Switch
In this mode, the velocity curve is only applied when the side-chain controller sends a
value higher than 64. This allows you to use a foot switch to activate or deactivate the
influence of the velocity curve, for example.
Continuous
In this mode, the incoming side-chain controller value is used to scale the influence of
the velocity curve. When set to 0, the curve has no effect, when set to 127, the curve
is applied at 100 %.
Side-Chain Controller
Here, you can specify which MIDI Controller is used to control the effect of the
velocity curve.
Tuning Scale
The Tuning Scale MIDI module comes with many ready-to-use tuning scale presets.
These can be loaded and saved using the regular editing methods, see the chapter
"Working with Presets"
The most commonly used scale in western music is the equal tempered scale, where
adjacent notes have an equal distance of 100 cents. Therefore, the Equal Temperament
preset is loaded by default. In the Concert Grand scale, the upper notes are tuned
increasingly higher and the lower notes are tuned increasingly lower. Use this to create
more natural sounding piano programs. Furthermore, many well-known traditional tuning
scales in different keys are available, like the Well Tempered scale or the Kirnberger
scale.
Editing Tuning Scales
You can create custom tuning scales by editing the notes per octave (the tune offsets
apply equally to all octaves on the keyboard) or by editing the 128 MIDI notes
individually (the tune offsets apply only to single notes). Editing the scale per octave is
particularly useful for creating different temperaments. Editing the scale per note is
useful for creating stretched tunings.
Editing Scales per Octave
Proceed as follows:
1. To the right of the scale editor, click the Octaves button.
2. In the scale editor, click the Offset field of the note you want to adjust and set the
tune offset.
The offsets of the 12 notes are applied equally to all octaves.
