a thick and fat sound. This does not affect polyphony (however it does use
more CPU resources). Range: Off, 0...20 cent.
The TimeTrack control enables you to set the duration of the sample
independently of its pitch. Let's say for example, your sample's root note is
C3 and that it is 4 seconds in duration. What happens to the duration of the
sample when you play a C4? This is where Time Tracking comes into play.
If you set the Time Tracking control to 0, the sample duration remains at 4
seconds. If you set the Time Tracking control to 100%, the sample duration
will be reduced to 2 seconds (a doubling of the frequency results in a
halving of the duration, just as in the case of a conventional sampler). If you
set the control to 50%, the duration will be about 3 seconds, while with a
setting of -100% the sample is reversed and has a duration of 8 seconds.
Range: -100%...100%
The Time control enables you to continuously time-stretch the loaded
sample in real-time. As a result, you can shorten or lengthen the sample
independently of its pitch. For example, a value of 133 means that the
sample is 133% of its original length. If it was originally 3 seconds in
duration it becomes four seconds in duration. Range: 25...3200.
The Octave, Semitone and Cent controls are used to set the Generator's
pitch. Octave sets the Generator pitch in octaves. A range of -3 to +3
octaves is available. Semitone sets the Generator pitch in semitones. A
range of -11 to +11 semitones is available. Cent sets the oscillator pitch in
cents (a semitone is equal to 100 cents). A range of -100 to +100 cents is
available.
The Root control enables you to set the unity note of the loaded sample. If,
for example, you set Root to "C1" and play a C2 the sample will be played
one octave above its original frequency. In the case of the Time Sampler
Generator, if you wish to obtain the most natural sound then it's essential
that the sample's root note is set to the same note as the one at which the
sample was initially recorded. Otherwise the Generator will produce unusual
effects. In many cases however, it is precisely these effects that give the
CronoX its interesting and unique sounds. Range: CO...C6.
