RELEASE
Range: 000 to 127
Default: 45
Works on: Sample tracks
This function applies a fade-out to the sample. Higher values increase the length of
the fade;
0 applies no fade at all. This feature is primarily intended for use on COM-
POSED LOOP and FREE tracks.
A fade-out refers to a gradual drop in the sample level. The following illustration
shows the concept.
Release=0 (No fade-out) Release>0 (Fade-out)
On COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks: The level starts to fade-out at the note off
(pad release). Note that the release cannot extend beyond the current end-point set-
ting of the sample. (If you hold the pad until the sample reaches its end point, you
will not get a release.)
Note that you can use high RELEASE settings to get a sample to overlap its own
sound during playback. In order to enable overlap, you must set the ASSIGN param-
eter (in the TRACK SET | NOTE ASSIGN job) to
MULTI (

p.234). The following il-
lustration shows the kind of overlap you can get on a COMPOSED LOOP track.
