Hello,

I've watched many of Bert Smorenburg's astonishing Motif XS demo videos. When demoing acoustic guitar sounds, he often makes the guitar slide over several frets - not just a pitch bend. I've searched and cannot find an explanation how he does it.

For example, at 7:45 and 7:56 in this video:

Would someone be kind enough to tell me what's the trick? (Hopefully it's universal to all acoustic guitars?)

Thanks.

Figured it out. I went back and watched this and another video again, and from the movement of his left arm guessed at what he might be doing - it's the Assignable Function 1 key.

Better still - it's accessible through the XS Editor VST, and automatable in Cubase.

For future reference - is there somewhere I might have found this information?

Thanks.

In the Motif XS Owner's Manual search "XA CONTROL" Expanded Articulation Control - which controls the behavior on a per Element basis within the Voice. See Pages 112-113
