Not at all! We've updated the user manual
here with some more information in regards to this patch. Page 12 is what you're looking for.

Thanks - the new manual is very helpful.
There so much going on here though - some really brilliant scripting I have to say, especially on the vibrato. I wonder if you could clarify a few things:
1. "five different types of true legato: Portamento Legato, Fingered Legato, Bowed Legato, Runs and Arpeggios"
Q: what's the difference between runs and arpeggios? Are arpeggios different from the fast legatos (as seems to be implied)? Are these 5 legatos conceived differently from Sacconi?
2. "Molto Vibrato - Within the range 65-127, an intense vibrato is triggered which is exaggerated above 75."
Q: I'm trying to figure out what exactly is going on here (and what might be the impact of turning off time machine, since it's immensely expensive). Are there two different recordings of molto (c21 ~ 65-74) and extra-molto vibrato (75-127), or is time machine at work, or is it a script (in the style of, for instance, embertone)? Or is the idea that you can crossfade during a performance?
UPDATE: oh, here's the answer right in the manual: "1b: Utilise TM increases the vibrato rate above 75. Turn this off if your CPU is struggling. "
I was wondering how that was done, it sounded too good to be scripted.
3. "Progressive Vibrato - Within the range 33-64, the player begins the note without vibrato and progresses into vibrato. Depending on the note velocity, the player’s progression to vibrato will be slow or fast. Lower velocities, 1-9, trigger a slow progression to vibrato, and high velocities, 10-127 trigger quick progressions. "
Q: Now this is an immensely cool feature. Similar question though - is this where the time machine is being used? Or are there separate recordings of faster and slower progressive vibrato?
4. "Staccato and Spiccato
With CC21 set to 6-127 spiccatos feature as a short attack, whilst staccatos can be found at CC21, 1-5. The Velocity of these short notes then determines the nature of the note attack.
Attacks: Vel 1-9 natural attack
(CC21: 1-5) Vel 10-127 Staccato 4x RR pp, mf, & ‘noise’
(CC21: 6-127) Vel 10-127 Spiccato 8x RR pp, mf, & ‘noise’.
Q: Is there any way to alter the 1-9 velocity range of a natural attack. I think my keyboard just isn't sensitive enough to make hitting this range reliably, so this is a very major niggle.
In fact I'd go so far as to say that the added playability of the staccato comes at
Similarly for the progressive legato which is sensitive to a 1-9 velocity.
Alternately, it would be nice to just turn off the staccato feature entirely in some circumstances. Especially if this is where time machine is hitting the CPU.
Thanks!
