GeoSWAM physical model of a Viola.

For general help on GeoSWAM instruments click here.

Parameters:

Volume

Volume for the Viola Model.

Bow Lift

Selects the starting/ending state of the bow. Note, this parameter acts mainly on the release, stopping the vibration of the string when it is set to "On String" (value=1).

It also acts slightly on the attack, but if you want to obtain a scratchy sound you should act on the velocity and on the bow pressure.

Off String (value=0): the bow does not touch the string.

On String (value=1): the bow touches the string.

Bow Position

Distance from the bridge where the string is bowed.

Bow Pressure

How hard the bow is pressed into the string during bowing.

Vibrato Amount

Amount of vibrato.

Expression

Expression control when bowing. Note that Expression can only be mapped to Channel Pressure (Mono Aftertouch, NOT poly Aftertouch).

Tremolo

Tremolo control when bowing.

Harmonics

Excite different harmonics when bowing.

Portamento

Portamento between low velocity legato notes.

Portamento Enable

Enable/disable Portamento
