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
foradiscussionofAltSwitch.
Decay Rate
Thisparameterdefineshowlongthe
sampletakestodecay(fade)tozeroamplitude(silence).
DecayRate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.IfModeisUser,thesettingson
theAMPENVpageoverridethesettingforDecayRate .
DecayRateoperatesintwodifferentways,dependingonthenatureofthesample.Ifit’saROM
sampleoraKurzweil‐formatRAMsample,DecayRatetakeseffectintheloopportionofthe
sample,afterallthe attackstagesoftheamplitudeenvelope
arecomplete.Fornon‐Kurzweil
RAMsamples,DecayRatetakeseffectassoonasthesamplestarts,regardlessofthelengthofthe
attackstages.
