# Key Switches

The key switches we use are identical to the trigger keys used in the output mapping of the Articulation Sets. This means if (for instance) E0 is used to switch to “Tremolo” in a particular library, we also use E0 to make the articulation map switch to Tremolo. For Spitfire libraries, the key switches follow the natural order of the articulation within the instrument. See below for more details.

In addition to this, we’ve consolidated the most important key switches into the first octave, starting at C-2. This way, all libraries behave the same regarding those changes.

There are a couple of instruments that do not follow this order. This is because they don’t contain enough techniques which fall into the categories in the diagram above. The name of the template of those instruments ends with a swung dash “\~”.

Here’s the layout:
