Frequency: C0...C10—Sets the base frequency of the instrument in
semitones. When Sample Stretch is off, changing the parameter value
here shifts the sample set relative to that value. When Sample Stretch is
on, changing the parameter value here will tune the pitch of the stretched
sample by the designated value.
Fine Tune: -50...+50—Sets the base frequency of the instrument in cents.
You can “tune” an instrument or sample with this control.
Tone: -64...+63—The Tone control is a high-pass/low-pass lter. Use it
to remove unwanted high or low frequencies in the selected instrument
so that it blends better with the other components in a sound (such as a
second sampled instrument or the oscillators). Turn the knob clockwise to cut
low frequencies. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to cut high frequencies.
Key Follow: On, Off—Turns pitch tracking on and off for an instrument.
When off, playing higher or lower notes on the keyboard will not change
the pitch of an instrument. This is useful for sound effects and percus-
sion, where you may not want pitch shifting to occur.

Stretch Key: C-2...G8—When Sample Stretch is on, this indicates which
key/note (and its associated sample) is stretched. Changing the stretch
key note value will change which sample is stretched (since each key
typically has a different sample mapped to it).
Boost: 0...+9dB—Boosts the gain of the selected instrument up to 9dB
in 3dB increments.
Glide Rate: 0...127—When the sample stretch and glide buttons are
both on, this control sets how quickly the pitch of one note glides up or
down from the pitch of the previously played note. On sampled instru-
ments, glide only works when Sample Stretch is enabled. For more
information about Glide, see page 77.
LPF Bypass: On/Off—Enables the selected instrument to be unaffected
by the synthesizer’s low-pass lter or the lter envelope. This is useful
if you want a sampled instrument to remain sonically separate from the
sound of the oscillators, which always pass through the lters.
