GeoSWAM physical model of a Viola.

Parameters:
Bow Lift
Lift of the bow off the string.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0).
Bow Position
Position of the bow along the string.
Range: 0.05 to 0.15 (default 0.1).
Bow Pressure
Starting bow pressure.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Coarse Tune
Transposition in semitones.
Range: -12 to 12 (default 0).
Expression
Expression, the main dynamic-level control. Note that from MIDI, Expression can only be mapped to Channel Pressure (Mono Aftertouch, NOT poly Aftertouch).
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Fine Tune
Fine tuning in cents; ±100 cents = ±1 semitone.
Range: -100 to 100 cents (default 0).
Fingerboard interference
Amount of fingerboard interference (buzz) on pizzicato notes. Effective only in Play Mode 1 or 2 — always the case on GeoPizzBass; on GeoCello, GeoViola and GeoViolin set Play Mode first.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Harmonics
Harmonic played on the string: 0 = fundamental; higher values select natural harmonics.
Range: 0 to 3 (default 0).
Low V Porta Enable
Enable/disable Portamento.
Range: Off/On (default Off).
Low V Porta Threshold
The velocity (0 to 1 of full) below which a legato note glides when Low V Porta Enable is on. The model’s own ceiling is 0.4 (about velocity 50): softer notes glide, and the softer the longer. 0.4 keeps that; 0.6 makes notes up to about velocity 75 glide; lower values glide fewer notes. Above the threshold a note never glides.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Pan
Stereo pan position: 0 = hard left, 0.5 = center, 1 = hard right.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Pizz/C.Legno Control
The engine’s Pizz/C.Legno Control, applied while Play Mode is 1 or 2 (defaults to 1 on GeoPizzBass).
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0).
Pizzicato Tone
Tone of the pizzicato/col legno pluck. Effective only in Play Mode 1 or 2 — always the case on GeoPizzBass; on GeoCello, GeoViola and GeoViolin set Play Mode first.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Play Mode
Articulation of the string model: 0 = arco (bowed), 1 = pizzicato, 2 = col legno. GeoPizzBass defaults to 1 (its natural pizzicato); set 1 on GeoCello, GeoViola or GeoViolin to pluck instead of bow.
Range: 0 to 2 (default 0).
Portamento
Portamento between low velocity legato notes.
Range: 1 to 4 (default 1).
Tremolo
Tremolo speed: 0 = off, 1 = low, 2 = high.
Range: 0 to 2 (default 0).
Velocity Override
Control to override velocity so that velocity can be assigned to a slider/MIDI CC.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 1).
Velocity Override Enable
Enable/disable Velocity Override.
Range: Off/On (default Off).
Vibrato Amount
Amount of vibrato.
Range: 0 to 1.2 (default 0).
Vibrato Rate
Rate (speed) of the vibrato.
Range: 3 to 9 (default 6).
Volume
Output volume of the model.
Range: -100 to 0 (default 0).
