Scarbee MM-Bass – 34
10.7 Chords
The illustration below shows how the notes of a chord never arrive at exactly the same time –
there is always a period of time between the first and last last note. As long as this period of
time is shorter in milliseconds than the Sloppiness knob value shown to the right, the chord
will be properly recognized and automatic string selection will work optimally.
If on the other hand the period of time between notes gets longer than the Sloppiness value
the automatic string selection is performed note by note which in some cases can yield sub-
optimal results for chords.
By increasing the sloppiness the tolerance for sloppily played chords increases, but at the
same time the latency is increased by the same amount leading to a less responsive instru-
ment. For this reason it is preferable to use a high sloppiness setting only when one is about
to play chords and a low value otherwise in order to minimum latency.
When chord mode has been activated by the D#0 key switch the left sloppiness setting is used.
And when chord mode is not active the normal sloppiness setting to the right is used. In other
words, D#0 temporarily activates a higher latency which makes the string selection for chords
more reliant and as soon as the key switch is released the low latency is restored again.
