5.4 NOTE SETTINGS ![]() VOLUME - Sets the sample volume. Note volumes placed in a track are relative to this volume. PITCH - Sets the relative sample pitch. When a sample is loaded from disk, the default sample playback rate is also read from file. This knob sets the playback rate up to 1 octave above or below the default samplerate. At position 0 the pitch is lowered 12 notes (1 octave). At position 5 the pitch is -11 notes, at 10 it's -10 notes, at 15 it's -9 notes, etc. So there are 5 positions between every note. ATTACK AND DECAY - These are the attack and decay times of the sample amplitude envelope. This envelope is identical to the ADSR envelopes used by the synthesizer. However, the sustain level is set at zero and the release time is set at a constant value. FXSEND AND FXTYPE - The FXSend knob determines how much of the sample output is send to the effects unit. Select an effect unit using the FXType LEDs. A small amount of reverb is often used on percussion samples. The delay effect is more useful for speech samples and sound effects. CUTOFF, RESO AND FILTER TYPE - Samples can be filtered during playback. To enable the filter, select a filter type from LP12, LP24, HP, BP, BR. These represent the low-pass 12dB, low-pass 24dB, high-pass, band-pass and band-reject filters. The cutoff knob sets the filter cutoff. For the LP12, LP24 and HP filters, the reso knob sets the resonance amount. For the BP and BR filters, the reso knob sets the filter bandwidth. Disable the filter by selecting the 'Off' option. This saves CPU time. V2A (VELOCITY TO AMPLITUDE) - Normally you control the amplitude of a sample using the note-on velocity. When this option is disabled all notes will have the same volume regardless of their note-on velocity. This option is normally enabled. V2D (VELOCITY TO DECAY) - When this option is enabled, the sample's decay time will be affected by the note-on velocity. Notes with a lower note-on velocity will have a shorter decay time. A velocity of 00 corresponds to the minimal decay time. A velocity of 7F corresponds to the sample's default decay time (the 'Decay' knob setting). V2F (VELOCITY TO FILTER) - When this option is enabled, the sample's filter cutoff will be affected by the note-on velocity. A velocity of 00 corresponds to the minimal cutoff setting. A velocity of 7F corresponds to the sample's default filter cutoff (the 'Cutoff' knob setting). V2O (VELOCITY TO OFFSET) - When this option is enabled, the sample's offset will be affected by the note-on velocity. A velocity of 00 corresponds to an offset of 0%. A velocity of 7F corresponds to an offset of 99%.
