Crumar Seventeen and Seventeen "Parsifal" User's Manual
CHAPTER 4. SOUNDS: SAMPLED MATERIAL.
The main sound engine of your instrument is the sample player GSP-01. This player can only play back custom Crumar and GSi sample
sets, can't import user created samples and other common formats, but can be updated with new sounds whenever these are released.
The sample sets inside Crumar Seventeen and Crumar Seventeen "Parsifal" are mainly dedicated to acoustic grand pianos, electro-
acoustic and electro-mechanical pianos, digital pianos from the '80 and the '90. Some combos are also available. They are sampled
using a proprietary technology and they don't use loops, most of them use from 6 to 12 velocity layers. Physical modeling are used in
order to add resonances and interactions between the strings, pedals and wood. Please check www.crumar.it for sample-sets
compatible with your model. Please note that, sounds that are considered "Factory" on Crumar Seventeen, can be expansions for
the Crumar Seventeen "Parsifal" and contrary. This means that some sounds can't be uninstalled or that some sounds, even if
you can download them from www.crumar.it, can't be installed in your instrument because they are already present. Sample
expansions for Seventeen and for Seventeen "Parsifal" are compatible with Seven.
The parameters (showed in the screen as "SMP") dedicated to sampled material are:
– LEVEL: Volume of the sample set.
– ATTACK TIME: Attack time relative to the sample-set built-in attack value.
– RELEASE TIME : Release time relative to the sample-set built-in release value.
– FILTER: Modifies the low-pass filter response.
– VELOCITY: Adjusts the MIDI velocity response.
– PIANO RESONANCE: If a piano sample is selected, this parameter adjusts the piano resonance level; does nothing for other kind
of samples.
– RELEASE LEVEL: Adjusts the level of the release sample (if any).
– PEDAL LEVEL: Adjusts the level of the pedal noise sample (if any).
