Alt Method
Each sample root in a keymap can have an alternate sample start point. The sample start
points in the selected keymap can be varied between the original and alternate start point by
using an assigned physical controller or other control source. This can be useful for emulating
legato playing of acoustic instrument sounds, by skipping the initial attack section of samples
for legato notes.
When the Alt Method parameter is set to Switched, the PC4 will use the Alt point as the
sample start point when the assigned controller is at a value greater than 64. When Alt
Method is set to Continuous, the sample start point will vary between the original and
alternate start point depending on the value of the assigned controller.
Alt Control
Each sample root in a keymap can have an alternate sample start point. The sample start
points in the selected keymap can be varied between the original and alternate start point by
using an assigned physical controller or other control source. This can be useful for emulating
legato playing of acoustic instrument sounds, by skipping the initial attack section of samples
for legato notes.
Use the Alt Control parameter to select a control source that will adjust the sample start
point.
Emulating Legato Play
If you place the Alt point after the initial attack transients of a sample, you can use the Alt
Switch to emulate legato playing in an acoustic instrument, by skipping the initial attack
section of samples for legato notes.
Setting the Alt Control parameter to Chan St (Channel State) will cause the alternate sample
start point to be used whenever another note is already being held. (Chan St sends a value
of 127 whenever at least one note is being held in the program’s MIDI channel.) This allows
non-overlapping notes to use the sample’s original start point, while overlapping notes will
use the alternate start point.
Timbre Shift
This parameter works only on multi-sample keymaps, and changes the root selection for each
key you play. A timbre-shifted note retains its original pitch, but its harmonics are those of
the same timbre at a higher or lower pitch. Positive values for this parameter tend to brighten
a sound, while negative values darken.
