Release Rate
Thereleaseratedetermineshowlongthesamplewilltaketodecaytozeroamplitudewhenthe
notetriggerisreleased.Thehigherthevalue,thefasterthereleaserate.Thisreleaseaffectseach
sampleindividually,andisineffectonlywhentheamplitudeenvelopefortheprogram(the
Modeparameter
ontheAMPENVpageintheProgramEditor)issettoNatural.Inthiscase,the
releasebeginsassoonasthenoteisreleased.IfModeisUser,thesettingsontheAMPENVpage

Loop Switch
Thisparameteractivatesordeactivatestheloopingofthecurrentlyselectedsample.Whensetto
On,thesamplewillloopaccordingtothe
settingsontheTRIMpage.WhensettoOff,the
samplewillplaythroughtoitsEndpointandstop.

playagainfromEndtoLoopandback,repeatinguntilthenotetriggerisreleased(thisworks
onlywhentheLoopSwitchparameterisset
toOn).
Alternative Sample Sense (AltSense)
Thisprovidesaconvenientwaytoactivatethealternativestartofasample.WhensettoNormal,
thealternativestartwillbeusedwhentheAltSwitchcontrolisOn(thisissetontheKEYMAP
page),orwhenthecontrolsourceassignedtoitisabove

alternativestartwillbeusedwhentheAltSwitchcontrolisOff,orwhenthecontrolsource

Ignore Release (IgnRelease)
WhensettoavalueofOff,thesamplewillreleasenormallywhenthenotetriggerisreleased.
WhensettoOn,thenotewillnotrelease,evenwhenthenotetriggerisreleased.Thissetting
