"Samples" are the smallest unit of
sound data used by the MV-8000;
they are digital data created by
recording or importing audio data.
Each partial lets you layer four
samples (either stereo or mono).
The combination of these samples
is called a SMT (Sample Mix
Table). You can make different
samples play according to
changes in velocity or some other
control method.
Main Features
In addition to up to four
samples (pieces of audio data),
the Sample Mix Table (SMT)
also contains level, pan, and
tuning data.
Velocity is part of the data of a
note. It indicates the strength
with which the note is played.
On the MV-8000, the velocity
of a note will depend on the
force with which you strike a
velocity pad or play a
connected MIDI keyboard.
