4. Select ROM Stereo as the Multisample Bank for MS1
and MS2.
There are four main types of Multisample Banks: ROM,
SAMPLING mode, EXs, and User Sample Banks. For
each type, you can also choose between looking at mono and
stereo Multisamples. Note that stereo Multisamples will
require twice as many voices as mono Multisamples.
ROM Multisamples are the built-in "factory" sounds, and
are always available. These are organized by category, such
as pianos, guitars, bells, etc.
SAMPLING mode (Smp) Multisamples are the ones that
you can see and edit in SAMPLING mode. These may
include Akai, SoundFont 2.0, AIFF or WAV files loaded
from drive, or native NAUTILUS samples (including third-
party sound libraries and samples that you create yourself).
Anything that can be used in SAMPLING mode can also be
loaded as a User Sample Bank.
EXs Multisample banks are PCM expansion sets created
especially for the NAUTILUS. Each has its own unique
number; for instance, the ROM Expansion is EXs1, and the
Concert Grand Piano is EXs2. Only the currently loaded
EXs banks will appear in this menu.
User Sample Banks bring the benefits of EXs to your own
sample libraries. You can load and play gigabytes of your
custom or converted samples at once, using Virtual Memory.
They are shown as a path to a file on an internal drive,
including the file name and the names of all enclosing
directories. Only the currently loaded User Sample Banks
will appear in this menu. For more information, see "User
Sample Banks" on page 151.
5. Press the Multisample popup for MS1.
This brings up a list of Multisamples, organized by
category. Use the tabs at the left of the screen to browse
through the different categories.
6. Select a Multisample by touching its name in the list.
7. Press the OK button to confirm your selection.
8. Do the same for MS2.
Now that you've assigned Multisamples to MS1 and
MS2, let's set up the velocity ranges and crossfades.
9. Set MS2's Bottom Vel (Velocity) to 001, and its Xfade
Range to Off.
10.Set MS1's Bottom Vel (Velocity) to 80.
Now, MS2 will sound when you play softly, at velocities
of 79 or less–and MS1 will sound when you play harder,
with velocities of 80 or more.
You can also see this split visually, in the graphic on the
right side of the LCD.

11.Next, set MS1's Xfade Range to 20, and its Curve to
Linear.
Notice that the graphic now shows the two ranges
tapering into one another. Between 80 and 100, MS2 will
fade out, and MS1 will fade in, creating a gradual
velocity transition instead of a hard split.
12.If you like, adjust the Levels for the two Multisamples.
Rev. (Reverse) check box
Rev. (Reverse) lets you play the selected Multisample
backwards, without looping. This can produce interesting
results for sound effects or other unusual timbres. Reverse
applies only to Multisamples; when the Type is set Wave
Sequence, this is grayed out.
Note: This does not apply to samples from EXs or User
Sample Banks whose Load Method is set to Virtual
Memory.
