This section of the Edit Page contains settings that are specific for the currently selected instrument. Click the arrow button in the top left of this section to open the Instrument Select menu, or use the scroll wheel while holding the cursor over the arrow to select an instrument.
The Pedals section offers control of how AK responds to MIDI Pedal messages.
- Softness adjusts how much the incoming velocity should be attenuated when the soft pedal (Una Corda) is pressed.
- Pedal Noise adjusts the volume of the recorded noise from pressing the pedal. At 0, the Pedal Noise sounds at the level it was recorded.
- Sustain Body adjusts the amount of sympathetic resonance between strings in the instrument while the sustain pedal is pressed. The more you add, the “richer” the sustain tone will sound. At 0, the Sustain Body sounds at its natural level. Sustain Noise adjusts the level of the natural inharmonic noise from all undamped strings that happens when the sustain pedal is pressed. At 0, the Sustain Noise sounds at its natural level.
Note: All these options are not available for all instruments.
Vel > Sample - allows you to filter out the lowest and/or highest velocity layers of the current instrument, while keeping the dynamic range intact. This means that if you retract the Vel > Sample slider to a thin line, Addictive Keys will only play samples from a single velocity layer, but you still get normal volume differences on those samples based on velocity.
