Root Key
Therootkeyrepresentsthekeyboardkeyatwhichthesamplewillplaybackwithout
transposition(thatis,atthesamepitchasthepitchoftheoriginalsample).Usethe‐/+buttonsor
AlphaWheeltoselectaRootKeynote,orusethealphanumericpadfollowedbytheEnter
buttontoenteraRootKeybyMIDInotenumber.
Pitch Adjust
Usethisparametertochangethepitchofthesamplerelativetothekeyfromwhichit’splayed.
Settingavalueof100cts,forexample,willcausethesampletoplaybackonesemitonehigher
thannormal.Thisparameterishandy
forfinetuningsamplestoeachotherifthey’reslightlyout
oftune.
Volume Adjust
Uniformlyboostorcuttheamplitudeoftheentiresample.
Alternative Start Volume Adjust (AltVolAdjust)
Thisparametersetstheamplitudeofthesamplewhenthealternativestartisused.Seepage 6‐21

Decay Rate
This
parameterdefineshowlongthesampletakestodecay(fade)tozeroamplitude(silence).

amplitudeenvelopearecomplete.DecayRateaffectseachsampleindividually,andisineffect
onlywhentheamplitudeenvelope

Release Rate
Thereleaseratedetermineshowlongthesamplewilltaketodecaytozeroamplitudewhen
