14.2.3 Multiple Velocity Layers
It is possible to add more than one sample to a pad, enabling you to trigger different samples
based on velocity. For instance, you may want to have three different samples for a single
snare drum pad: one soft, one medium, and one loud. This way, when you play Impact, the
snare drum will sound much more realistic than if you used a single sample.
To do this, hold [Shift] when dragging a sample or clip to a pad. This will add a new layer to the
pad, indicated by the bar graph in the sample display. Click-and-drag the bar graph left or
right to alter the velocities at which the samples will trigger. The velocity range for the
currently selected sample will be highlighted.
14.2.4 Pitch Control
You can modify the pitch for each pad's sample using the Pitch controls.
• Pitch Envelope
o
Attack. Adjusts the amount of time from when the pad is triggered to when the
envelope value is reached. Variable from 0s to ∞.
o
Hold. Adjusts the amount of time the envelope value will be held after the attack
period and before decay begins. Variable from 0s to ∞.
o
Decay. Adjusts the amount of time it takes after the hold period to return to the
original pitch. Variable from 0.98 ms to ∞.
• Pitch
o
Envelope. Adjusts the detune range of the pitch envelope in cents. Variable from -
1,200 to 1,200 cents. (The default value is 0, meaning the pitch envelope has no
effect.)
o
Velocity. Adjusts the maximum detune value, in cents, that pitch is affected by
velocity (the maximum detune value when triggered note velocity equals 127).
Variable from -1,200 to 1,200 cents.
o
Trans. Adjusts the transposition in semitones for the selected pad. Variable from -
10 to 12.
o
Tune. Adjusts the tuning, in cents, for the selected pad. Variable from -100 to 100
cents.
