Description

This device creates special keys on your keyboard which will retrigger any last played key or chord, letting you manually play tremolo patterns on your keyboard. Also useful for playing fast percussive articulations usually hard to play with one single key.

Choose if you want to create tremolo keys on the left side and/or the right side of your keyboard. The # Keys slider determines the number of tremolo keys that will be created on each side. The note sliders just under Left and Right buttons determine respectively the minimum and maximum tremolo keys.

The tremolo keys need to be armed for them to work. You can choose to simply click on the red button to arm them, or you can dynamically arm and unarm them by using a CC control.

If turned on, the Sustain button will make the sustain of your instrument follow the state of the selected CC.

The Threshold slider determines the delay time before which multiple notes will be considered chords rather than individual notes. Shorter times are useful for fast articulations, while longer times are useful for triggering chords more easily.
