[IMPORTANT] DFD Configuration

Please check your DFD setting before loading.

LPC Electric Guitar LE is a very big instrument that loads a huge number of samples. You

need to configure DFD in Kontakt's option. The default pre-load buffer size is too large. If

you have not changed the DFD setting, decrease the pre-load buffer size.

1. Open the DFD option and minimize

fine.)

2. Click the Expert Mode button.

3. Minimize the Channel Buffer Size.

4. Check the box and minimize;

Override Instruments preload size.

(If the samples are not played smoothly,

increase the preload size as needed unless

RAM runs out. It depends on the system,

but in most cases 6 -12 kb should work

______________________________________________________

Single note

key switch [B0]: Real time legato slide mode

With this mode, you can play legato slide by holding down one note while playing the next note

to connect those notes.

key switch [A#0]: Real time Hammer-on & Pull-off

With this mode, you can play Hammer-on and Pull-off by holding down one note while playing

the next note to connect those notes.

key switch [A0]: release trigger repetition mode

This mode allows you to shred notes very fast, and is good for not only making a rhythm

backing part but also simulating tremolo playing technique. (This feature also allows you to

play measured tremolo.)

Mute mode: mod wheel (MIDI CC# 1)

With this mode, mute and picking noise can be played using modulation wheel (MIDI CC# 1).

Mute samples are triggered if the value of MIDI CC# 1 is larger than the MIDI CC# 1 threshold

level. Picking noise samples are triggered if the value of MIDI CC# 1 is larger than the picking

noise threshold level.

Mute mode: velocity

With this mode, mute and picking noise can be played using velocity switch. Mute samples are

triggered if the note velocity is lower than the mute velocity threshold level. Picking noise

samples are triggered if the note velocity is lower than the mute velocity threshold level and the

value of MIDI CC# 1 is larger than the picking noise threshold level.

Mute mode (mod wheel / velocity switch), and the threshold levels can be changed through the

following MIDI CC numbers.

MIDI CC# 48 mute mode

0 - 63: modulation wheel (MIDI CC# 1) / 64 - 127: velocity

MIDI CC# 49 picking noise MIDI CC#1 (mod wheel) thresho ld level

MIDI CC# 50 mute MIDI CC#1 (mod wheel) threshold level

MIDI CC# 51 mute velocity thresho ld level

You can also play picking noise using Hold Key or Stop Key.

1. Click the the pull-down menu; options.

2. Select the play keys option.

3. Assign picking noise to a Hold Key or Stop Key by clicking the picking noise button.

Play Key (Hold Key and Stop Key)

Hold key

When the original note is released while the hold key is held down, the original note is

stopped and the selected samples are triggered.

Stop key

The original note is stopped and the selected samples are triggered when the stop key is

pressed.

How to customize the Play Keys...

Click the pull-down menu (options) and select play keys,

8

and click the button to assign the

noise to the Play Key.

For example, in the case of the picture above;

- If you release the original note while C1 is held down, the original note is stopped and

the finger release noise and the fret noise are triggered.

- If you release the original note while C#1 is held down, the pick stop noise and bridge

mute noise are triggered.- The picking noise is triggered when D1 is pressed,

- The picking noise and the fret noise are triggered when D#1 is pressed.

You can also control the buttons for each hold key / stop key through MIDI CC# 114,115,

116, 117, 118, and 119. (See the MIDI controllers section.)

Vibrato (single note)

When one of the single note instrument modes (except tremolo and trills) is active, vibrato

sound is available using Aftertouch (except when tremolo or trill is active). If your keyboard

doesn't have Aftertouch function but has an assignable slider or a knob, you can assign

Aftertouch to the slider / knob. (You can also handle Aftertouch data using your sequencer.)

You can select a vibrato type using MIDI CC# 5. (This controller is not effective unless

Aftertouch is ON)

MIDI CC# 5:

0 - 63: deep

64 - 127: light

Auto Stroke Detection (Auto Alternation)

There are several stroke detection modes and you can also control stroke direction

manually.When the time recognition mode is active, the instrument automatically detects

the current beat position and identifies proper stroke direction (down or up).

Auto alternation modes

There are four stroke modes. You can select the stroke mode

from the pull-down menu. You can also change the mode

using MIDI CC# 58.

(MIDI CC# 58: 0 - 31)

SPM automatically detects the current beat position and identify proper

stroke direction (down or up).

forced (default)

(MIDI CC# 58: 32 - 63)

Down stroke and up stroke are played alternately regardless of the current

beat position.

down only

(MIDI CC# 58: 64 - 95)

Only down stroke is played regardless of the current beat position.

Resolution

The stroke direction is determined according to the current

beat position and the resolution. You can select the

resolution for Auto Stroke Detection from the pull down menu.

You can also change the resolution using MIDI CC# 57.

Key Switch setting

How to customize the key switches;

Click the pull-down menu; options and select key switches, and the key switch setting

page is shown. You can choose a note by inputting a MIDI note number into the number

box, or click on the up / down arrows.

The note name is automatically updated when the value in the box is changed.

Tone control

You can cut off the high frequency with the tone knob. You can also

control the tone knob through MIDI CC# 59.

Pinch Harmonics threshold level

With the number box, you can change the velocity threshold level to

trigger a pinch harmonics sample. When the velocity of the note event

is higher than the threshold level, the pinch harmonics sample is

triggered. The threshold level can be changed through MIDI CC# 55.

Note:If you would like to turn off this feature, input 127 into the number box.

Auto sustain

12

4.

If the auto sustain is OFF, the samples stop playing when the note is

released and you can play polyphonic.You can also turn ON / OFF

the auto sustain through MIDI CC# 5

Tips - playing arpeggio using sustain pedal:

If you would like to play arpeggio, using sustain pedal (MIDI CC# 64) is a good way to do it.

While sustain pedal is ON, the auto sustain is deactivated automatically and you can play

polyphonic and the samples continue playing even if the note is released because the

sustain pedal is ON. When the new note is the same as one of the notes which is currently

sustained by sustain pedal, the same old note is canceled automatically. (No duplicate

notes are played.) When and sustain pedal is released (=OFF), the auto sustain is turned

on automatically.

About auto sustain featu re:With the Auto Sustain feature, you can avoid unwanted staccato which is caused by note off

when the same note (key) is repeated. After note-on, the note keeps playing until;

- next note-on event

- Hold Key or Stop Key is triggered

- the sample is streamed to the end.

The previous note is cancelled automatically when a new note is triggered. That means

your both hands are free until a new note is triggered. This feature gives you time to press a

key switch or move a controller and you are able to be ready for next note without stoppingyour performance. That is why the Auto Sustain feature enables you to control and switch

the various articulations smoothly with a single MIDI channel in real time.

Release time adjustment

When a new note is triggered the previous note is automatically

cancelled. You can adjust the release time of the previous note to

connect the notes smoothly. The range; 0 - 30 is recommended. It

depends on the instrument, tempo, and how the sound is processed (distortion, reverb,etc.) The release time can be controlled through MIDI CC# 62. (The Release time

adjustment is effective only when the Auto Sustain is ON.)
