Creating new Sounds or Audio Grooves
Pa1000 includes a full-featured sampler, that allows you to create new
Samples, new Multisamples and new synced Audio Grooves. In addition to
recording, you can load Samples, Multisamples, Sounds and banks of Sounds
from various formats.
Creating new ordinary or percussive Sounds
Sampling allows you to create new sounds, by recording from an external
source (for example, a microphone or a CD player) connected to Pa1000’s
audio inputs, or by loading files from a storage device.
To be used, Samples must then be assigned to a Multisample or a Drum Kit.
A Multisample allows you to arrange samples into separate zones of the key-
board. Drum Kits allows you to assign a different sample to each note of the
keyboard, with up to six dynamic layers per note.
Multisamples can then be assigned to Sounds. Sounds created with this func-
tion can be used as any ordinary Sound, and assigned to any part/track.
Creating Audio Grooves
Another powerful feature of the Sampling mode is the Time Slice, that lets
you add realism to MIDI tracks by creating Audio Grooves. Cycling rhythm
samples, usually named ‘audio grooves’, can be ‘sliced’ into separate per-
cussive instruments. Combined with MIDI tracks, the ‘sliced’ audio groove
can be kept in sync with the Tempo, and can play slower or faster than the
original groove.
