Root Key
The root key represents the keyboard key at which the sample will play back without
transposition (that is, at the same pitch as the pitch of the original sample). Use the -/+ buttons or
Alpha Wheel to select a RootKey note, or use the alphanumeric pad followed by the
Enter
button
to enter a RootKey by MIDI note number.
Pitch Adjust
Use this parameter to change the pitch of the sample relative to the key from which it’s played.
Setting a value of
100cts
, for example, will cause the sample to play back one semitone higher
than normal. This parameter is handy for fine tuning samples to each other if they’re slightly out
of tune.
Volume Adjust
Uniformly boost or cut the amplitude of the entire sample.
Alternative Start Volume Adjust (AltVolAdjust)
This parameter sets the amplitude of the sample when the alternative start is used. See
page 6-16
for a discussion of AltSwitch.
Decay Rate
This parameter defines how long the sample takes to decay (fade) to zero amplitude (silence).
Decay
Rate affects each sample individually, and is in effect only when the amplitude envelope
for the program (the Mode parameter on the AMPENV page in the Program Editor) is set to
Natural
. If Mode is
User
, the settings on the AMPENV page override the setting for DecayRate.
DecayRate takes effect in the loop portion of the sample, after all the attack stages of the
amplitude envelope are complete.
