Pitch; Pitch Lane - Korg wavestate Owner's Manual

Wave Sequencing 2.0
Semi (Semitones)
[-12...+12]
This transposes the Multisample up or down by up to 12 semitones. Use this (and other pitch-related parameters on
this page) instead of the Pitch Lane when you want the transposition to be tied to a specific Multisample.
Fine (Fine Tune)
[-99...+99]
This tunes the Multisample up or down by up to 99 cents (1/100 of a semitone).
Trim
[-Inf, -84.9...0.0 dB]
This adjusts the volume of the Multisample.
S. Offset (Start Offset)
[0...8]
In addition to simply starting playback from the beginning, Multisamples may have up to 8 different pre-programmed
alternate starting points, or "Start Offsets." These skip part of the beginning of the samples, either to make them more
gentle (for percussive sounds) or to make them start more quickly (for sounds with slow attacks). The number of
available offsets will vary depending on the specific Multisample.
If no alternate start points are available, this will show n/a.
Prob (Probability)
See "Step Probability" on page 21.
Fixed Pitch
[Original, Off, On, On+Pt Lane]
By default, most Multisamples change in pitch as you play up and down the keyboard. A few, however, use "Fixed
Pitch" so that they make the same sound all the way across the keyboard—such as for drums or special effects. This
parameter allows you to enable Fixed Pitch for Multisamples which normally transpose, or disable Fixed Pitch for
those which normally do not transpose.
Use this for creative purposes, but be aware that Multisamples may behave strangely if this is set to anything other
than Original.
Original: This is the default. Fixed Pitch will be on or off according to the Multisample's programmed value.
Off: The Multisample will transpose. Multisamples originally programmed to use Fixed Pitch may reach their
transposition limit at some point on the keyboard, and not get any higher in pitch.
On: The Multisample will use Fixed Pitch even if it is not programmed to do so. Note: in some cases, you may hear the
individual samples in the Multisample, each at their original pitch. Also, the Pitch Lane will not affect this Step.
On+Pt Lane: Similar to On, except that the Pitch Lane will affect the Step.

Use Shape
[Off, On]
When this is On, non-zero pitch values will be scaled by the Shape Lane. If the pitch offsets are zero, Shape has no
effect.
