In the Pad Inspector there are the following controls:
Control… Description…
Output You can select from one of 16 audio outputs or use the Mix Only
setting to use the Master out.
MIDI In You can set which MIDI channel the pad group responds to.
Each pad group could have a unique MIDI Input channel.
Pad Root This setting is read from the file when it is imported. The first loop
sets the Pad Root value for each additional loop.
Velocity—Low The minimum velocity value that triggers the pad group.
Velocity—High The maximum velocity value that triggers the pad group.
Key Map—Unity The MIDI note value at which the loop plays at the Pad Root
pitch. This value is assigned to a loop when it is imported. You
can change the Unity value in the Pad Inspector or in the Key
Map view.
Key Map—Low The lowest MIDI note value that triggers the pad group. Both the
Low and High not values transpose the pitch of the loop if they
are different from the Unity note value. The transposition is
relative to the Unity note. The played pitch of the loop is not
same as the MIDI note that triggers it unless the Unity note and
the Pad Root note are the same.
Key Map—High The highest MIDI note value that triggers the pad group.
Tails The tails feature extends the “tail” or decay of a slice which may
otherwise have ended prematurely, drowned out by the next
slice. This is particularly useful when you substitute a longer slice
with a shorter one leaving room for a tail to sound.
Latch The Latch option gives you a second mode for triggering pads. In
Latch mode, a Groove Clip plays continuously when triggered
until it is triggered again. With Latch mode disabled, a pad only
plays as long as the key or mouse button is held and stops when
you release. If you want to set all pads to the same Latch state,
hold down the Shift key while setting the Latch for any one pad.
Pitch Markers This option forces Cyclone DXi to follow SONAR’s Pitch
markers. When a Pitch marker is encountered, the loop is
transposed by the same number of semi-tones as the pitch
change in SONAR.
