● Random Lips: controls how much randomness is applied to the tuning and tension of             

the player’s modeled lips.

● Portamento Max Time: controls the portamento time, set to OFF to disable           

portamento (no portamento when this value is < 1,5).

● MIDI Profile:

○ MPE: for MIDI Polyphonic Expression compatible devices.

○ Legacy: MIDI 1.0 devices.

● Attack Control - how the attack of the note is controlled:

○ Vel. Hard - controlled strongly by the note-on velocity.

○ Vel. Soft - controlled weakly by the note-on velocity.

○ Expression - controlled by the shape of expression control.

● Portamento Control:

○ Velocity: the portamento time is controlled by the note-on velocity of          

overlapping notes.

○ CC: the portamento time is controlled by a MIDI Continuous Control (such as            

Control Change, AfterTouch, NRPN).

● Breath Ctrl Mode (Breath Control Mode):

○ OFF

○ ON: suitable for Breath Controllers, allows the player to produce another          

note attack, using the breath envelope, while holding a note.

● Breath Ctrl Attack Sens.: (Breath Control Attack Sensitivity) controls the sensitivity of           

the note-on attack strength for notes triggered in Breath Control Mode.

● Pitch Bend Curve

○ ON: non-linear pitch-bend, for better pitch control especially when using a          

physical controller which is separate to the playing surface, so there is no            

correspondence between the controller and the note positions. 

○ OFF: linear pitch-bend (recommended for devices which integrate the pitch         

bend control with the playing surface, so the pitch-bend movements on the           

surface correspond directly with notes. Many current MPE devices fall into          

this category).

● KS MIDI Channel (Key Switches MIDI Channel): select which MIDI channel will be            

used to receive key switch information. Select from channel 1 to 16 or ANY.

● KS Octave (Key Switches Octave Transpose): allows you to transpose the Key           

Switches to begin in the octave from C-1 to C2, or turn off key switches (OFF).

● KS Velocity Remap (Key Switches Velocity Remapping): since some Key Switches are           

velocity-dependent, this parameter controls the distribution of the thresholds        

between states.

● Receive MIDI Channel: is the MIDI channel the sound generator receives notes and            

controllers that affects the sound (default is ANY). Note that this can be different             

from Key Switches MIDI Channel, so it is possible to control Key Switches from a              
