Records and plays back short MIDI sequences. 12 drop zones per output row per keyswitch. Supports CC automation curves for Mod Wheel and Expression.
Maps incoming MIDI values through custom curves. Supports Note-On velocity remapping, CC remapping, and MIDI VCA channels for modulation.
Handles switching between playing techniques on hosted instruments (sustain, pizzicato, tremolo, etc.) via trigger notes and scripts.
Each output row can be given a name (e.g., "Violin I", "Brass", "Timpani") which appears throughout the UI. This makes large templates much easier to navigate.
