PROG P2: OSC/Pitch
These pages control the first and most basic elements of
sounds: the Multisamples that the oscillators play, and the
pitch at which it plays them. For instance, you can:
• Select Multisamples for Single and Double Programs, or
Drum Kits for Drums and Double Drums Programs.
• Set up velocity splits, crossfades, and layers for Single and
Double Programs.
• Set the basic pitch of the sound, including the octave, fine
tuning, and so on.
• Control pitch modulation using a variety of controllers
such as LFO, pitch EG, and the joystick.
Note that when the Oscillator Mode is set to Single or
Drums, only Oscillator 1’s filters are active; the pages for
Oscillator 2’s filters will be grayed out.
Multisamples, and Drum Kits
Multisamples and Drum Kits allow you to play samples in
different ways.
• Multisamples lay out one or more samples across the
keyboard. For instance, a very simple guitar Multisample
might have six samples one for each string.
• As the name suggests, Drum Kits are optimized for
playing drum samples.
Velocity splits, crossfades, and layers
Each oscillator has eight velocity zones that allow different
keyboard velocities to switch the multisample or drum
sample that is actually sounded.
For each zone, you can specify the threshold (boundary
value) and crossfade (how velocity will smoothly fade
between the samples of adjacent zones). This allows you to
create velocity‐switched or layered sounds, such as the
following examples.
• Velocity splits in which the zones are cleanly separated at
their threshold
• Velocity crossfades in which the zones will smoothly
crossfade beyond their threshold.
• Velocity layers in which additional sounds are added for
a velocity region above a specified threshold.
Note: If the Oscillator Mode is Drums or Double Drums, the
velocity zone settings already specified for the drum kit will
be applied, and will not be shown in the screen. The velocity
zones for a drum kit can be edited in Global P5 Drum Kit
(see p.205). Pressing the Jump to Drum Kit Edit button
shown in the screen will take you directly to Global P5.
2–1: OSC1 Setup
Program’s sounds are based on multisamples, and this page
lets you set up all of the basic multisample‐related settings.
Among other things, you can:
• Select Multisamples for the Oscillator (in a Single or
Double Program), or select the Drum Kit for a Drum
Program
• Set the Oscillator’s basic pitch
2–1a: OSC1 Frequency
“Oscillator Mode” Single, Double
OSC1 Frequency
Octave [–2[32'], –1[16'], +0[8'], +1[4']]
This sets the basic pitch of the Oscillator, in octaves. The
default is +0[8']. The standard octave of a multisample is +0
[8'].
Transpose [–12...+12]
This adjusts the pitch in semitones, over a range of ±1
octave.
Tune [–1200...+1200]
This adjusts the pitch in cents, over a range of ±1 octave. A
cent is 1/100 of a semitone.
Frequency Offset [–10.0Hz ... +10Hz]
This adjusts the pitch by increments of 0.1 Hz. Frequency
Offset is different from Tune in that, when used to detune
the two oscillators, it can create a constant beat frequency
across the range of the keyboard.
2–1b: Multisamples
Use the slider on the left to check the settings of each drum
sample shown in abbreviated form. Drag the slider to view
the settings.
1: Multisample 1
If you want to create a simple setup with only a single
Multisample, just set up Multisample1 as desired, and then
set the Threshold Velocity to 1 and the Crossfade
(Crossfade Range) to Off.
Multisample On/Off [Off, On]
Specifies whether the multisample 1 will sound.
It will sound if this is On.
