Before you experiment with ABSYNTH’s sampling possibilities, you should rst load a
neutral patch. Choose the New Sound option in the File menu of the Navigation Bar, and
then open the Patch Window.
In order to load a Sample into an Oscillator module, do the following:
1. Choose the Sample entry from the Synthesis menu. On the Sample Selector below, you
will see (none) displayed:
2.
Click on this Sample Selector. This activates a dialog that allows you to choose a sample
to open on your hard drive.
3. Choose a sample le that you would like to load and click on “Open.”
→ The Sample is now loaded, and the Sample Selector displays its name.
ABSYNTH 5 can read AIFF and WAV data (stereo or mono) ranging from 16 to 32 bit and
any sampling rate.
In Sample mode, the Main panel holds the following parameters:
• SampleSelector: See description above.
•
Mono/Stereoswitch: Stereo samples can be reproduced in stereo or mono, depending on
your liking. If you have loaded a stereo sample, you can use the Mono/Stereo switch to
switch between mono and stereo reproduction. If your sample cannot be switched to
stereo, then it is a mono sample.
•
FrequencymenuandFrequencycontrol: Enables you to enter the oscillator’s frequency as
a transposition of the played note (Trans), as a relationship (Ratio) with the played note,
as a xed Frequency (Hz) or via a xed MIDI note (Note). The Sample will be reproduced
with its original speed when the MIDI Note C3 is played. Lower notes produce a slower,
lower sound, while higher notes sound higher and faster. See section 5.4.2, “Oscillator’s”,
above for more info on these controls.
