6.6 Performance Parameters 65
The Range parameter under velocity in the Strumming section allows one to modulate the num-
ber of strings played with the MIDI velocity signal received by the program. This is used to emulate
the fact that the number of strings in a chord played by a guitarist may vary depending on the in-
tensity of the playing. When in its middle position and playing mezzo forte on the keyboard, the
lowest and highest strings in the chord will be excluded from the strumming. As the MIDI velocity
is reduced more and more strings are excluded while more are added as the velocity is increased.
In other words, the higher the velocity, the greater are the chances that all the strings in the chord
will be played. Moving the knob clockwise from its middle position makes it harder to play the
strings at the extremities therefore requiring a higher velocity. Turning the knob anti-clockwise has
the opposite effect and makes it easier and easier. In its leftmost position all the strings included
in the strumming range, as indicated by the Chord Range selector, are always played whatever the
value of the MIDI velocity.
6.6.5 Tuning
The Tuning module is used to transpose the output pitch of Strum. The output pitch
can be increased or decreased by one semi-tone by moving the tuning knob clockwise
or anti-clockwise respectively. When in its center position, Strum uses standard tuning
(A4 - 440 Hz).
The output can also be transposed by one octave by switching on the Octave button.
This is useful for reaching notes on the fretboard above C5 (MIDI note number 72)
where the special strumming keyswitches are located.
6.6.6 Pitch Wheel
The keyboard pitch wheel is used to perform bends or slides. A bend is an increase
of pitch obtained by pressing a string down on a fret and pushing the string up or down
after triggering the string with the fretting hand. It is usually limited to one or two
semi-tones. A slide is another technique used by guitar players to change the pitch of
a note. It is obtained by pressing a string down with a finger, triggering the string with
the fretting hand, and then moving the fretting finger up or down along the axis of the
neck of the guitar across a certain number of frets.
To choose between a bend or slide effect, click on the corresponding button of the pitch wheel
section. The range of the effect is selected from the Range drop-down menu. Note that a bend will
be applied on the last note played in a chord while a slide will be applied to all the notes forming
the chord.
