The MIDI Filter Rule

This rule allows you to filter any type of MIDI event or group of events so that the instrument will ignore them. Simply check the box of any event that you want to be ignored.

The Reset All button will uncheck all the boxes. The Filter All button will check all the boxes.

The Legato Mode Rule

The Legato Mode rule allows you to play authentic legato lines in real time on your keyboard. This tool creates the most stunning and realistic note-to-note transitions ever. These can be used for long portamento slides bewteen notes or for natural legato note transitions. The rule automatically takes care of complex dimension switching in real time as you play the keyboard.

Legato Mode requires some very meticulous sampling sessions to capture all the intervals, speeds and loudness levels but the results are as realistic as can be.

The nice thing about this rule is that you need only to play the keyboard a certain way: there is no need for key switching or MIDI sequence editing. The rule does all the connecting work in real time as you play. All that is required is that you hold down one note while playing the next note in a phrase to connect those two notes. To avoid connecting the notes, you lift off a note before triggering the next note.
