Duet and Flip or Slur modes
Progress Indicator
Visualizes how the intensity, volume, or pitch evolves over time (Expression articulations only)
Round Robin
Indicator visualizes the selection of the alternative samples
Playback
Adjusts speed of rhythmic articulations

ARTICULATION SET UP
- Assign up to eight articulations to key switches or a MIDI CC (both with MIDI learn)
- Key switches can be subdivided by velocity, MIDI CC by value range
- Independent volume controls for each articulation
- Visual representation of all articulations
