5.3 Fast Grace Note Up
Fast Legato
A fast grace note is triggered in the same way as a hammer-on,
one needs to play the legato note very quickly after the previous
note. Eg. play a C2, hold it pressed and press a D2 quickly after
(between 20 and 60 milliseconds).
The velocity of the lower note—the pre-hit note—is used as the
velocity for playing the fast grace note sample. This allows you to
play the second note at any velocity, which can help because one
often ends up hitting it a bit harder since it has to be triggered so
fast.
It was an old dream since the year 2000 to be able to trigger fast
grace notes in an intuitive way and now it has nally come true –
no key switches are necessary!
5.4 Slides
Legato
+
Slides are available in speeds 60 to 480 bpm. Play a note legato
while holding the sustain pedal pressed to trigger a slide. If it’s not
possible to slide the played interval without going outside of the
available frets a sustain will be used instead. The velocity of the
target note determines the speed of the slide. There are three re-
corded slide tempi:
Velocities 1-30 trigger the slowest slide sample (60 to 89 bpm)
Velocities 31-60 trigger the middle slide sample (90 to 119 bpm)
Velocities 61-127 trigger the fastest slide sample (120 to 480 bpm)
The beats per minute (bpm) tempo numbers above refer to the du-
ration of a 1/4 note in that tempo. To play a 1/8 note slide in tem-
po 120 you need to use a slide note velocity which corresponds to
240 bpm, and to play a 1/16 note slide (very fast) in tempo 120
you will need a velocity which corresponds to 480 bpm.
