Set Up a Sample Pad

Use a sample pad when you only want to play or loop through a WAV file with no slicing
and no beat synchronization within the playback. This can be useful for playing one-shots
like drum sounds, or playing melodies using samples for the notes. You can also use this
mode when you have a bank of samples that you want to map across the keyboard. This
can be used to map different sounds to different note triggers, or to map the same
instrument recorded at different pitches across the notes on the keyboard to get
improved pitch shifting across a broader range of notes. We will first discuss Sample
mode pads loaded with a single sample, and then explain the special case of multi-
samples.

Single Sample Pads

A sample pad loaded with a single sample supports reverse playback, along with forward
and bidirectional looping. You can also use the Start and Len parameters to play a portion
of the WAV file.
Follow the steps in the previous section to create a sample pad. An example of a good
WAV file to use for a sample pad is \drums\Kick 1.wav. Press the INFO button to toggle
between the Waveform screen and the Pad Parameters screen. Touch the buttons across
the bottom of the parameters screen to access the various parameter pages for this pad.
Use the control knob closest to the parameter name to change the value of a parameter.

Pos Parameters Specific to Sample Pads

Parameter Description
Loop Mode Controls whether the WAV file plays in a loop,
and the direction of the loop.
When looping is enabled (Forward or Bidirect),
if you have the Launch Mode set to Trigger,
looping will happen for the duration of the
Release phase of the note.
If you have the Launch Mode set to Gate,
looping plays through the gate pulse and the
release time.
If you have the Launch Mode set to Toggle,
looping starts to play when the initial pulse is
received and continues until the terminating
toggle pulse is received.
If Loop Mode is Bidirect, and Rev is ON,
playback will start from the end of the sample,
and then loop as described, but starting with
the Loop End to Loop Start pass.

Range of Values
None: Plays once from the
value assigned to the Start
parameter through the value
assigned to the Length
parameter.
Forward: Plays from the value
assigned to the Start
parameter through the value
assigned to the Loop End
Parameter, then jumps back
to the value of the Loop Start
parameter. Play continues to
loop between Loop Start and
Loop End for the duration of
the note.
Bidirect: Works similarly to
forward, but loop playback
proceeds from Loop Start to
Loop End then backwards to
Loop Start. It then repeats the
looping back and forth.
