Key Switch Alternate Parameters

Available Key Switches

Shows the available key switches.

Alternation List

Shows the key switches that are used to control an alternation.

You can change the order of the key switches by dragging them to a new position. To remove a key switch from the Alternation List, use the context menu for the selected key switch.

Alternation Mode
  • Select Cycle Up to cycle through the key switches in ascending order according to their index number, that is, from the lowest number upwards.

  • Select Cycle Down to cycle through the key switches in descending order according to their index number, that is, from the highest number downwards.

  • Select Random to alternate the key switches randomly with each note that you play.

  • Select Random Exclusive to alternate the key switches randomly, but without repetitions.

Per Key

Activate this option to apply the alternation for each MIDI key separately. If this option is deactivated, the alternation is applied globally across the entire keyboard, so that any key that you play advances the alternation sequence.

Enable/Disable

The two value fields allow you to specify the MIDI keys that enable/disable the alternation sequence.

If no key is specified in the Disable field, the key in the Enable field is used to enable and disable the alternation sequence.

Note

The keys that are specified for Enable and Disable are used exclusively for these functions and cannot trigger any notes.

If this is set to Off, you can manually trigger a specific key switch by clicking it in the Alternation List.

You can also use the On/Off button to the left of the value fields to activate/deactivate the alternation sequence.

Reset

Specifies the key that resets the alternation sequence.

Auto Reset

Allows you to reset the key switch alternation automatically after a specific time.

Previous

Specifies the key that switches to the previous entry in the list.

Next

Specifies the key that switches to the next entry in the list.

Grace Time

Sets the minimum time between two steps. This allows you to play chords, for example, because otherwise, each note of a chord would play with a different layer.
