VIBES MODE | Recreates authentic vibraphone playing technique with realistic handling of muted and decaying notes using the sustain pedal (including post-pedal presses). Ideal for users with dedicated mallet controllers (such as the Pearl MalletStation).
KEYBOARD MODE | A performance patch designed to be played comfortably using a keyboard controller while maintaining authentic vibraphonic articulations and behavior.
SUSTAIN | Single articulation of samples recorded with the sustain pedal depressed, for a full, natural decay of decaying notes.
SHORT | Single articulation of samples played with the sustain pedal released, for a full, natural decay of muted notes (decay time is user-adjustable in the ADVANCED tab).
BLUR MODE | Automatic note sustain and decay control for melodic playing, slurred passages, arpeggios and glissandos.
DYNAMIC ROLLS | Designed primarily for single-note roll playing (although multiple notes can be played simultaneously if desired).
DYNAMIC TREMOLO | Designed primarily for tremolo playing, alternating 2-4 notes (although single-note tremolos can also be used).
