VERSION 1.30
S5/6000 NEW FEATURES
NEW 'RAMP' FUNCTIONS IN EDIT SAMPLE
To eliminate the possibility of clicks and pops at that the start and end of samples, two new
functions - RAMP START and RAMP END - are introduced in EDIT SAMPLE - FADE
UP/DOWN:
With RAMP START switched OFF (i.e.
), the rise time of the sampler is instant (0
milliseconds). However, this may introduce clicks in some cases. If this occurs, switch RAMP
START to ON (i.e.
). The default is default is OFF ( ).
With RAMP END switched ON (i.e.
), a short fade (128 samples or 3 milliseconds) is added at
the end of the sample to help reduce the possibility of clicks and pops. With it switched OFF
(i.e.
), no fade is applied. The default is ON (
).
Both functions are 'real-time' and can simply be switched ON or OFF according to your
preference.
NOTE: Previous Akai samplers apply a short fade up and down by default at the start and end
of a sample. This is also true of other sampler and most sound modules, soundcards, hard disk
recorders, etc., as it is good practice to apply small fades to reduce the possibility of clicks and
pops. However, when applied to the start of a sample, this can have the effect of 'softening' the
attack and/or missing important attack transient information. V1.30 gives you the option of
overriding these fades for optimum flexibility.
