Panning Individual Samples
While in the PLAY MODE Window, samples can individually panned. To
pan samples, select and edit the 'PAN' field for each of the 4 sample
layers.
Tuning and Root Note
Samples in Keygroups can individually be tuned like in a sample
program, and additionally, the root note can be set, or the keygroup can
automatically be set to look to the sample for its root note if the original
note data was stored in the sample you are mapping.
To change a sample's root note setting, do the following:
01. Select the TUNE Field on the PROGRAM Page.
02. Press the [WINDOW] key.
The PITCH FUNCTION Window will be displayed.
03. In the 'Root' Column, set the root note of the sample.
Any note can be set here, or select 'AS SAMPLE' to use the samples default pitch. You can also set the root note by hitting a key on a MIDI
keyboard.
Keytracking
Samples can be individually set to ignore their keygrouping, and play in the pitch of their Root across the entire keygroup
range. This is helpful for percussive sounds, or for particular effects.
To turn off keytracking for individual samples, do the following:
01. Select the TUNE Field on the PROGRAM Page.
02. Press the [WINDOW] key.
The PITCH FUNCTION Window will be displayed.
03. In the KeyTrk Column, remove the check mark for each sample you wish to turn Keytracking off.
Keygroup Tune and Transpose
Entire Keygroup type programs can be transposed and Tuned as a
whole. Tuning and Transpose can have different affect on the sound,
depending on the source material. When pressing a key and
adjusting the tuning, the sample assigned to that key will be pitched
down. When pressing a key and adjusting the transpose, the note
being played will change. To change the keygroup or tune, do the
following:
in PROGRAM Mode, press the [F3] (PGM) button
01. Select the 'Transpose'
02. Each Keygroup Program can be transposed by up to +/- 36
Semitones (3 octaves).
03. Select 'Tune' and adjust the tuning of the keygroup as desired.
Each Keygroup can be tuned by up to +/- 36 Semitones (3 octaves).
