SAMPLE DISPLAY WINDOW
Load Sound.
Opens the dialog box letting you select a sample to load into Alpha
Sampler. Since Alpha Sampler can only have one sound loaded at a time, newly loaded
sounds will erase previously loaded sounds. The display directly beneath the Load
Sound displays the file name of the currently loaded sound.
VOLUME ENVELOPE
This is a simple attack/release envelope generator affecting the sample’s volume.
Attack.
Tegulates the onset of a sound; at zero, the sound begins immediately, as the
attack setting is increased, the sound takes longer to reach maximum volume.
Release.
Affects the volume of the sample after the key is released. Set at zero, the
sample will stop as soon as the key is released. As the release setting is increased, the
sample fades away gradually. Higher settings increase the length of time.
While we’re talking about volume, we should mention that samples loaded into Alpha
Sampler are velocity-sensitive. In other words, play the keyboard softly and samples
will play quietly. Conversely, playing hard will cause samples to play loudly.
