sample. Note that the name of the currently active Sample Slot is
highlighted.
Clear:
To the right of the sample's name is the "Clear" button ( "X" icon).
Clicking on this button removes the currently loaded sample from the
selected slot.
Velocity:
The Velocity setting determines the velocity range in which a
particular sample is triggered. Setting different velocity ranges for
individual samples allows you to create expressive multisampled
instruments that respond dynamically to MIDI input. For example,
imagine that you have three samples assigned to a single key. If you
set the sample velocities so that sample 1 is triggered in the 1 to 59
velocity range, and sample 2 is triggered in the 60 to 89 velocity
range you have what is known as hard velocity switching. If however,
you overlap the two samples' velocities (for example, sample 1 is
triggered in the 1 to 80 velocity range while sample 2 is triggered in
the 50 to 100 velocity range) you create what is known as a velocity
crossfade. In the crossover region (50 to 80) the volume of one
sample is successively reduced, while the volume of the other
sample is successively increased until only one sample is heard.
Clicking on the “Vel” label open a menu which allows you to
automatically assign velocity regions to the currently loaded samples.
This is useful when you build kits from scratch and have loaded a
number of samples to a pad to create a multisampled sound. In the
menu “Up” assigns the lowest velocity range to the first sample while
“Dw” (Down) assigns the highest velocity range to the first sample.
The “Lin” and “Log” sub entries refer to a linear or a logarithmic
assignment (where the lower ranges are not as detailled than the
higher velocity ranges).
Delay:
The Delay setting determines the position in the sample at which
playback begins. This is often referred to as Offset or Shift and
allows you to start the sample at a position after the normal starting
point. Offsetting the starting point of a sample is useful when layering
sounds or when the attack portion of a sample is too slow.
Vol:
The Vol (Volume) setting adjusts the volume of samples. This
parameter is useful when the samples used in a multisampled
instrument have different volume levels. Adjusting the Vol setting
enables multisamples to be matched to each other thereby producing
a more realistic Instrument. The Vol setting can also be used to
adjust the volume of individual samples within layered Instruments in
order to make them sound smoother.
