Ignore Release (IgnRelease)
When set to a value of Off, the sample will release normally when the note trigger is released.
When set to On, the note will not release, even when the note trigger is released. This setting
should be used only with samples that normally decay to silence; non-decaying samples will
play forever at this setting. This parameter is equivalent to the IgnRelease parameter on the
LAYER page, but affects only the currently selected sample.
SampleRate and NumSamples
These parameters cannot be edited, but show the sample’s sample rate and the sample’s length
in samples. Samples that are longer than 1 million samples are displayed a 1Ms.
The Sample Trim parameters below let you set the Start, Alternative Start, Loop, and End
points of the current sample. The right side of the top line displays the root number of
the sample. If the sample is part of a group of sample roots, you can use the CHANNEL/
LAYER/ZONE/TRACK buttons to scroll through each sample in the group.
Selecting these parameters and adjusting their values enables you to modify how the
sample plays back when notes are triggered. Each of these parameter points are expressed in
individual samples. For example, a one second sample at a sample rate of 44,100Hz would
have 44,100 values available to adjust for each of these parameters.
Start
The Start point determines the beginning of the current sample. You can truncate the
beginning of the sample by increasing the value of the Start parameter. You might do this to
remove silence at the beginning of a sample, or to remove some or all of the attack. You can’t
decrease the Start point of samples below zero.
Alternative Start
The Alternative Start parameter lets you set a second, optional start or end point for the
current sample. The Alternative Start will be used when the Alt Control parameter on the
KEYMAP page is set to On, or when Alt Control is assigned to a control source with a value
above its halfway point. See
for details.
The Alternative Start can be set before, after, or at the same point as the Start or End. If you
set the Alternative Start after the End, you can extend the play of looped samples. Normally,
looped samples will play through to the End, then will loop back to the Loop point, and
continue looping like this until the note is released, when they go into their normal release.
If the Alternative Start is set after the End, looped samples will loop in the same way while
notes are sustained. As soon as you release the notes, however, the samples will play through
to the Alternative Start point before going into release.
Loop
The Loop parameter sets the beginning of the looped portion of the current sample. The
Loop can be set at any point before the End, including before the Start and Alternative Start.
If you try to move it after the End, the End will move with it.
