•
Startcontrol: Denes the starting point of the playback within the Sample relatively to
the overall sample duration.
The Mod panel offers you one parameter:
•
PlayModemenu: This menu lets you choose from three playback modes. If No Loop is
selected, the sample is played once (good for percussion sounds). If Loop All is selected,
the entire sample is played as a loop (this works best if you edit the loop beforehand to
create a seamless loop). If Loop Edit is selected, two additional parameters allow you to
adjust the start point and end point of the loop.
5.4.10 Granular Mode
Oscillator in Granular mode
The Granular mode also uses a sample as basis for the sound creation. However, this mode
divides the sample into many small grains, each containing a tiny fragment of the sound. In
this way you can independently control the sample’s pitch and duration. In Granular mode,
the duration of a Sample remains the same over the entire keyboard, whilst the notes deter-
mine the pitch.
On the Main panel, you nd the same parameters as in Sample mode. For more details,
please refer to the section 5.4.9, “Sample Mode”, above.
The Mod panel contains following parameters:
•
Time%: Determines the playback speed of the sample. 50% corresponds to half of the
original speed while 200% doubles the speed of your sound. If you set this value to zero,
the Sample for that length of time will “freeze.” When you have frozen a sample, you can
use the parameter Start control on the Main panel to establish when exactly it should freeze.
