3.5 Picking This control governs single note playing, and works the
same way as described in 3.4.
4 PLAYING
4.1 Trills
This control changes the speed of trills (when used with the
trill keyswitches).
4.2 Tremolo Picking
This changes the speed of tremolo picking (when
used with the tremolo keyswitch).
4.3 Silent Mode
(Pick And Strum-Keys Only) We recommend you
assign this CC to a pedal or button/controller knob on your keyboard,
since it’s very useful to switch to Silent Mode and back. If you play in
Silent Mode no key in the play range will sound. You trigger your playing
with the strum and picking keys only. That way you can for example
play non-sounding chords with your left hand while picking them with
your right hand and the strumming/picking keyswitches. That way you
can easily play picking patterns or slow chord arpeggios typical for any
kind of music in which a picked guitar is common.
4.4 Pitch Bend | Range You can change the pitch bend range here.
4.5 Pitch Bend | Auto Unison Bends
You can turn on or off Auto
Unison Bend detection here. If you set it to ‘On’ you can simply play two
notes together (either a half step or a whole step) and use the pitch-
wheel to get the typical unison-bend sound, which bends one note to
meet the other (a common guitar technique).
4.6 Slide Mode | Threshold
You can change the threshold for slide
playing here. A slide from one fret to the next is only played if the first
note was held longer than the threshold time in ms before the next note
was played.
4.7 Slide Mode | Slide In
You can change the length of the ‘Slide In’
slides here (2 to 4 frets)
4.8 Slide Mode | Slide Speed
You can change the slide speed from
100% (default) to 150% (faster) here.
4.9 Sustain Pedal
You can change the way your sustain pedal will
affect the engine here. You have three options: ‘Standard’, which is
classical sustain pedal behavior: notes will sound as long as you press
the pedal, but still take into account that each string itself is
monophonic. So each note on the same string will mute the last note
played on this string ‘Enhanced AI chords’, which means classical
behavior for single notes, but each chord will mute the last chord (even
