Mapping

Mapping determines the range of notes on the keyboard or other controller that will play the sample, 
and how the sample will respond to those notes - e.g. whether it will always play at the same pitch or at 
different pitches corresponding to the notes played. You can, for example, have a single sample played 
across the entire note range, several split or overlapping samples played in different note ranges, or 
many samples each played by an individual key/note.

 Step-by-Step procedure on page 46.

3.

Filter, EG, and LFO

If you want to actually modify the sound of your samples to create a desired musical effect, you might 
want to apply:

• Static or dynamic velocity-controlled filtering to modify the timbre of the sound or created “wah-

wah” type effects.

 Step-by-Step procedure on page 47.

• Envelope-generator-based amplitude, filter, or pitch variations such that the controlled parameter 

varies over time whenever a note is played.

 Step-by-Step procedure on page 50.

SAMPLE 1

SAMPLE 2

SAMPLE 3

MAPPING

Filter cutoff (or center) frequency 

controlled by note velocity, 

envelope generator or LFO.

FILTER

ENVELOPE

Envelope generators can produce time-based 

variations in amplitude, filter frecuency or pitch.
