Mix/Tune Page
Volume, pan, direction, transpose, coarse tuning, and fine tuning can be adjusted
separately for each voice. The Mix/Tune window allows you to see these settings for
each voice at the same time, giving you an overview of your preset’s direction, volume,
pan, tuning, and transpose settings for each voice. All of these controls are available in
the other tabbed windows, but in this window, you can see the volume and pan for
each channel.
Additionally, from this screen, you can easily select multiple voices and change their
volumes with one adjustment. Select the voices whose Volume or Pan you want to
change, and hold Shift while dragging the volume right or left.

When a sample is recorded, it is automatically placed in a voice and assigned a
keyboard range specified in the “Auto-Placement” parameters in the “Acquire” or
Import Samples” options in the File menu. The Key Range Window allows you to edit
these assignments and place the voices and samples wherever you want.
A voice containing only one sample takes the name of the sample. If a voice contains
more than one sample, it is called a “Multisample” and the samples it contains are
listed below it. The screen above shows two single sample voices. Voice 1 plays on the
lower half of the keyboard and voice 2 plays on the upper half.
The Original Key determines the pitch of the sample. The original key need not be
located between the high and low key ranges. Samples normally have the original key
