Low Key

The Low Key setting is used to determine the lowest note that triggers the

selected sample. Each sample is played from its Low Key up to anothers

sample's Low Key (no overlapping is permitted)

Root Key

The Root Key setting determines the key that plays back the sample at its

original pitch. 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. If you wish to

obtain the most natural sound then you should set the sample's root note to

the same note as the one at which the sample was initially recorded.

Otherwise the sample will be pitch-shifted. In many cases however, it is

precisely these effects that give the sample an interesting and unusual

sound.

KBD TRK

The KBD TRK (Keyboard Tracking) button setting determines whether the

sample tracks the pitch of incoming MIDI messages. If Track is switched off

the frequency of the sample is fixed at its original value.

Use LPS

The USE LPS button setting determines whether or not the sample loops

when it is played back. If USE LPS is set to Off then the sample will only

play once each time it is triggered. If the sample contains loop points, these

are used for looping, otherwise the entire sample loops.

F1/F2

The F1 and F2 controls determine the amount of signal that is sent to Filter

1 or Filter 2 respectively.
