JSS Lite BETA Overview
Hover/Click on the GUI image for more information
Fake Divisi
Experimental. Performs the "Transposition trick" under the hood, by using neighboring samples and re-pitching them up/down to match the expected pitch. Doesn't sound great in isolation but can be useful as a layer.
Articulation Grid
Click or keyswitch to change between articulations. ALT + CLICK to purge. (LED turns red)
Different colour tiles represent different articulation categories - which will make more sense once the full version is out.
Performance Options
Use keyswitches to override the automatic playback behaviour. You can force repetitions, non-repetitions, and alternative (slightly messy) sample options
Variations
Variations are another dimension to the playback behaviour, which can be overruled via keyswitch or clicking on an option.
Latch Mode
Toggle between Latch or Momentary mode for keyswitches. Momentary keyswitches will revert back to the previous articulation once the keyswitch is let off.
Articulation Settings
Click the wrench/spanner button to show more settings for the active articulation. The "Piano Keys" page shows the Performance Options page with keyswitches (as shown in this image)
Keyswitch Value
Drag Up/Down or type in a new note value for the keyswitch. It will be reflected on the grid tile.
Sample Start Offset
Set's the amount of time (ms) before the "pre-note" or transient. This value is global across all articulations in this patch, allowing you to set a single negative track delay.
Attack / Release
Standard ADSR controls for envelope attack and release.
Mic Toggle
Click to purge or load mic positions
Pan & Width
For Main, Ambient, and Mids, these knobs will be for Stereo Width, and Panning of the stereo channel. For the Close mics, this is offered as 2 independent Mono sources.
Mic position diagram
A visual representation of where the mics were located for each signal.

Channel Output
Select from a list of available plugin outputs
Dynamic Scaling
Drag up to raise the dynamic floor, drag down to lower the dynamic ceiling. CTRL + Click to reset back to full range.
CC Scaling
Click to toggle On/Off. Controls the dynamic scaling slider with MIDI CC, allowing for automation in your MIDI track.

MIDI velocity values to show where each dynamic begins
Dynamic Layers
Dynamic markings to show how many real dynamic layers are available for the active articulation
Dynamic Control Type
Switch between Velocity or Modwheel for control over dynamics
Con Sordino
