MIDI TRIGGER
BASE: 060
The Base value is the note where the sample will play back with no pitch
change.
4) Press the
VALUE buttons to select the desired note. Note number 60 = Middle
C.
5) Press the
PAGE "Up" button. The next display will read:
MIDI TRIGGER
HIGH LIMIT: 127
6) Press the VALUE "Down" button to select the highest desired note to trigger
the recorded sample. Note number 60 = Middle C.
PLEASE NOTE:
Because of the nature of sampling, the timing of the sample as well as the
pitch will change substantially the farther away from the base note that it's
triggered, with the higher notes sounding like "munchkins" and the lower
notes like "giants". This is a normal phenomena that occurs during sample
playback.
The pitch of the sample will follow within a 2 octave range and will loop back
into the range if any note information falls outside of the 2 octave range. For
instance, if the base note has been selected to note number 60 (Middle C or
C3) and note number 84 (C5) is played, the sample pitch will be triggered 1
octave higher than the bass (C4).
ADJUSTING THE SAMPLE PLAYBACK LENGTH
In any playback mode it is possible to adjust the sample playback length in order
to either ignore unwanted sampled material or "dead air", or in order to make a
loop more musical. This is accomplished in the following manner.
1) Press the
DELAY button. The display will read:
SAMPLE PLAYBACK:
ONE SHOT
2) Press the PAGE "Up" button. The display will read:
SAMPLE START:
0.00 SECONDS
