Program mode
If Bank is set to RomM, the list shows all of the mono
Multisamples in the Bank. If the Bank contains stereo
multisamples, you’ll also see the left and right channels as
separate, mono multisamples, with –L and –R appended to
the end of the name.
If Bank is set to RomS, only stereo multisamples will be
shown.
RAM Multisample Select menu
Select a RAM multisample from the list. Press the OK button
to execute, or the Cancel button to cancel.
If Bank is set to RamM, the list shows all of the mono
Multisamples in the Bank. If the Bank contains stereo
multisamples, you’ll also see the left and right channels as
separate, mono multisamples, with –L and –R appended to
the end of the name.
If Bank is set to RamS, only the stereo Multisamples will
appear. However, they will still be listed as separate left and
right Multisamples. Selecting either the left or right channels
will select the stereo pair.
Rev (Reverse) [Off, On]
This plays the selected multisample in reverse without
looping it.
Note: If an individual sample within the multisample is
already set to reverse, it will play in reverse without this
setting.
On (checked): The multisample will play in reverse.
Off (unchecked): The multisample will play normally.
Ofs (Start Offset) [Off, 1st...8th]
In addition to simply starting playback from the beginning,
ROM and EXB Multisamples can have up to 8 different preprogrammed
alternate starting points.
Similarly, RAM Multisamples can play either from the
beginning of the waveform, or from the loop start point.
Ofs (Start Offset): ROM and EXB Multisamples
With ROM and EXB Multisamples, the Start Offset specifies
whether to use the normal start point (Off), or to use one of
the alternate start points (1st–8th).
Some ROM and EXB Multisamples may have fewer than 8
pre-programmed points, in which case only the available
points can be selected.
Ofs (Start Offset): RAM Multisamples
With RAM Multisamples, only Off and 1st are available. Off
uses the normal start point, and 1st uses the loop start
instead. 2nd through 8th will be grayed out.
Lvl (Level) [000...127]
This sets the basic volume level of the multisample. The
Amp section can modify this basic level extensively with
envelopes, LFOs, keyboard tracking, and other modulation;
for more information, please see “PROG P4: Amp/EQ,” on
page 58.
Depending on the multisample, high Level settings
may cause distortion when playing many notes at a
time. If this occurs, lower the Level.
With RAM Multisamples, each Sample also has a “+12dB”
option. If this is turned on, the Sample will play back
approximately 12 dB louder. You can configure this
parameter for each Sample in Sampling mode.
Bottom Vel. (Bottom Velocity) [001...127]
This sets the lowest velocity at which the Multisample will
sound. MS1’s Bottom Vel. can be equal to, but not lower
than, than that of MS2.
Xfd (Crossfade Range) [Off, 001...127]
This sets the range of velocities over which MS1 will fade
into MS2, going up from the Bottom Vel.
For instance, if the Bottom Vel. is set to 64, and the Xfd is set
to 20, MS2 will start to fade in at velocities of 84 and below.
When velocities are within the Xfd, the Oscillator will use
twice as much polyphony as it would normally.
Note: You can only fade between two zones at once.
Xfade Range = 20
Curve = Linear
Bottom Velocity = 64
84
Curve [Linear, Power, Layer]
This controls the volume curve of the crossfade. Linear and
Power (short for Equal Power) let you fine-tune the way that
the two Multisamples mix together; one or the other may be
more appropriate for a given pair of Multisamples. Layer,
true to its name, lets you layer the two Multisamples
together without any crossfading.
Linear means that the two samples will each be at 50% of
their full volume in the middle of the crossfade. Sometimes,
this may create a dip in the volume level; if so, try using
Power instead.
Power, short for Equal Power, means that the two samples
will each be at around 70% of their full volume in the middle
of the crossfade. Sometimes, this may create a bump in the
volume level, in which case you might try selecting Linear
instead.
