6.16 Auto Reset Position If a chord is held longer than the threshold
time you set here before the next one is played, the position on the
virtual fretboard is reset. So next time you play a chord it’s played in the
lowest possible position again.
6.17 Strum Energy 1-6
On a guitar you lose some strum energy with
each string you strum. You can fine-tune this energy loss here.
7 PICKING
7.1 Velocity->Lower If Muted If you set this value to any other value
than 0%, the more muted you play a note the softer it is played. Since
the articulation morphing of the ‘AMT Full’ articulation (for example) is
controlled by velocity, the softer you hit a key, the more muted a note is
played. To get some volume modulation back, you can raise this setting.
7.2 Auto Force Alternation On
a guitar it’s not possible to play
downstroke or upstroke picked notes as fast as if you would play them
with alternate picking. Playing 1/16 notes at 120BPM with constant
downstroke already is pretty fast. The engine can detect if it’s still
possible to keep a constant down- or upstroke direction. You can set
the time threshold to switch to alternate picking here.
7.3 Auto Force Sweep
If you play notes on different strings very fast
(for example arpeggios), you most likely keep the picking direction as
long as possible (known as sweep picking or economy picking). You can
set the time threshold to emulate this behavior here. If two following
notes are played on different strings within the time you set here, the
picking direction is set to sweep picking. (All notes starting on string 6
(lowest string) up to string 1 (highest string) are played downstroke, and
starting on string 1 down to string 6 are played upstroke.
7.4 Auto Reset Direction If a note is held longer than the threshold
time you set here before the next note is played, the picking direction is
reset. So if you have been playing with alternate picking because of a
fast phrase (see 7.2), the engine switches back to it’s default picking
direction after this threshold time has passed and no further notes have
been played.
7.5 Auto Reset Position If a note is held longer than the threshold time
you set here before the next note is played, the position on the virtual
fretboard is reset. So next time you play a note it’s played in the lowest
possible position again.
