switched between according to certain criteria. In the screenshot
above, each of the three legato mode’s characteristics can be al-
tered. X-Time controls crossfade time (the time in which two
legato notes are crossfaded), and B-Time controls bend time (the
time in which a pitch warp or glide from one legato note to the
next takes place).

With the three

Edit Legato Buttons, you can access more detailed

behaviors for the three legato modes: adjusting the quality (lower
quality results in lower CPU usage), and the parameters related to
the pitch-bending of legato notes. If you select “cent” you can en-
ter how many cents the last note is bent towards the new note,
and the new note will start with a small pitch offset closer to the
old note, then it subtly bends towards its true pitch.

The Octave Factor multiplies this cent value according to the
played interval, in other words, if you play an octave interval and
you set the octave factor to 5, the pitch warp is five times stron-
ger. You can also select the interval settings which use the played
interval to calculate the pitch warp, or use the glide settings
which result in a full glide from each legato note to the next. Glide
Up and Glide Down limit glides to only up- or only down-glides.

With

Legato Rules > [

] you can tell the engine when each legato

mode is used or not used. By default, legato mode 1 is triggered
by slower playing (time differences of 500ms or more from one
note to the next, and an interval of less than two half-steps), while
