What is the meaning of SW and JS in the voice name?

[johan]

Some voices end with separate characters. I could find p stands for piano (= soft), f for forte (loud), mf for mezzo-forte (moderately loud). But what do they mean with voices that end with SW (sweep?) and JS?

JS means joystick, move the stick back and forward to change the sound

MW is the equivalent for keyboards with mod wheels

Not sure about SW

SW ,  Rotary switch ik think

Hi Johan,

"SW" in a Voice name is probably derived from "Switch" (Velocity Switch). Such Voices produce a different sound at higher velocities.


Best regards,

If JS is for "joy stick" then maybe SW is for "foot switch" (switch), vs foot pedal.
