Note that due to the unusual effects used by the Xtra Special Effects
patches, not all external controllers work with every instrument.
Abbreviations
Chrs: Chorus effect.
Dly: Delay effect.
DTune: Instruments that are artificially detuned on a random per-
note basis.
Flg: Flanger effect.
Gentle: Instruments labeled "gentle" use only the lower velocity
samples of the instrument. While you can still play a "gentle"
instrument dynamically, you'll find that there is less of a dynamic
range than loading the full version of the same instrument. These
instruments can be more appropriate for ballad or background
playing in which you may not want the more aggressive samples that
would normally be triggered by high velocities.
KSW: Keyswitch patch. Keyswitches are silent key triggers that tell
the engine to play back a different layer of sounds. For example, in a
certain keyswitched instrument, hitting the key C0 will make no
sound, but will tell the instrument to play only muted samples, while
hitting the key D0 will tell the instrument to play only sustained
samples. In the chord banks, keyswitching is used to switch
between various types of chords. You can use the keyswitches in
real-time to switch between various layers. In each keyswitched
instrument, you'll see a visual indication in the interface of which layer
is currently active, along with which keyswitch triggers it.
