Program P4: String 4-3: PCM Oscillator Pitch
243
Similarly, RAM Multisamples can play either from the
beginning of the waveform, or from the loop start
point.
Start Offsets: ROM and EXs Multisamples
With ROM and EXs Multisamples, the Start Offset
specifies whether to use the normal start point (Off), or
to use one of the alternate start points (1st–8th).
Some ROM and EXs Multisamples may have fewer
than 8 pre-programmed points, in which case only the
available points can be selected.
Start Offsets: RAM Multisamples
With RAM Multisamples, only Off and 1st are
available. Off uses the normal start point, and 1st uses
the loop start instead. 2nd through 8th will be grayed
out.
Bottom Velocity [1…127]
This sets the lowest velocity at which the Multisample
or will sound. MS1’s Bottom Velocity can be equal to,
but not lower than, than that of MS2.
MS2 (Mid Hi), MS3 (Mid Lo), and MS4
(Low)
These are the settings for the second, third, and fourth
velocity zones. The parameters for MS2 and MS3 are
exactly the same as those for MS1, as described above.
The parameters for MS4 are also similar to those for
MS1, except that MS4 has no setting for Bottom
Velocity (which is always fixed at 1).

4-3: PCM Oscillator Pitch
This section controls the pitch modulation for the PCM
oscillator.
Important: when using the PCM Oscillator as an
excitation for the string, the “pitch” of the PCM will
affect the timbre of the string, and not the pitch of the
overall sound.
On the other hand, when the string is used as a
resonator or comb filter (by setting the string’s Decay
and Damping to moderate values), the PCM Oscillator
will control the overall pitch of the sound.
4-3a: Main
Octave [–2[32’], –1[16’], +0[8’], +1[4’]]
This sets the basic pitch of the PCM Oscillator, in
octaves. The default is +0[8'].
Transpose [–12…+12]
This adjusts the pitch in semitones, over a range of ±1
octave.
Tune [–1200…+1200]
This adjusts the pitch in cents, over a range of ±1
octave. A cent is 1/100 of a semitone.
