GLIDE control: affects pitch transitions. When turned to the far left, there are no pitch transitions - new notes immediately play at their "correct" pitch. If turned to the right, the glide time increases - new notes are triggered at the pitch of the previous note, and then gradually glide to the pitch of the played note, quickly or slowly, depending on the setting of this knob.
Includes 12 Presets -Prefabs- (6 Strings mode, 6 Ambience, acoustic environments )

MIDI Automation: Added complete MIDI CC#. The following MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC) messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:

:: MIDI Implementation Chart for Syntheway Strings::

# Decimal / Controller Name

CC# 05 - GLIDE - Portamento Time -
CC# 07 - MASTER VOLUME

CC# 71 - DECAY - ENVELOPE GENERATOR
CC# 72 - RELEASE - ENVELOPE GENERATOR
CC# 73 - ATTACK - ENVELOPE GENERATOR
CC# 74 - SUSTAIN - ENVELOPE GENERATOR

CC# 88 - REVERB SIZE ROOM
CC# 89 - REVERB WIDTH ROOM
CC# 90 - REVERB DAMPING FACTOR ROOM
CC# 91 - REVERB MIX LEVEL

Free variation of acoustic ambience thanks to complete separation of strings and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as accurately as larger spaces. Customizable with user controls for: size room, width room, damping factor & mix, used to create psycho-acoustic models in the DSP environment, without having to load up any other plug-ins.

A c o u s t i c A m b i e n c e

Added realistic acoustic environments, from small rooms to large concert halls.

Parameters:

- S i z e : This is the Size ( front - rear distance ) of the room. It ranges 0 to 10 ( smallest to largest)
- W i d t h : This represents the width ( left-right distance) of the room. It ranges 0 (small) to 10 (wide)
- D a m p : ( D a m p i n g f a c t o r ) This is a way to describe the surface absorption, or how sound is reflected by the walls, floors and ceilings. A higher Damp setting causes high frequencies to decay faster. It Ranges 0 (near no absorption) to 10 (high absorption).
- M i x : The proportion of the "Dry/Wet" signal in the output
