This algorithm plays audio files, using a 1V/octave pitch input (Y) to both select the sample and
control its pitch. This would typically be used for playing a multisampled instrument across a range
of pitches, or for mapping individual sounds (e.g. drums) to different notes.
X is a retrigger input. A trigger pulse in excess of 1V will reset the playback position to the start of
the sample.
The Z knob/CV provides a tuning control, with a range of approximately ±0.5 octaves. Note that
this is applied after the sample has been selected using the Y CV; changing Z will not affect the
sample selection.
A & B are the left & right audio outputs respectively.
Parameter 1 shifts the pitch up or down in octave increments. It is equivalent to offsetting the pitch
CV input – it also affects the sample selection.
Parameters 0 & 2 are the standard sample folder and envelope time parameters, described above.
Parameter 5 offsets (delays) the retrigger/gate input relative to the pitch input. This is useful to
allow pitch CVs to settle before they are sampled on the rising gate, and also to cope with modules
which output both a pitch and gate but change their pitch first. In both cases, an offset allows the
algorithm to choose the correct sample, rather than choosing the wrong sample and then re-pitching
it to match the CV.
MIDI Input
: MIDI note on & off messages are handled equivalently to a trigger or gate on the X
input – that is, a note on retriggers the sample, and if the envelope time is non-zero, a note off will
stop the playback. Additionally, the pitch of the note on message is used instead of the Y input CV,
so you can effectively play the disting like a sampler from a MIDI keyboard. MIDI note 48 (C3)
corresponds to a 0V input. MIDI pitch bend is supported; parameter 4 sets the bend depth in
semitones.
Parameter 3 'MIDI mode' works in the same way as for algorithm I-3 – see above.
Multisample playlists
As with other algorithms, playlist files are optional, but you will almost certainly want to use
playlists within the folders to specify the “natural” and “switch” settings that determine the mapping
of samples onto pitch.
