—If
loop
is on for a sampled instrument, this
controls the length of the crossfade between the loop start and loop end.
Some sounds benefit from longer loops in order to smooth the transition
between these points.
Loop Mode: Regular, Pitched, Sync
—Sets how the sustain loop behaves
in an instrument or sample (if a loop exists in the sample). In
regular
mode, the loop plays continuously while a key is held. In
pitched
mode,
the loop becomes a pitch period calculated based on the assigned note of
the sample. You can change the size of this pitch period by pressing Soft
Key 4 (Inst1 Edit) and changing the
loop size
setting. A
loop size
setting
of of 1 indicates a single pitch period. In
sync
mode, the loop plays back
in sync with the master clock BPM. This is useful for loops that consist
of rhythmic material that you wish to synchronize to the sequencer and
arpeggiator.
Edit Sample: On, Off
—If you have edited a sample’s start, end, or loop
size or center, turning off
edit sample
will temporarily ignore the edits
and play the sample in its original, unmodified state.
Sample Vel:
On, Off
—Toggles velocity sensitivity and velocity-based
multi-sample switching on or off for the selected instrument. Turning
sample velocity off will cause the Prophet X to always play the sample
normally designated to have the greatest velocity. It will not switch
samples based on how hard you play, as it usually would.
