Global
In the Global tab, you can set the playback mode and tuning for the overall Program.
Semi lets you transpose the program up to 36 semitones up or down.
Fine provides fine-tuning of the program up to 99 cents up or down.
Poly (polyphony) sets the playback mode for the program’s pads. In Mono Mode, only one pad will sound at a time.
If a pad is played while another (or the same one) is still playing its sample/samples, the new pad will immediately
mute all other currently playing pads in that program. In Poly Mode, several pads can be triggered at the same time
(limited only by the total number of voices available).
Level controls the overall volume level of the loaded sample/samples.
Pan controls the overall panning of the loaded sample/samples in the stereo field.
Use the Mute Group field to assign the selected pad to one of the 32 available groups. When pads assigned to the
same mute group receive MIDI notes, the last pad played will silence all other pads in that mute group. A mute group
affects pads within that program only; mute groups do not affect pads in other programs.
Tip: This feature is useful for programming realistic hi-hats, especially if only the open or closed hat should be heard.
Use the Layer Play selector to determine how multiple samples assigned to the same pad are played:
Cycle: Each time the pad is played, it will play the next layer’s sample. In other words, the samples will cycle
through the layers as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc.
Velocity: The pad will switch between layers depending on how hard you press a pad.
Random: Each time the pad is played, it will play one of its layer’s samples at random.
