5.5 Buzz-trills, Trills
A buzz-trill is the sound of a real bass player moving his finger
back and forth over a fret quickly. A trill on the other hand is a se-
quence of repeated hammer-on and pull-offs. Buzz-trills and trills
are activated by pressing the G#0 key switch. Buzz-trills are avail
-
able on the D and G string and trills on the G string.
•
Velocities 1-59 give trills on G string and long buzz-trills on D
string.
•
Velocities 60-89 give long buzz-trills
•
Velocities 90-127 give short buzz-trills
Note that unlike the other key switches G#0 only affects the follow
-
ing note even if it were to be held pressed. We made it like this to
make it easier to trigger a single trill without accidentally affecting
other notes.
5.6 Trill Tails
+
Legato (down)
Trill tails are based on the same samples as trills except that their
attack has been removed in order to make it possible to use them
after any other articulation—as a tail. They are available on the G
string.
To trigger a trill tail press the G#0 key switch to activate trill mode
and then play a pull-off (a half or whole note legato down). Please
note that the key switch must be pressed just before the pull-off
note and not earlier or you will get a trill or buzz-trill instead of a
sustain on the preceding note.
Here’s an example of how a trill tail can be performed: play A3 and
hold it pressed, play the G#0 key switch, play a legato down to G3.
The G3 legato note is played back as a trill tail.
