Wave 3.V. Only the left channel will be played.
SAMPLE RATE
Shows the original sample rate of the loaded sample. You
can edit it by desire to change pitch of the sample.
The sample rate is the frequency representing the amount
of individual digital sample scans per second that are
taken to capture the original siginal digitally. For normal
CD audio recordings 44100 samples per second are used,
mostly indicated as a frequency of 44.1 kHz
ROOT KEY C-2...G8
The root key defines the original pitch of a recorded
instrument or of a sample. Each root key represents a
specific key on the keyboard. Lower settings of the ROOT
KEY tune down the sample, higher settings tune it up. If a
sample was recorded with a pitch that doesn´t match to
the ROOT KEY values you can use the SAMPLE RATE for
an exact tuning.
