Playing and Articulation Control
PDQ Bass uses no key switches. Articulations are selected by velocity across the F1 to E5 range. Low velocity triggers palm mutes and fingered notes, mid-to-high velocity produces sustained alternate picking, and maximum velocity plays slapped notes.
The Velocity Min and Velocity Max sliders compress incoming MIDI, so you can remove articulations you do not want, such as palm mutes, without editing individual notes. A non-repeating round robin engine cycles through five samples and never plays the same one twice in a row.
The Force Downpick switch mutes the up-stroke articulations and can be automated from your DAW.
