The
S-330
allows you
to
assign
each Tone
to
a
different
keyboard
range.
A
sample
can be
played
in different
pitches (= keyboard
ranges), but
may
sound
unnatural or
strange
in
much
higher
or
lower
pitches.
When
piched
more
than
one
octave higher
or
lower
the
sound
may
appear
completely
different from
the
original
sample.
So,
when
you wish
to
play an
instrument
sound
over a wide keyboard
range,
for instance,
if
using a piano sound,
divide the keyboard
into 7
to
8
sections.
Then sample
a
certain notes,
and
distribute
the tones
made
by
the
wave
data
of the
sample
to
each keyboard
sections.
In this
way,
all
the key ranges
will
sound
natural.
It
is
also
interesting
to distrubute a
different
sound
to
each
keyboard range so
that
you can
hear
various sounds depending on
the key you
play.
The Tone assignment
to
each
key range
is
called
a
Patch.

Sampling
Changing sounds depending
how
you
play
the keyboard
Actual piano sounds change depending
not only
on
the pitch but also the strength
of playing.
When
you
play the keyboard
softly,
softer
and
rounder
sound
are
produced,
and when
played
hard, sharp
sounds
are created. Changing
the
volume
is
not
sufficient for
expressing
different playing manners.
To reproduce
realistic
piano sounds,
separately
sample
the
sounds which
are created by
playing
the keyboard
strong
and
weak. Then make
the
stronger
sound
play only
with
stronger playing
manner and
the
weaker sound
play only
with
a
weaker
playing manner.
This
can be performed
using the
Key Modes,
V-MIX
(Velocity Mix)
and
V-SW
(Velocity Switch),
etc
