GLIDE
control: affects pitch transitions. When turned to the far left, there
are no pitch transitions - new notes immediately play at their
"correct" pitch. If turned to the right, the glide time increases - new
notes are triggered at the pitch of the previous note, and then
gradually glide to the pitch of the played note, quickly or slowly,
depending on the setting of this knob.
MIDI
Automation: Added complete MIDI CC#. The following MIDI
Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC) messages are recognized and affect the
described parameters:

Free
variation of acoustic ambience thanks to complete separation of strings
and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as accurately as larger
spaces. Customizable with user controls for: size room, width room,
damping factor & mix, used to create psycho-acoustic models in
the DSP environment, without having to load up any other
plug-ins.
A c o u s t i
c A m b i e n c e
Added realistic acoustic environments,
from small rooms to large concert halls.
Parameters:
- S i z e : This is
the Size
( front - rear distance ) of the room. It ranges 0 to 10 ( smallest to
largest)
- W i d t h : This represents the width
( left-right distance) of the room. It ranges 0 (small) to 10 (wide)
- D a m p : ( D a m p i n
g f a c t o r ) This is a way to describe
the surface absorption, or how sound is reflected by the walls, floors
and ceilings. A higher Damp setting causes high frequencies to decay
faster. It Ranges 0 (near no absorption) to 10 (high absorption).
- M i x : The proportion of
the "Dry/Wet" signal in the output
