Synth Engine Section

The View B Synth Engine section of SKANNER contains the controls for synthesis and the
sample and playhead display area.
The sample display area shows the selected sample and the position of the playhead as a light
green line. When the playhead is modulated the position of playhead moves to different areas
as it reads the sample. In the full version of REAKTOR a WAV or AIFF file can be dropped on
the display area. The new sample replaces the current sample and will be stored with the En­
semble.
SKANNERS factory-preset Snapshots depend heavily on the supplied samples. If you replace
any samples please save your ensemble with a new name to avoid erasure of the original
samples.
The "Sample Lookup" module is the core of SKANNER but does not handle keyboard mapping
like the other REAKTOR samplers. Therefore the Sample Map Editor of REAKTOR does not ap­
ply. However, there are 12 Sample Lookup modules in the SKANNER instrument, so up to 12
different samples can be stored and used for creating snapshots.
With the two sliders you set a position in the sample that is the center or base for all other
modulation sources. For each of these sources the amount of position modulation is individual­
ly adjustable.
