Sample
Thisiswhereyouassignasampleroottothecurrentkeyrange.Dependingonthenatureofthe
sampleroot—anindividualsampleorablockofsampleroots—thesample’snamelooksabit
differentinthedisplay.Eachsample’snameconsistsofthreeparts:anumeral,aname,and
a
notenumber—forexample,999Silence‐C4.Additionally,thenameofstereosampleswillend
withanS.(Touseastereosample,theStereoparametermustbesettoOnintheProgramEditor,
andtwokeymapsmustbeselected,seeTheKEYMAPPage on page 6‐19fordetails.)
Thenumeral
isthesampleblockID.Ifthesampleobjectisanindividualsample, thesample
blockIDisthesameasthesample’sobjectID.Ifthesampleobjectisagroupofsampleroots,the
objectIDofthefirstrootinthegroupdeterminesthesampleblockID.
Theremainingrootsin
theblockhavethesameID,anddifferonlyintheirnotenumbers.
Nextcomesthenameofthesample,whichtypicallydescribesthesample’stimbre.Thefinal
partofthesample’snamereferstothe pitchatwhichitwasoriginallysampled.Formany
timbres,multiple
samplesaremadeatvariouspitches.AsyouscrollthroughtheSamplelist,
you’llseeonlythepitchofthesamplechangeuntilyoureachthenextsampleblock.The
sample’soriginalpitchissetintheSampleEditor(seeRootKey on page 14‐10.)Thisdetermines
whichkeywillplaythe

KeyRangebelow.)
Key Range
Akeyrangeisarangeofkeyboardkeysthatplaysonesample(pervelocityrange,seeVelocity
