Next is the Sample Name display, which not only indicates the name of the
used sample, but also has a color coding: When written in white, the
sample is from the CrX4 library (within the Library folder), when it is dark
red it is from outside the Library (thus indicating you need to make sure it is
always available at its current location as CrX4 might else not be able to
relocate it). A light red written sample name indicates that the sample could
not be located. As a guideline it is a good idea to save all presets to the “My
Presets” folder (or another user created folder) within the Library, as this
makes sure your samples are all in the Library and all you need to backup
is the Library (and no other locations).
The Sample control is used for loading and unloading samples. The Load
button (folder symbol) opens a dialog that lets you select a file for loading.
The Previous and Next buttons allow you to traverse a list of samples. The
Clear button (X symbol) is used to remove a sample from the Generator
(thus freeing memory and producing no sound anymore).
The Range controls is used to set the relative start and end point of the
sample. If the first (upper) value is set to 0 the sample starts right from the
file’s original start point. Higher values set the start point towards the end of
the sample. The same applies to the second (lower) value adjusting the
end of the used region of the sample.
The Root control enables you to set the unity note of the loaded sample. If,
for example, you set Root to C1 and play a C2 the sample will be played
one octave above its original frequency. In the case of the Time Sampler
Generator, if you wish to obtain the most natural sound then it's essential
that the sample's root note is set to the same note as the one at which the
sample was initially recorded. Otherwise the Generator will produce
unusual effects. In many cases however, it is precisely these effects that
give the CronoX its interesting and unique sounds.
The Loop switch enables a complete loop of the sample, that is, when it
comes to its end it starts from the begin again. This is aprticular useful with
short samples of when you shorten its time with the Time parameter.
