The Mando-Tremolo Rule

The Mando-Tremolo rule was designed as a means to emulate instruments that are often played in a tremolo style (the quick repetition of the same note), like the mandolin for example.

Developer Requirements

1 set of standard sustain samples (preferably alternating strokes)

1 Smart MIDI Processor Dimension (up to 256 splits)

Once the Smart MIDI Processor Dimension has been created, you can assign the Mando-Tremolo rule to your instrument. The samples are played back in the same order that they are sequenced within the Smart MIDI Processor Dimension splits (alternating up and down stroke samples is a good idea).
