Keyboard

A keyboard of CC Glissando has the following features:

  • When you touch a key, the pitch of the pressed key will be pronounced regardless of the touch position.
  • You can play smooth glissandos by sliding your fingers along the keys while keeping them on the keyboard.
  • Vibrato is applied by shifting your touch from side to side.
  • Up to four touches can be operated simultaneously, allowing for duets and chord playing.

Sound Controller

You can change the loudness, attack, and tone by changing the position of your touch on the sound controller.
The Sound Gauge is a gadget that allows you to check the touch position of the controller.
The two lines at the top and bottom of the gauge represent the upper and lower ranges, and a round dot acts as a cursor to indicate the touch position.

  • The loudness of the sound can be changed by the horizontal position of your touch; moving further to the right will make the sound louder.
  • The attack and tone change depending on the vertical position of your touch.
    • The attack will be sharper when the touch is in the higher position.
    • When the touch is lower, the tone becomes muffled and soft.
  • When you release the touch, the cursor returns to the center.
