Master
In the Master tab, you can set the playback mode and
tuning for the overall program.
Polyphony sets the playback mode for the program’s
keygroups. In Mono Mode, only one keygroup will sound at
a time. If a keygroup is played while another (or the same
one) is still playing its sample/samples, the new keygroup
will immediately mute all other currently playing keygroups
in that program. In Poly Mode, several keygroups can be
triggered at the same time (limited only by the total number
of voices available).
Semi lets you tune the program up to 36 semitones up or
down.
Fine provides fine-tuning of the program up to 99 cents up or down.
Transpose shifts the pitch of sample up to 36 semitones up or down. This function is identical to the Semi knob; it
does not affect the transposition of any connected MIDI controller hardware.
KG Select (Keygroup Select) lets you select a specific keygroup for editing. This parameter works in conjunction with
the Number of KG (keygroups) parameter at the top of the touchscreen, which lets you create up to 128 keygroups
within one keygroup program. A default keygroup program contains only one single keygroup. When you have
created more than one keygroup with Number of KG, use KG Select to select any keygroup for editing. All selects
all available keygroups of a keygroup program for simultaneous editing.
Key Track allows you to switch a sample’s automatic transposition on or off. If this is off, you will always hear the
same pitch of the sample, no matter which note is triggered by pads or a connected MIDI keyboard.
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.
Note Range lets you restrict the key range used for a sample’s playback. Only notes with a key number higher or
equal (Lo) or lower and equal (Hi) to the selected value will trigger a sound. The settings for Lo and Hi are also shown
in the virtual keyboard in the Edit Layers section. Alternatively, tap the piano-keys icon to open the Set Keygroup
Note Range window.
Tip: Set the Lo parameter to A0 and the Hi parameter to C8 to emulate the range of a standard 88-key piano.
Semi lets you transpose the sample 36 semitones up or down, while Fine provides fine-tuning of each layer up to 99
cents up or down.
Tip: The Edit Layers section has some parameters similar to those in this section (Level, Pan, Semi, Fine, Note
Range). Remember that Key Group parameters control the overall settings for the sample, while Edit Layer
parameters control the settings for each layer (up to 4).
