including hands-on tutorials, see “PCM as a VPM
modulator” on page 305, and “Waveshaping” on page 306.
Overview
Disabling the PCM Oscillator
If the PCM Oscillator is not being used, you can disable it to
save processing power. You can do this in two ways:
1. Set all MS Type parameters to Off, instead of
Multisample.
or:
2. Make sure that the PCM Oscillator is not connected to
anything else on the Patch Panel.
This includes both patch cable connections, and the
normalled connections of the algorithm. If necessary, select a
different algorithm in which the PCM Oscillator is not
connected to anything else on the Patch Panel.
5–2a: Multisamples
Velocity splits
Each Oscillator has four velocity zones, named MS1 (High)
through MS4 (Low). Each of these zones can play a different
Multisample, and has separate settings for Level, Start
Offset, and so on.
Note that, unlike the HD-1, crossfades and layers are not
supported.
MS1 (High)
These are the settings for the first and highest velocity zone.
If you want to create a simple setup with only a single
Multisample, just set up MS1 as desired, and then set the
Bottom Velocity to 1.
Type [Off, Multisample]
This selects whether MS1 will play a Multisample, or
nothing at all. You can use this to disable any of the four
Multisamples.
If all four MS are set to Off, the PCM Oscillator will be
disabled entirely, saving processing power.
Bank [List of Multisample Banks]
There are four types of Multisample Banks: ROM ,
SAMPLING mode , EXs , and User Sample Banks.
ROM Multisamples are the built-in “factory” sounds, and
are always available.
Smp (SAMPLING Mode) Multisamples are the ones that
you can see and edit in SAMPLING mode. After the
abbreviation “Smp,” several different things may appear, as
described below.
Smp: Old RAM means that this is an older Program
pointing to the legacy “RAM” bank. Instead of pointing to a
specific User Sample Bank, it will use whatever
Multisample data is loaded into SAMPLING mode.
Smp: New Sampling Session will appear when there’s data
in SAMPLING mode which hasn’t yet been saved to drive as
a User Sample Bank. For instance, this might happen if
you’ve loaded an old KSC file, loaded individual Samples or
Multisamples, or recorded some new samples. Once the
KSC is saved to drive, the name will update to show the file
path (as described below).
Smp: [file name] will appear when a User Sample Bank has
been loaded into SAMPLING mode. The name is the file
name itself along with those of all its enclosing folders.
