Ram samples
With Ram drum samples, only Off and 1st are available. Off
uses the normal start point, and 1st uses the loop start
instead. 2nd through 8th will be grayed out.
Lvl (Amp Level)
Specifies the volume.
Keys for which a value of +99 is specified will sound at a
volume twice as high as the amp level of the program which
uses that drum kit. Keys for which a value of 0 is specified
will sound at the volume of the amp level of the program
which uses that drum kit. Keys for which a value of –99 is
specified will not sound.
Bottom Vel. (Bottom Velocity)
This sets the lowest velocity at which the drum sample will
sound. DS1's Bottom Vel. can be equal to, but not lower
than, than that of DS2.
Xfd (Xfade Range)
This specifies the velocity range starting at Bottom Vel. over
which DS1 will fade-out and DS2 will fade-in.
For instance, if the Bottom Vel. is set to 64, and the Xfd is set
to 20, DS2 will start to fade in at velocities of 84 and below.
When velocities are within the Xfd, the Oscillator will use
twice as much polyphony as it would normally.
Note: You can only fade between two zones at once.

Xfade Curve [Lin(Linear), Pwr(Power), Lyr(Layer)]
This controls the volume curve of the crossfade. Lin and
Pwr (short for Equal Power) let you fine-tune the way that
the two drum samples mix together; one or the other may be
more appropriate for a given pair of drum samples. Lyr
(Layer), true to its name, lets you layer the two drum
samples together without any crossfading.
Lin(Linear) means that the two samples will each be at 50%
of their full volume in the middle of the crossfade.
Sometimes, this may create a dip in the volume level; if so,
try using Pwr(Power) instead.
Pwr(Power), short for Equal Power, means that the two
samples will each be at around 70% of their full volume in
the middle of the crossfade. Sometimes, this may create a
bump in the volume level, in which case you might try
selecting Lin(Linear) instead.
Lyr(Layer) means that the two drum samples will be layered
together, both at full volume, for the entire range of the
crossfade.

DS2(M Hi): (Drumsample2 Mid High)
DS3(M Lo): (Drumsample3 Mid Low)
DS4(Low): (Drumsample4 Low)
These are the settings for the second, third, and fourth
velocity zones. The parameters for DS2 (Mid Hi) and DS3
(Mid Lo) are exactly the same as those for DS1, as described
above.
The parameters for DS4 (Low) are also similar to those for
DS1, except that DS4 (Low) has no settings for Bottom Vel.
(which is always fixed at 1), Xfd, or Curve.
