[. . . ] Due to technical reasons the key switch "A" in the Main Setup is just reserved for Staccato and normally "empty. " To use staccato it is necessary to load it separately unless you have loaded a multi­instrument. A# / B Fast Runs downwards / upwards Possible modes: velocity controlled fast runs of any length, fitting any key ornamentations ­ assuming that you press the second key early enough and interrupt the run behind E4). There is also a more advanced run start shift feature: normally the run sample itself starts just "behind" the start note (which is a modified staccato sample). Turning the pitch wheel up or down, however, moves the start marker, so that the run starts above or below the start pitch. The more you turn the pitch wheel, the bigger the interval between the first note you play and the start note of the sampled run. If, for example, you recall the Runs Downwards (pressing the key switch A#), move the Pitch wheel just slightly upwards ­ so that the run starts a major third higher ­ and play, as in the above example, C4 followed by D4, the result will D be quite different: C4­E4­D4­C4­D4. Combining different start and target notes with different run directions and using the run start shift feature you can create nearly any possible ornamentation. Although the fast runs work in many tempos, you can still make them faster or slower using the Tempo button (CC23). The ModWheel controls the volume to some extent enabling continuous changes of intensity. Please note that due to technical reasons the start shift feature works only in original tempo (Tempo = 50% or CC23 = 64. ) Assigned controllers: Tempo (CC 23) Pitch bend (controls the start shift) ModWheel (volume) Very fast, "universal" runs with start­stop feature, fitting any minor or major key; can also be used as a powerful ornamentation tool. Pressing and holding a key starts the run beginning from the corresponding pitch. Pressing a second key (still holding the first one) plays a short target tone and stops the run. The only thing you have to watch is the moment the run has to be stopped. In order to play the (short) target tone with its natural decay, play it shortly. Of course, while playing a run you have enough time to switch over to any other category ­ e. g. whole notes, using the key switch F ­ thus ending the run with a longer note. By playing very short runs you can create very realistic ornamentations. For example, play and hold the C4 followed after a short moment by D4. The result will be a note (in our case D4) with preceding ornamentation (in our example C4­D4­E4 10 Violins only: C2 Vn Runs [. . . ], downwards C#2 Vn Runs [. . . ], upwards (load separately unless you use the multi "Violins") Possible modes: runs of any length, in any key, approx. 100 ­ 170 bpm ornamentations are not mapped as they do not belong to the D­major key. The Runs 140 are available for violins only. 2. STACCATO see MAIN SETUP above, key switch A 3. FULL STRINGS 1 & 2 Ideal for composing, arranging/orchestrating or just experimenting.
