Glissando functionality:
There are two keyswitches for glissando. G#1 triggers glissando from high to low and A1
triggers glissando from low to high. Both keyswitches include two velocities where the low
velocity is glissando TO the specific note played and the high is glissando FROM the specific
note played. When played fast and with the higher velocity the typical bouzouki effect sounds.
Fret functionality:
One and the same note can often be played on multiple different strings on the real instrument.
Whereas many other stringed instrument sample libraries only includes samples for the lower
fret numbers on most strings, we have recorded notes throughout the full length of the strings
in order to capture the timbral differences between these alternative playing positions.
This gives you increased flexibility and realism.
MIDI CC#1 - normally mapped to the modulation wheel by default - is used to set the left hand
playing position along the neck of the bouzouki. Low values gives you samples played on low
fret numbers and high values gives you samples played on the higher fret numbers. When you
play a note on your keyboard the string on which the fret corresponding to this note is closest to
the current playing position is chosen. Hence, the playing position implicitly determines the
choice of string and thereby also which sample is to be played.
Even if the note you play on your keyboard cannot be played at the exact playing position set by
MIDI CC#1, the best match will be used.
