The Filter Envelope controls affect the filter frequency. Use the fields or tap and drag the “handles” of the envelope
to shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust the envelope’s influence on the filter frequency with
the
Env knob. See the later Anatomy of an Envelope section to learn about the envelope parameters.
The Amp Envelope controls affect level changes over time. Use the fields or tap and drag the “handles” of the
envelope to shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust the envelope’s influence on the filter
frequency with the
Env
knob. See the later
Anatomy of an Envelope
section to learn about the envelope parameters.
LFO Modulation
The
Modes
controls let you set the behavior for each pad’s samples in a drum program.
Use the
Mute Group field to assign the selected pad to one of the 32 available groups. When pads assigned to the
same mute group receive MIDI notes, the last pad played will silence all other pads in that mute group. A mute group
affects pads within that program only; mute groups do not affect pads in other programs.
Tip : This feature is useful for programming realistic hi-hats, especially if only the open or closed hat should be heard.
Use the
Layer Play
selector to determine how multiple samples assigned to the same pad are played:
Cycle ( Cyc ): Each time the pad is played, it will play the next layer’s sample. In other words, the samples will
cycle through the layers as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc.
Velocity
(
Vel
): The pad will switch between layers depending on how hard you press a pad.
Random ( Ran ): Each time the pad is played, it will play one of its layer’s samples at random.
Use the Sample Play selector to determine how much of the sample is played.
One Shot
: The entire sample will play from start to end. Use this when you want to play short sounds.
Note On : The sample will play only as long as the pad is held. This is better for longer samples so you can
control a sound’s duration by pressing and holding its corresponding pad.
