Lo-Fi.
Processes Alpha Sampler’s output down to an 8 kHz sample rate and eight-bit
word depth for a crunchy, aggressive sound similar to classic vintage 8–bit hardware
samplers and drum machines.
Though it’s not exactly in the Output section, Alpha Sampler also includes MIDI
indicator light that illuminates to indicate that Alpha Sampler is receiving MIDI data.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Monophonic.
Limits Alpha Sampler to playing one note at a time. Mono mode is
“last-note priority”, i.e., If a new note is played while another is held, the most recently
struck note will sound and cut off the last one. New notes will always retrigger the
sample from its beginning.
Loop.
Causes the sample to repeatedly loop back to its beginning if a key is held longer
than the entire duration of the sample.
Reverse.
Plays the sample backward, but be careful as you might invoke the spirits of
sneaky classic rock bands.
Root Key.
Adjusts the base note of the sample – think of this as the “home base” key
where the sample plays at standard pitch (i.e. not transposed). Adjusting the root key is
useful for transposing the range of samples.
