Psalmodikon Page
On the front page of the GUI, named “Psalmodikon”, you can adjust the articulation and dynamics of the
sound. From left to right, the controls are:
Articulation
Articulation Menu: sets the active articulation for played notes. Seven articulations are available. In
addition to being selectable with this menu, articulations can be chosen by pressing keyswitches on your
MIDI keyboard. The articulations and keyswitches are as follows:
Articulation
Keyswitch note
Bowed 1
C1
Bowed 2 – scraped overtone
C#1
Staccato 1
D1
Staccato 2 – scraped overtone
D#1
Marcato 1
E1
Marcato 2 – scraped overtone
F1
Picked
F#1
The currently selected articulation will be remembered after you save and reopen the Nordic
Psalmodikon instrument.
Turning the modulation wheel (MIDI CC1) while playing the Nordic Psalmodikon will crossfade between
different versions of the current articulation. For example, if Bowed 1 is active, then raising the
modulation wheel will fade out Bowed 1, and fade in Bowed 2. The reverse is true when Bowed 2 is the
active articulation.
