Reverse [Off, On]
This lets you play the selected multisample backwards,
without looping.
Note: If the individual samples within a Multisample are
already set to Reverse, they will still play in reverse,
regardless of this setting.
On (checked): The Multisample will play back in reverse.
Off (unchecked): The Multisample will play back normally.
Level [0…127]
This sets the basic volume level of the multisample. Use this
to adjust the balance between the four velocity zones.
The Excitation Mixer, main Mixer, and Amp sections can
modify this basic level extensively with envelopes, LFOs,
keyboard tracking, and other modulation; for more
information, see “4–4: Excitation Mixer,” on page 219, “4–
9: Mixer,” on page 232, and “6–1: Amp,” on page 242.
Depending on the multisample, high Level settings may
cause distortion when playing many notes at a time. If
this occurs, lower the Level.
With SAMPLING mode Multisamples, each Sample also
has a “+12dB” option. If this is turned on, the Sample will
play back approximately 12dB louder. You can configure
this parameter for each Sample in SAMPLING mode. For
more information, see “+12dB” on page 590.
Start Offset [Off, 1st…8th]
In addition to simply starting playback from the beginning,
ROM and EXs Multisamples can have up to 8 different pre-
programmed alternate starting points.
Similarly, SAMPLING mode and User Sample Bank
Multisamples can play either from the beginning of the
waveform, or from the loop start point.
Start Offsets: ROM and EXs
With ROM and EXs Multisamples, the Start Offset specifies
whether to use the normal start point (Off), or to use one of
the alternate start points (1st–8th).
Some ROM and EXs Multisamples may have fewer than 8
pre-programmed points, in which case only the available
points can be selected.
Start Offsets: SAMPLING mode and User Sample
Banks
With SAMPLING mode and User Sample Bank
Multisamples, only Off and 1st are available. Off uses the
normal start point, and 1st uses the loop start instead. 2nd
through 8th will be grayed out.
Bottom Velocity [1…127]
This sets the lowest velocity at which the Multisample or
will sound. MS1’s Bottom Velocity can be equal to, but not
lower than, than that of MS2.
MS2…3 and MS4 (Low)
These are the settings for the remaining velocity zones. The
parameters for MS2 and MS3 are exactly the same as those
for “MS1 (High),” above.
The parameters for MS4 (Low) are also similar to those for
MS1, except that MS4 has no setting for Bottom Velocity
(which is always fixed at 1).
