6. When making your own Chain, the FX preset “600 String Resonance” should be used for
the rst box of the Program’s insert Chain.
When a layer has the Pno.Resonanc parameter set to On, the FX preset “600 String
Resonance” monitors which keys are being held on that layer and uses them to tune the
algorithm in the FX preset. Any audio that passes though the FX preset while these keys are
held will cause emulated strings to resonate based on this tuning. When using KSR, layers
which contain samples of piano notes should have the Pno.Resonanc parameter set to On.
Layers that do not play samples of piano notes (such as layers for mechanical key release
noise, pedal noise, string/synth layers etc) should have the Pno.Resonanc parameter set to
O. (Layers set to O will still resonate any other strings that have been emulated.) If more
than one layer in a program is set to play piano notes for the exact same velocity and key
range, the FX preset will function the best if only one of those layers has the Pno.Resonanc
parameter set to On.
In an acoustic piano, it is possible to strike and hold a key very lightly so that a note is not
played, but the key’s strings will still become undamped and will resonate when other keys
are played. KSR can simulate this behavior. To do so, select the layer in the program which
has the lowest velocity range and which has the Pno.Resonanc parameter set to On. On the
Layer page, set the Enable parameter to GAttVel, and set the Enable Min parameter to 2.
is will allow notes played with a velocity of 1 to tune the algorithm in FX preset “600
String Resonance”, without playing a note. (is only works for velocities of 1. Velocities
above 1 will not tune the algorithm without playing a note, even if the Enable Min
parameter is set to a higher value.)
The LAYER Page
Press the LAYER soft button to call up the LAYER page. Here you’ll set a number of
parameters that aect the current layer’s keyboard range, attack and release characteristics,
and response to various controls.
Parameter Range of Values Default
Low Key C -1 to G 9 C 0
High Key C -1 to G 9 C 8
Low Velocity ppp to fff ppp
High Velocity ppp to fff fff
