GLOBAL
The Global button makes the Performance Controls (Pitch, Filter, Envelope, Output,
Loop, Reverse, and Lo-Fi) affect all currently loaded sounds simultaneously. This is
handy when multiple loops or drum sounds are playing and you want to modify
everything at once (such as a filter sweep on everything). Global mode is toggled on
and off by clicking the button; when global mode is active, the Performance Controls
background turns yellow. When Global mode is switched off, the background returns
to gray and the Performance Controls become independently settable for individual
pad locations.
If you’ve already set Performance Control parameters for individual pads prior to
engaging Global mode, the settings for that parameter will remain until that parameter
is adjusted at which point it will affect all pads equally. For example, let’s say filter
cutoff is set to differing amounts for multiple pads, then the Global is engaged. The
individual filter cutoff settings for each pad will remain until the cutoff knob is adjusted.
At that point, all pads will jump to the current setting. Keep in mind that this becomes
the “current” knob position – changed knob positions won’t return to their old values if
the Global button is disengaged.
MODULATION
The Modulation section consists of a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) capable of
controlling Omni Sampler’s pitch or filter cutoff frequency, resulting in vibrato, wah
wah effects, and more. One good way to think of a modulation LFO is as a “third hand”
to automatically turn controls up and down. Modulation amount is controlled using
your keyboard controller’s mod wheel (or any other physical controller set to transmit
MIDI controller #1).
Speed. Adjusts the rate of the LFO.
Filter and Pitch Buttons. These buttons select the modulation destination. Pressing
Filter causes the LFO to modulate the cutoff frequency of the filter. Pressing Pitch
causes the LFO to modulate the pitch. Both can be selected simultaneously.
