MIDI Controller Smoothing
MIDI controllers have a maximum resolution of 128 steps, which is rather low.
Therefore, if you use a MIDI controller to remote-control a quick control, for example,
the parameter change may occur in audible steps. To avoid this, the plug-in provides
MIDI controller smoothing, allowing for less abrupt parameter changes.
• If MIDI c
ontroller changes cause audible artifacts, turn the control towards slower
settings.
This makes MIDI controller changes occur not imme
diately, but spaced over a
period of time.
• If y
ou want MIDI controller changes to be more immediate, turn the control
towards faster settings.
This can produce audible artifacts when MIDI
controller changes occur.
Ö This
setting affects all VST Sound Instrument Set plug-ins installed on your computer,
as well as HALion Sonic SE.
FlexPhraser Hold Reset
This command sends a global “Hold Reset” message to all FlexPhraser modules that
are used in the preset. On the “Reset Controller” pop-up menu, you can assign a MIDI
controller to the FlexPhraser “Hold Reset” button, which allows you to remote-control
it.
Ö This
setting affects all open plug-in instances of a particular VST Sound Instrument
Set.
Performance Control Section
The performance control section in the lower part of the plug-in panel contains the
elements that you need to “play” the instrument: pitchbend and modulation wheel,
virtual keyboard, and sphere.
Wheel Controls
To the left of the virtual keyboard, you can find the pitchbend wheel and the
modulation wheel. The modulation wheel is hardwired to MIDI controller #1.
Ö The fixe
d assignment of MIDI controller #1 cannot be changed. Therefore, the
modulation wheel offers no “Learn CC” function.
Keyboard
The virtual keyboard can be used to trigger MIDI notes just like a real keyboard. By
clicking the keys at different vertical positions you can control the note-on velocity.
Furthermore, the keyboard displays keys that are not used to trigger notes but act as
key switches. The “Shift Keyboard” buttons to the left and right of the keyboard shift
the keyboard range by octaves. This allows you to display key switches that are
located on lower keys, for example.
