Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 90)

Parameter Description
Polyphony Here you can define a voice limit for the Sound, that is the maximum number
of voices (notes) the Sampler can play simultaneously. Once this polyphony
has been reached, triggering any additional note will kill the “oldest” note still
playing (i.e. the note that was triggered first). The available values are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8
(default), 16 , 32 , and 64 . You can also set this to Legato — in that case the
polyphony is set to 1 and the Sampler performs a continuous pitch transition
between consecutive notes.
Glide If Legato is selected for the Polyphony parameter, this allows to adjust the
duration of the transition between consecutive notes.
Pitchbend Here you can adjust how the Sound reacts on incoming MIDI Pitchbend
messages from an external MIDI controller or your host application. For more
information on how to setup your Sounds to receive MIDI, refer to section
Triggering Sounds via MIDI Notes .
ENGINE
Mode
This allows you to select between different models for the sampling engine.
Besides the default Standard setting, the other options MP60 and S1200
emulate the sound of two legendary Samplers that are often used in Hip-Hop
and similar genres of music. The latter comes in various flavors offering
different filtering: S1200 (no filtering), S1200 L (for Low, i.e. low-pass filtering),
S1200 LM (for Low-Mid, i.e. low-mid-pass filtering), S1200 HM (for High-Mid,
i.e. mid-high-pass filtering), and S1200 High (for High, i.e. high-pass filtering).

Parameter Description
PITCH / GATE
Tune
Defines the basic pitch of your Sample: turn the knob to the right for a higher
pitch and to the left for a lower pitch.
Start Determines the start point of the Sample. This parameter can also be
modulated by the Velocity control, see Page 5: LFO .
Reverse If Reverse is activated, the Sample will be played backwards.
Type Selects from three different types of amplitude envelopes. See below for
more information.
