Key switches
Some parameters of SWAM instruments can also be triggered by the use of key switches. If there is
an overlap in the instrument range after transposition, the key switches can be moved down one
octave using the “KS Oct. Transp.” parameter (see Options page). Key switches can be disabled by
turning “KS Oct. Transp.” To “Off”.
The key switches are colored red on the virtual keyboard of the instrument.
Important note about Key Switches: “latch” Key Switches (see the K.S. chart) are sensitive to
the K.S. velocity, even for 2-state Key Switches. This way a sequence can be played correctly
even if it is not started from the beginning; otherwise a “latch” status could work differently
than how it should.
