TheKeyClickfeatureaddsadecayingburstofpitchednoisetotheattackofnotes.Unlikethe
percussion,thekeyclickis“multi‐triggered,”whichmeansthateverynewnotewilltriggerit.
Theparametersonthispageprimarilycontrolthedecay,volume,andpitchofthekeyclick.
KeyClick
ThisiswhereyouturnKeyClickonoroff.WithKeyClicksettoOff,youmaystillhearaclick
dependingonyourNoteAttackandNoteReleasesettings(seebelow.)
Volume
Thisparametersetsthelevelofthekeyclick;thenoisedecaysfromthelevelyousethere.This
levelisscaledbythedrawbarlevels,aswellastheexpressionpedallevel.
Decay
Setsthebasicdecaytimeofthenoiseenvelope.Smallervaluesproduceashorterburst.
VelTrk
Controlsthedegreetowhichkeyvelocityaffectsthekeyclickvolume.Avalueofzeromeans
thatthekeyvelocityhasnoeffectonthekeyclickvolume(whichislikearealtonewheelorgan).
Othervaluesaddvolumeasthevelocityincreases.
