Adding sound slots

Now, you create one sound slot for each articulation that you want to add.

1. In the Sound Slots section to the right of the Maps list, a sound slot is added automatically when a new map is created.

   This is the default slot that is used. You can specify an articulation for it or leave it empty, depending on your preferred default setting.

2. Click in the first Articulation column (Art. 1) for the sound slot and select an articulation from the menu.

   A new entry is added in the Articulations section in the lower right corner of the window.

3. When adding articulations, the name of the sound slot is automatically set to the articulation. To change the name, click in the name field and enter a new name.

   The names of the sound slots are displayed in the Inspector for the track.

4. To create a complex articulation, made of several different single articulations, click in the other Articulation columns (Art. 2-4) for the sound slot and add the corresponding articulations.

   For each new articulation, an additional entry is added in the Articulations section.

   • Apart from creating combined articulations, the Articulation columns also allow you to prioritize articulations, by sorting them into different groups.

     When the program is looking for sounds and no exact match is found, the group setting defines the “closest match”, i. e. the sound which matches most criteria when searching from left to right is used. For example, if two sounds are found which have the same articulation in group 1, the sound that also matches group 2 is preferred and so on. For more information on groups, see below.

   • If you cannot find the articulation that you want to add on the pop-up menu, you can define your own articulations by selecting “Add Custom Articulation”.

     This adds a default articulation which you can define in the Articulations section, see below.

   • Click in the “Col” column to assign a color to the current sound slot.

     When working in the MIDI editors, you can color your events according to the color of the sound slots.

5. When you have made the desired settings, click the “+” button again to add another sound slot.

   Add as many sound slots as you need.

   In the Remote column, you can specify the key on your external device that triggers this sound slot.
