The 3.5 engine introduces a fully customizable articulation mapping system. In Shreddage DWP, you aren't stuck with pre-assigned keyswitches. You can drag, drop, and assign palm mutes, harmonics, pinch harmonics, tremolo picking, and chugs to any MIDI note or velocity layer. For fast metal riffs, this means you can program a palm-muted low string followed by an open harmonic without moving your hands across the keyboard. shreddage dwp
