Fine Tune. Allows adjustment of the sample’s pitch + or - 100 cents. You can quickly
restore the Fine Tune control to zero by double-clicking the knob.
Rubber. A fun and unique feature especially suited to drum loops or snippets of entire
mixes. When set to the middle position, the Rubber effect is off. Turning the knob to
the left of center will make the sample begin at a high speed and pitch, then slow down
as it plays. Turning the Rubber knob to the right of center position has the opposite
effect: samples will start at a low pitch and get faster (and higher) as they play.
FILTER
If you’ve ever played with filter controls on an analog synthesizer, this should be
familiar; Alpha Sampler’s filter is a modeled classic lowpass filter.
Cutoff. Sets the lowpass frequency of the filter. In other words, all frequencies beneath
the cutoff knob setting are allowed to pass through, but frequencies above it are
blocked. (Hence the name: low pass… get it?)
Resonance. Rmphasizes frequencies close to the cutoff frequency. The higher the
setting of the Resonance knob, the greater the emphasis, resulting in the the familiar
“ringing” and (when the cutoff is modulated as described below), “wah-wah” sounds.
