SWAM Solo Strings v2.1.0 - User Manual – rev. 1

Tremolo

Auto-tremolo

Just selects if you want a “Slow” tremolo or a “Fast” tremolo. If the “Tremolo Mode” is set to “Sync”

or “Sync/Acc”, the tremolo will be synchronized with the project tempo (BPM). Custom accents can

be performed by acting on the expression (expression “spikes” on the desired strokes).

Manual-tremolo

Be sure that the “Manual Trem/BowC KS” option is set to “Trem”; press and release the Key Switch

C# while playing the notes; a bow-change is performed at both note-on and note-off.

You can adjust the “BowPressure” in order to obtain a smooth or hard tremolo.

Bowing

Set the Gesture Mode to Bowing and move your expression controller back and forth.

Crescendo

Standard Crescendo: Cresendo is performed acting just on the Expression, starting from a low value

and increasing it as desired.

Wider Crescendo: A wider effect can be obtained mapping the Bow Pressure parameter to the same

CC that controls the Expression (see “MIDI mapping Page”, page 16). For example:

- Expression: CC 11 – Min = 0, Max = 127

- Bow Pressure: CC 11 – Min = 55, Max = 80

Start “from nothing” (fade-in): set the Expression to zero, hit the key with a very low value of the

velocity (under MIDI value 10), increase the Expression as desired.
