4.1.1 Voice Settings
Mono
Glide
Group
If this Button is selected, the Sound will be played in Mono mode.
If Mono is selected, this allows for a portamento-effect between consecutive
steps.
You can choose one of the 8 Voice Groups here or leave this option set
to Off. If you assign more than one Sound to the same Voice Group,
they will cancel each other out. This is a behavior you can find in vintage
drum machines (typically used to “choke” the open hi-hat with
the closed one), but also in monophonic synthesizers that are only
capable of playing one note at a time.
4.1.2 Velocity Destination
Start
Decay
Cutoff
Volume
This is a built-in modulation source that allows you to modulate the
sample Start parameter on Page 2 based on the input velocity. Positive
values shift the sample start position later in time as you play harder,
negative values shift it closer to the beginning of the sample as you
play harder. Tip: a typical example for this parameter is setting it so
that the initial attack transient of a snare drum is heard only at high
velocity values. This makes it sound “snappier” when you play hard,
and “mushier” or muted when you play softly.
This allows you to modulate the Decay parameter of the Amplitude
Envelope on page 2 by using Velocity.
This allows you to modulate the Cutoff parameter of the Filters with
filter types LP, HP, BP (on page 3).
This allows you to modulate Volume, which is what Velocity normally
is used for.
