Chorusing The Layer; Sound Start Offset And Delay - E-Mu XK6Xtreme Keys Owner's Manual

Chorusing the Layer

WARNING: Because it
works by doubling instruments,
Chorusing halves the number of
notes you can play.

Chorusing "thickens" the sound by doubling the sound in stereo and then
detuning it. Every layer with chorus turned on uses twice the polyphony
for that layer.
L1
CHORUS
off
The first field in this screen turns Chorus On or Off and allows you to adjust
the amount of detuning (1 to 100%). The Width parameter controls the
stereo spread. 0% reduces the chorus to mono and 100% provides the most
stereo separation.
Sound Start sets where the instrument begins playing when you hit a key.
Setting the Start Offset amount to "0" plays the sample from the beginning.
Higher values move the Sample Start Point further into the sample toward
the end. There is also a PatchCord source which can be used to change the
Sound Start point at note-on time.

Controlling the Sound Start using Key Velocity (< Amt -) brings in the attack of the wave
only when you play hard. This is especially effective with percussion instruments.
Delay defines the time between when you hit a key (note-on) and the onset
of the current layer's note and the start of the envelopes (if applicable).
Delay values below zero are Tempo-based values, meaning the time is based
on the Master Tempo setting. Note values are displayed by adjusting the
Delay Time value below zero. The sound will be delayed by the selected
note value based on the master clock.
