Keyswitch Mode

Abstract

Learn how to use the Main page in CHOIR OMNIA to adjust the loudness, position and depth of the instrument in the mix.

In Keyswitch mode, the duration of each syllable is not fixed, rather determined by how long the keys are pressed. In this playing mode syllables do not change during legato lines and a new syllable is only triggered when a new legato line is played.

Keyswitch mode contains the following controls:

  1. Keys/Sequencer: Switches between the two playing modes. When Keys is selected, the respective controls are displayed.

  2. Save: Saves your custom patches as user presets.

  3. Edit (pencil icon): Opens the Keyswitch Editor.

  4. Volume: Displays the volume parameter for each position. Turning the control right increases the volume of the respective syllable.

  5. Release: Displays the release parameters that allow you to adjust the duration of the release for the currently selected position, from 0 to 3000 ms. Default value is 3000 ms.

  6. Global Articulation: Selects from four options (Sustain, Marcato, Staccato, Staccatissimo). If a syllable in the sequencer does not have an articulation selected for a particular position, the articulation will be determined by the selected Global Articulation.

  7. Global Articulation: Selects one from four options (Sustain, Macato, staccato, Staccatissimo) that determines the global articulation setting. Refer to Articulations.

  8. Edit Position 1-12: Selects the position for editing.
