Explanation
This parameter should only be used to
ensure that all phrases have more or less the
same level. You therefore may have to press
other keys to compare the current phrase
with the others.
Every phrase is played back "as is": stereo
phrases are therefore played back in stereo.
But you can nevertheless use this parameter
to shift your phrases towards the left or
right channel, which may be interesting for
question-and-answer phrases. Select "0" to
use the phrase's original stereo placement.
There are several functions that allow you to
specify how the selected phrase should be played
back. Some of them can even be combined.
• "Restart":
This setting means that the phrase always
starts from the beginning when the
assigned key is pressed.
• "Continue":
This setting means that the phrase will
resume from the place where it (was)
stopped last time. This may be interesting
for spoken or sung phrases you want to
chop up in realtime.
• "Trigger":
This setting means that you can start the
phrase by briefly pressing the assigned
key. Press that key again if you need to
stop the phrase before it is finished.
• "Gate":
This setting means that you need to hold
down the assigned key for the entire
duration of the phrase (or for as long as
the phrase should be played).
• "Drum":
This setting means that the phrase is
always played from its "Loop Start" to its
"Loop End" position.
Briefly pressing the assigned key is
therefore enough. But you could press
it again before the end of the phrase to
return to the beginning ("retrigger").
This setting cannot be combined with
"Playback" parameter. Be aware that,
while Mode "Loop" is active (see below), a
phrase with this setting will keep playing
indefinitely. To stop it, either press another
key or select another playback function
(Trigger or Gate).
